A fantastic band. Seems Josh Pearson has lost the run of himself:

I think they were actually in Ireland touring the Texas Jerusalem crossroads album when she died, remember jay ahern or dave fanning or someone mentioning it on the radio...

aye, they were due to play dublin castle with some shite bands. they were in studio doing some recording when news of the death arrived. they promptly recorded a version of 'amazing grace', take from that what you will, but its not at all surprising given their regular subject matter.
last i heard, josh pearson had recorded a solo record with the other two.
sad that yer man is selling his axe. i've only ever sold one guitar and i regret it to this day.

I can't get it out of my head when listening to that album that it sounds kinda like some really dodgy Irish 1980's indie band. Is it the vocals? Some of the guitars have that pseudo-epic-reverby-Edge feel to them don't they?? Anyone else see this ..... or it it just me ...

The guitars remind me of MBV or perhaps the Gun Club. I think the production on that album is fantastic, but I remember alot of people saying how they thought it was horrible. One mans bacon etc.

 

[Alan Remorse]

so are they doing anything anymore as a band? the website only seems to have info on the solo career, but i'd be interested in hearing that too. i can understand why they wouldnt, what happened to their bass player doesnt even bear thinking about.

i dunno about that dodgy eighties connection... they're one of the few bands with what i like to call the "explosions in the sky touch" which is that they have a totally unique power to completely envelop you while you're listening to them... that sounds crazy but everytime i listen to that record i get this unnnamable feeling

Here Hugh, guitars sound a bit U2 in places, but no more that say... the likes of Omelette does... ahem...
But yer man DOES sound a lot like Martin McCann from Sack in places...
Martins a great singer buh

[Goodbye]

[Alan Remorse]

[wound]

does anyone know the name of a track by LTE with the line"...and texas is the reason"
in it.
i saw the video for it a while back and was quite impressed.

 

[Alan Remorse]

thats a song called These Are The DAys, from their Texas Jerusalem Crossroads album... which is absolutely amazing

"a new sort of experience is taking over; cos we're simply the best band in the whole damn land... and texas is the reason"

 

[Unclealo]

Yehaw!

Here, was it Big Country you were thinking of? Although they are Scottish.
