Playing tonight with Jester at the Dogs Bollix in Newton.

Go if you like that nice pleasant pop-rock sound.

that could be fun

something something something one night night stand.......

I expected something more malicious from you hollis, in regards to these boys. Never mind. They're ok... but yes their lyrics can use some work.

I won't be going (Jester? erghh! God no!) but hey other people might go and end up liking them.

parts of that song sound that one and only elastica song

What? Connection?

i guess so.never took much notice of them

and as fpr jame Reid 'producing' it
god give me strength

Well I for one hate the Feelers and think James Reid seems like an absolute cocksucker but if it helps them gain popularity by saying that, good on them.

I mean, if you were in a struggling New Zealand band and a more well known musician showed an interest in helping you out, wouldn't you be flattered and keen to take up an offer of producing?

If I was still in a band yes, I'd rather a more admirable musician in my book would help me out, and I'd probably say no to James Reid, but I still would consider it quite heavily.

sure

I must regress a little
struggling?
I wouldn't call stoods a struggling band
choosing drumsticks over a loaf of bread is struggling

What pleasure do people get making modern rock?

you are busted Ben

took you long enough. I laid plenty of bait. And I have no idea what you're talking about

Martha...your a bit hard on James R arn't you. Do you know him ?

I guess you must be qualified to make comment, since your last album sold 5 x Platinum.

and...How can you like Augustino??? and hate the feelers.

I have also asked myself that question.

But I really don't think you need tell seel 60000 records to hate a band or a front guy.

sell

Au contrare Limiter

I can see why people like the Feelers. I can see why their albums go 5 x platinum. They have a broad appeal, however one that I do not like. I didn't attack anyone that likes them. Notice I said James Reid SEEMS like a cocksucker? I've seen him round, met him more than once, but don't know him that well to make a proper judgement, but hey I know enough.

He's done an ok job on the Stoods single I suppose as well.

The differences between Augustino and the feelers are much greater than they used to be. I don't love Augustino I like a few of their songs. I think they have potential, they just need to work on a few things.

I am entitled to my own opinion, after all these are FORUMS are they not? And I don't think I have to sell 50,000+ records to be qualified to have my own train of thought now, do I?

Not at all martha, everyone has opinions. But the word "Hate" is a bit harsh. To not like someones music is fine, but to attack a persons character ?? I know some people's music is terrible, there are some bands I dont like at all.

But all of them Im sure (and I remind myself of this all the time) spend a lot of time putting these songs together, Putting a band together, keeping it together and doing it for the love of it. ( most of them any way) all musicians who put themselfs in the open should be admired and supported.

//all musicians who put themselfs in the open should be admired and supported.

I wholeheartedly agree Limiter.

Perhaps I was wrong in attacking James Reid - for this I apologise.

I respect and appreciate whatever musicians have to offer. I personally of course don't like every band and every type of music there is out there, but respect that other people do like these kind of bands and they are entitled to - and of course, I can most of the time see why a certain artist appeals. This is why I don't tell Feelers and Rubicon fans they are stupid/full of shit etc etc like some people do in these Forums when they don't like a band. I was merely stating that I didn't like them, and thought it respectful that I kept it out of the Feelers forum.

So yeah, whoever is making music out there, from U2 to some garage outfit having a jam - big ups, fully appreciate your contribution to the music world. Not saying I have to like what you're doing but at least you're giving it a go.

Most bands seem arrogant and up them selfs in public, but when you get to know them, most are probably really nice people.....well...Im sure their mums like them.. :-)

he is not

could be ??

...

he is not

i don't make statements really without having a bit of backup info. in this case i do. i shouldn't have said it in the forum but yeah, its widely known what a tosser james reid is anyway.

Anyway I think its a little unfair that we are talking so much about the Feelers when its the Stoods forum.

So I would like to let people know that Stood's first single (yes, produced by James Reid of the Feelers) is on the CD on the cover of the RIU magazine.

Oh yeah and they're website is pretty good too.

it is not

*sigh*

get over it hollis.

go be nice to the bands that you DO like in their forums.

killjoy

which, by the way, should have been shihads name.Hands Down.

indeed. killjoy would have been great.

Go and see the STOODS and make up your own minds everyone!

agreed Nick Killjoy should definatley have been Shihads new name. I still can't rid my addiction to that beautifully large record!!!

we agree

There is a band in Australia called the killjoys.
but I think they should get over it

hollis... so Sean from Augustino DOES know who you are?

Interesting.

Did you get da bash as he promised?

he obviously thinks he does

do you see a fight?

No.

I think this website's general consensus is that your real name is Nick though. Not saying I think that - I don't really care.

Nice to hear Get Up at BDO
Go Larkins Go!!!!!

was it you or Buckton that sat in on that record?

read the sleeve mate

hehehehe I wouldn't bash anyone Martha. That was all Tyson talk y' know......hahaha sorry 'bout that.

Wades got my copy. I recall Buckton sharing stories though. OI Wade just in case you read this bring my baby back!!

how does wade get that stubble
I've been trying for years

Hes never clean shaved.

Hes never got a full beard.

Thats a VERY good question hollis.

hahahahahahha It's an interesting arrangement

I'm wondering what SeanClarke thinks of Stoods, since we ARE in the Stoods forum.

what about Simon le Bon

What about him?

I had the hots for him when I was a kid. As did every girl in their mid 20s to mid 30s, I would assume.

and Sting?
he's hot I guess
but stupid music
