yeah and a wash. and maybe stop eating burgers between songs. I walked out of one of their gigs in whelans a few years back after 2 songs. couldn't deal with looking at that dude. he was acting like a horrible Jim Morrison/Bono love child.

your so hard to please dude.

 

[therealjohnny]

He really needs to get his act together

 

[the departed]

ive said it once and ill say it twice. ROL have no soul.

 

[avernus]

your so hard to please dude.

my default position was "this is shit" and all they had to do was play some good music and keep it real for me to not think that. but when some fat mess is rolling around the stage on song 1 like some garbage angel and commanding the audience to like dance or some shit while he breathlessly wails into the mic, forget it pal. I'm outta there.

That guy should be Ireland's Eurovision entry. It's a "no-brainer"

They still drive flash cars around D4 and pay for their couscous and lima beans in bijou salad bars with platinum Mastercards. They're still living the dream in other words. I'm pretty sure they still have a record deal and are currently figuring out something that rhymes with 'Tacoma Beach'...it's just out of reach.

good for them. writing beach songs and making big cash for it is the dream. hanging around D4 though. I dunno.

Sticking to their roots-punk rock innit.

Westlife in Converse runners.

I think they had all that before the record deal. It's standard kit for any decent D4 head.
Last I heard they were finishing the third album....the question remains will it finish them!?

All this talk of Watercress reminds me. Was Phil the drummer a large gentleman with hair + beard? If so I worked with him, really sound guy. Bad idea to try matching him in a tequila drinking competition (I'm small).

Swampshack?
They became Turn but I much preferred the Swampshack EP.

Did anyone mention Joyrider?
