rcalder82 Posted April 28, 2010 Report Share Posted April 28, 2010 Latest myspace blog from the band...still hope?A note to clarify current rumours and a snidey wee NME article. Hello everyone,So there's been a bit of speculation flying about regarding Roddy's latest tour diary. The current situation is that we're working on our plans for the rest of the year, when these become more definite we'll be announcing them. What's certain is that there will be no more UK tours in support of 'Post Electric Blues' and there'll be a significant break/hiatus/rest before we'll begin writing another Idlewild record.Thanks Gareth Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Monster Zero Posted May 1, 2010 Report Share Posted May 1, 2010 I never really got all the fuss about them really. Bought 'The Remote Part' because 'You Held The World in Your Arms' is a pretty great tune. Ended up getting the first few albums mega cheap second hand in One Up out of interest a few years back, they are OK but don't listen to them much.I think I saw them live at the Princes Street Gardens Millenium party but I was KO'd pretty early doors on too much champers so don't recall much about them....

Guest idol_wild Posted May 2, 2010 Report Share Posted May 2, 2010 They became a weak live band about 3 or 4 years into their live career. Pretty much exactly the same time as Woomble decided to try and sing. This is something he cannot do for a sixty minute live set and stay in tune.Which is sort of sad.

jon Posted May 2, 2010 Report Share Posted May 2, 2010 Roddy's first solo album is awesome, but the Idlewild I loved effectively died when Bob left. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is something he cannot do for a sixty minute live set and stay in tune.I disagree with this.They're live act definitely changed when Roddy started singing instead of shouting, but I've seen them do plenty of strong gigs since then and never heard any major problems with his tuning.

Christy Posted May 2, 2010 Author Report Share Posted May 2, 2010 That Woomble solo gig at the Lemon Tree and the Secret is my Silence album were the best gig and album of the year (06?) imo. Also; when they played Moshooolooo between Chrimbo and New Year a coupla years back they were superb. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Finished with "Captain"-blew my mind. Idea Track was also played. Had such a great time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Idlewild just fucking clobbered me that night. It was very close to live music perfection.They completely deserved all their success in every way but, for me, they went off the boil in the past few years. I still bought all of their albums, though. And will probably continue to do so if they continue to release. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do recall him being on pain meds at the pre-new year gig because he broke his foot, maybe that had an effect? Still, I was there and I don't remember them performing badly.That being said, I didn't see 90's idlewild, so I can't really compare to then.In other news, I was walking down Sauchiehall street when Roddy Woomble ran across the road and asked me for a photo/autograph. I think the discomfort is evident in my pained expression. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
