This is to complement the ‘Never heard them but, I know I won’t like them’ post,
The Independent today has a quiz about festivals. These bands are said to be playing, but are they true or false, and would you go see them?
Playing this summer are;
• Destiny Potato
• Klonk, You’re Dead
• Alan Sunderland and the False Hopes.
• Balls Deep
If Balls Deep are not real, I’m having that for my band.
I’d go see your band Steve.
Alan Sunderland and the False Hopes.
I’m picturing an over-enthusiastic bass player a la Alan Partridge and his air bass antics.
The Alan Sunderland one reminds me irresistibly of a *definitely* real band called Cliff Barnes & The Fear Of Winning, who were big in Germany in the late 80s. I never knowingly heard any of their catchily titled ditties (Nobody Has An Asshole Like A Cowboy; Ronnie And Nancy Fucking In The White House), but for that name alone I’d cut them a lot of slack.
Destiny Potato? I hear their lead singer has a chip on his shoulder.
