[Larry! Gogan!]

Did anyone see that thing on ntl last night about some band called fairuza. was it fictional like batchelors walk or were they for real?

 

[admin]

they're a real band alright

 

[fansap]

Have a look at 'Irish Unsigned'...
They are one of those bands I think?

Does anyone remember a rockumentary series that was on channel four about 5-6 years ago. It was about an indie band from London trying to get a record deal. And they played at reading festival after the programmes aired.

Can anyone remember the name of the band?

They sounded kind of like a band called Kingmaker.

The program was "The next big thing", and featured two different artists on their rise to stardom. the band you're thinking of was called FMB. They never revealed what it stood for, though nobody really cared. They gathered a bit of a following locally, and were featured in the NME, but faded quickly due to being shite. I remember one song went "That was such a, such a James thing to do"... The other artist was Leona Naess, related to diana ross, I think.

Why do I still know this and remember little of the 10 years of German I learned in school / college... hmmmm...

I've seen a few home made things on that channel.. last night's was one of the ones from "DCU TV 2002".

My impression is that it must be quite easy to get something broadcasted with them. (ATTENTION DOCUMENTARY MAKERS?).

I mean, it's a channel eopl flick by just as much as MYV, no?


they also have been showing this REALLY dodgey crime drama late at night....really strange.

Is this just your notorious "creative" spelling Derek or does any of this actually mean something?
