Can't remember which set of mates it was now. The Ballymun lads or the Clondalkin lads.

The Rakes had a cool live show on that first album. The lead singer was this weird mixture of Jarvis Cocker and Ian Curtis, a really good frontman actually. On one song the entire stage was pitch dark except a rectangular strip of light across his eyes, it was a really cool effect.
They came back and played here again on their third album and Morrissey turned up at the gig! He left after about 3 songs though. I think they were falling apart at that point, only played for about 40 minutes. It was a really intense show, like they were on the verge of something amazing, but instead they split up a few weeks later.
I always thought it was a terrible band name!its a good bandname. i'll give them that.
Tapes n' Tapes, and (sort of ish) The Pipettes are the only 2 of those I remember liking,
Tapes And Tapes did a twitter search for themselves once and retweeted me saying I didn't like their second record.
My general position is that London hasn't produced a good band since The Clash, or on days I'm in a bad mood, The Kinks.
Is this well known? I've never heard it til just now.
