I dug what I saw at Coachella (even though I had to cut my time with them short cuz of my friends) so I bought their cd..It's great! I highly recommend! :D

I know, I love them too. So much attitude boiling under a cool surface. I heard something about them planning a U.S. tour, but having a lot of dates cancelled for some reason or other. But now they're back on a limited tour. Alas, no Minneapolis. But I think they are hitting NYC and L.A.?

poobs - 5-5-2003 at 10:18 AM

I didn't see LA in their tour plans on their site..Curses!! Oh well..There's always next time, eh? :yes:

draconian - 5-5-2003 at 02:19 PM

I dream of a Libertines/Flaming Sideburns tour coasting through Minneapolis...

People are now saying the band is close to splitting or something, the co singer/guitarist/song writer Pete Doherty didn't join the tour bus for some resceduled (sp) european tour dates and was replaced by someone else!

There are some members of the Electric 6 looking for work, I hear. Maybe they could work something out.

poobs - 7-16-2003 at 10:16 AM

Nice one, Riff..:D

Oh..And I went to the Slim's website and can get my tix from there! Yay!:D

:Mark: - 8-1-2003 at 10:04 AM

You'll have to post how good the band were without Pete, have you heard the new single 'don't look back into the sun', its great!

Peace

draconian - 8-1-2003 at 10:06 AM

Mark I'm chasing after you! Check your U2Us.

:Mark: - 8-2-2003 at 07:38 AM

poobs - 8-3-2003 at 11:34 AM

tonight's the night! I'll post about the show the next time I can use a computer in a room that doesn't smell like dog piss..:duh:

draconian - 8-3-2003 at 01:33 PM

At least you finally found a place. Let us know what they were like, sans-Pete. We're seeing them tomorrow at the El Rey.

poobs - 8-5-2003 at 11:45 AM

So what did you think, Drac? I thought they sounded awesome..It was a great show..The only thing that bothers me about some bands is that they have no interaction with the audience! They barely said anything! Although, they did give some guy a beer and gave some lame chick some matches..But, all in all, a fun show..:D

And, yes I'm lame, but who is Pete anyways?:duh:

draconian - 8-5-2003 at 01:57 PM

Remember the guy at Coachella who wore the denim jacket throughout their set, even though it was sweltering? The original guitar player. He was the voice on most of their recordings, but I heard they were going back to the studio and re-recording everything as Pete's been booted. Drinking and stealing and all sorts of debauched behavior.

They were pretty good last night, anyway - Carl sounded like he was ready to be the main frontman, but I have to admit, I like Pete's vocals a lot better. They took a lot of breaks in between songs to recover, understandable since they play everything at breakneck pace! The drummer is unreasonably talented, I think he keeps everything together.

poobs - 8-6-2003 at 10:37 AM

Yep..I remember that guy..And I knew that the voice was different from the album! And now I know why! So was that a new guitar player? He was adorable.. :yes:

draconian - 8-6-2003 at 01:04 PM

I thought they were getting Dave Milone from the band Ours, but from what I have heard this guy was a guitar tech of theirs.
