[kj] OT: IDLES

[Carlos Fandango]

I've got tickets for one of the D.C. shows, it's good to see an angry young(er) band in my opinion

Just seen they'll be over your way in May (Friday 10 May, Brooklyn Steel, NY), Alex. With me in April, so will get to see them sooner than I thought. I might have stopped calling them The Idles by then but doubt it ..lol

Lovin' The Idles and Fontaines D.C. Also lovin' the new Sleaford Mods album, Eton Alive. Caught Sleafords live a few weeks back and cracking gig, will catch the other two live hopefully during the summer. Had not heard any of the authenticity stuff on The Idles, but sod that lark, not like we're 15 and give a shit about such things anymore ...lol

And yes, Trump, like all other politicians are shit, from walls to Brexit, all set to divide, party politics and Joe Public suffers yet again.

I remember fleetingly discussing them with Rob Moss and some others back in November when I was over there, but what's everyone's take on the Bristol band, IDLES, whose latest album JOY AS AN ACT OF RESISTANCE even caught the attention of the Brit Awards (although they did not win -- probably for the best).

I realize there's a bit of backlash about their "authenticity" as working class (spearheaded by the Sleaford Mods and the Fat White Family), but as far as I'm concerned, they make great, bracing music and look like they put on a damn entertaining live show. But, again, results may vary.

What say you all?

Cheers,
-Alex in NYC

PS: Trump is shit.
