Last night i saw the strokes live in cambridge, and had a rather phat time. We all got in at 4pm and got totally squiffy thanks to some nice new skunk purchased and then waltzed into the gig, a wee bit merry for one of the best and most intense gigs ever. The first band that played i think were called longview/longway who were tres bien. Sort of a more serious flamming lips, and a bit of my vitriol in there too. The second support band were called Stereo total, this mad french duo. Almost an electronic mouldy peaches, a mad blend of dance, rock, electronic and then all put into one. Then after a huge wait (45min+) the restless and packed crowd (note very smelly at this point) final got thier demands. With this a huge surge, knocking the wind out of a load of 12 year old mosh virgins. The entire venue wanted to be a the front, squeezing everyone up to the rail and making this one of the most intense gigs ever. The band themselves were on top form. Most from the album, along with a healthy number of new songs dispelling fears about lack of material. The band put everything in with the trademark drunken sluring of lead man Julian Casablancas. Overall, great gig, great night. Sorry if this seems a little out of place in an aphex twin message board. |

i like what i've heard of the Strokes, dont worry about posting about them. Most of us on here have a wide range of musical tastes. |
||||||||

|
|
Yeah Strokes are pretty good. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
The album was fun for five days, that was it for me... but they need to exist |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|
|
It's retro remakes but it's got more life than most manufactured shit that is being released at the moment. |
||||||||

|
ohhhh i'd like to see the strokes. their european CD cover is a fav of mine. they are a fun group....i'm sure i'd be dancing all over the place =0) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
hmm i liek the strokes also, but i've heard that thier live shows really suck ass. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i agree with jivverdicker..i think it's good that a band like them is alive and doing well in the mainstream, it's a needed change that comes once in awhile |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I like 'em. They're just good old fun. Nothing too serious and nothing original. But definitly a good shot in the arm of mainstream music. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
well it beats nickelback, that's for sure |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
netlon, i think most things do :) heh |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i dunno, ever heard of shakira? :) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
nickleback, i like them!!! joking! i hate them almost as much as limp biscuit and the Travis tribute band Coldplay. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
hehhe, it's sad, cuz shakira used to be a lot more respectful, the crossover to english is a bit silly though |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Shakira is cool because of her ass and her belly dancing + her pussy isn't like a wizards sleeve. Nikelback are just shit |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
well, at least she's making money |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I thought Travis were an early Radiohead tribute band? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Same producer, but................. Travis are silly. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
agree, she's making loads of money.. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i dont like Travis either, "bland" would be a good word to describe them. I could think of others but i havent got time to list them all : ) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
the cure, for example. eh, just kidding mate! :) |
||||||||
|
|

|
|

||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
The cure + depeche mode are the shit, both from Essex England. Aphex asked Mute if he could have the Masters for 'Speak & Spell' so he could do some mixes... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
the CURE kick MUCH ass.......OMG....i loved seeing them live. they are playing in europe this summer.....i'm seriously considering going over there just to see them.....ehehehe =0) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
the cure did a nice job pretending to break up, now they're pretty hot again. i only have bloodflowers, which is decent. |
||||||||
|

|
|

|
|

||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|

There arn't just good Canadian Bands there are Great Canadian bands: Godspeed you Black Emporer, Skinny Puppy, Celine Dion, Neil Young,... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|

||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i'm gonna have to check out godspeed, lots of ppl here rant about them |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
THE STROKES are a pretty bloody good band, you should also check the band "White Stripes" if you have the time. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
The white stripes are amazing. Though I wouldn't mind a bit of an evolution in their sound. I have 3 CD's by them and they are all the same. As long as they don't pull an AC/DC and release the same album over 20 discs (or however many they've made) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
hehehe.....no no.....ok i apologize i must have my GODSPEED =) i have all their CD's now btw....got the last two recently....ehehehe.......=) dionne...ehhehe.....that is pretty funny =) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i'd really like to see them one day, havent been a fan for a long time, but i think i'll be a fan for life prolly :) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Skinny Puppy are cool. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|

||||||||
|

What was cambridge like? I presume you were at the corn exchange. Q |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
