I made the mistake of going to see them on the NME Tour. They were gash; the second worst band of the night. Although in fairness I've not heard any of their recorded stuff. 'It's not my name' was f***ing terrible live though.
Can I just say; if anyone is thinking of going to one of those NME gigs; listen to the bands first. I didn't, and was forced to sit through these guys, Does It Offend You, Yeah? (yes it does because it's f***ing rubbish) and Joleen and the Jing Jang Jong (if they had an original song/thought or any degree of musicianship they'd be dangerous). The only saving grace was the Cribs, and I only thought they were average.

That is a pretty spot on assessment of the evening. BRS's bird is lovely though.

Haha I am friends with a couple of the guys in Pull Tiger Tail! The music is pretty average though, they used to be in a much better band.
Rumble Strips are OK, I saw them supporting The Young Knives a few years ago and they were good, I'm not a great fan of the album though. Not heard any of The Little Ones, and Blood Red Shoes are ace.

Funnily enough Les I've been seriously considering doing a post about the Ting Tings as I like them musically, having a fit young lady is just a bonus.

Munkfish is well out of order. Pull Tiger Tail were utter pants though.
no probs everyone's entitled to their opinion!
In fairness from what I've seen of the line-ups most of the NME gigs are pretty good. Think I just picked a particularly bad one. Wish I'd seen Klaxons and CSS a couple of years ago.
Talentless couple o' cnuts.
Style over substance.
I would, however, wand her...

The Wombats rock.... Patricia The Stripper, class indie/Teen angst !
Some good asymetrical rock too as in The Futureheads.....
Mind you if you want class look up Harrisons .....

Very impressed with the Futureheads especially 'the beggining of the twist' I recommend if you've not already seen them live then get your arse along to the Hives. Greatest live band i've ever seen! (so far)

Didn't like DIOY,Y? I'm afraid; a couple of the riffs were decent, but it was all just a bit repetitive. However, I did buy the Cribs album (after the gig) and it is ace. I think the album is better than they were live, but that's just me; it could also be because now I know the songs and I didn't then.
I've not heard anything by the Wombats but I suspect that I won't like it, so I'll probably follow your advice!
