I’m rather jealous of the drummer. Would have loved to have been the one guy in a girl band when I was a younger musician. Instead we were boring, all-white, middle-class, northern blokes. In a group interview we were once asked by the interviewer with a decidedly feminist agenda why there were no women in the group. I answered “cos we dont know any” – and was nudged and kicked by my mates for making us look uncool. But sadly it was the truth.
@Vulpes_Vulpes 🙂 ooh – alternatively insert the name of just about any bunch of interchangeably dull blokes too cool for school. The OP video made me smile more than anything I’ve seen in ages….and made me want to come back here for the first time in ages. And I’m looking forward to seeing them later this year…
superb
Always enjoy a band able to take the rise out of themselves
Who loves the sun?
A sunny enough tune, lyrically not so much.
I liked The Regrettes, by the way, and also like Shiva’s Quintessence – not heard of either before, but will check out.
The Regrettes video (are they still called videos?) reminded me of this:
…. which then lead me on to this… In The Sun!
Determinedly mediocre.
AWTS
The video in the OP is beautiful. They are so young, so thin and so gorgeous. So delighted with life.
We were all like that once.
Speak for yourself.
You mean, you still are?
Ok, we’ll go with that…

A perfect sunny Sunday morning song
The Regrettes: a much better looking Arctic Monkeys with a better sense of humour and a lot more to say.
