They're going to Sydney?! Wow they've become huge.. Welsh bands are amazing!

Saw them in London last year playing songs from their previous album, immense night.. hearing Hearts burst into fire live was orgasmic!

They were here in 2009 for a festival tour but I didn't go so my first time seeing them. Not sure if they were here before 2009 though.

And all the best bands come to Sydney. We're a truly international city. Like London, but on the other side of the world and really far away from everywhere important...and we're not the capital of the country.

Anyone remember this classic from the early 80's by The Boomtown Rats, really surprised it didn't do better in the charts than it did:-

Bloody hell Sam, you need some educating boy, if you think Rick Astley is any cop...

I've listened to a bit of King Crimson in the last couple of months.

Really like "In the Court of The Crimson King" and "21st Century Schizoid Man".

One for RaM.... :-

What artists you into Sam?

Saw mystic valley band about a year ago and they're good. You listen to monsters of folk?

Yeah I went to Cardiff to see Monsters of Folk, was waiting to get the train back to London as the band strolled into the station, all genuine guys, Conor was suprisingly nice.

I'm a huge Bright Eyes fan!

Conor Oberst should be releasing the last ever Bright Eyes album later this year/early 2011 - be good to see them live again.

I listened to some Bright Eyes on Youtube - I didn't want to say that it was shit before I had even listened to it

It was shit

Nah, not really shit, but just too passive and inward. I don't know the band, but I think that they must have been played a few times in these teen American/regular dramas to convey lost/estranged love, or lost/strange people.

I would never recommend them to anyone as they're certainly an acquired taste!

He hasn't got a great voice, the music isn't polished at all, and it's all a little depressing - but I like it!

Radiohead are pretty fantastic too, by the way

You see, I like Radiohead...

Maybe Bright Eyes are just too folksy, and not depressing enough for me

I've just set up a youtube channel for the art venue I'm working for:
