Yes, I saw them. So did Mooro and (possibly against her will) Lixi McLixi AKA Raston Warrior Robot.
No, there was not any Denim. It was very loud.

the working mens club show was great. the set was a bit short and lawrence's voice could have been higher in the mix. it was all pretty together. the band were oddly reminiscent of earl brutus in their loud blokey glam stompiness. but earl brutus with lawrence singing, which is fine by me. i never saw denim mind. let alone felt.

Lawrence talks to Girls.
― fit and working again, Wednesday, 9 December 2009 20:07 (fourteen years ago) link
Oh my god! I've been obsessed with Lawrence for about 14 years but I've never heard him be interviewed before. He's so awkward and sweet, it just made me love him even more.
One day someone will write about a book about his life and he will finally get the recognition he deserves.
― Kitchen Person, Wednesday, 9 December 2009 22:52 (fourteen years ago) link
You should read the book 'Song Man' by Will Hodgkinson.
― fit and working again, Thursday, 10 December 2009 18:25 (fourteen years ago) link
We're currently working on a Felt/Lawrence fanzine, due out early this spring - the release will be announced on our blog at http://foxtrotecholimatango.blogspot.com.
At the moment contents include essays, memoirs (reliable and unreliable), portraits of Lawrence, unanswered emails, previously unseen photographs, a Felt family tree, tour posters and other more oblique offerings!

xpost, the lawrence parts of the 'song man' book are pretty depressing. he's sort of a wreck in there, attending NA meetings, on the verge of eviction, still dreaming about writing his #1 hit though. it was written in 2007 so maybe he's in a better situation now.
(oddly enough i just mentioned that book on a different thread i just started up)

Foxtrot, I have some photos that I took at Felt's last ever show at Burberry's in Birmingham that I can mail you or share online if yr interested. They used to be on Rui's old Felt tribute site but that doesn't seem to be getting updated these days - good on you for keeping the torches burning.
― Bill A, Saturday, 2 January 2010 22:09 (fourteen years ago) link
Hey Bill, nice to meet you. That sounds well exciting! Maybe you could sent them to us?Would be highly aprecciated, of course.

At one particular lowpoint in the 90s, Lawrence was hired by McGee to be Creation's receptionist. The only problem was that he didn't know how to work the phones, and whenever a call needed to be transferred, he had to get up from this desk, walk to whoever the call was for and ask them to come back and put the call through to their own phone (at least, that's what a Creation staffer of the time told me). The arrangement didn't last long.

Just to let you know that we have the fanzine now.For more information, you might go tohttp://foxtrotecholimatango.blogspot.com/Also, Rui's Felt Tribute Site has been relaunched:http://felt-tribute.webs.com/default.htmExciting times, isn't it!
― foxtrotecholimatango, Tuesday, 8 June 2010 08:35 (thirteen years ago) link
It looks cool and that's a pretty impressive list of contributors. Congrats. Good to see on Rui's site that the new Go-Kart Mozart album is still scheduled for this year!

Is this Lawrence Of Belgravia film ever going to come out?
― PaulTMA, Tuesday, 8 June 2010 16:45 (thirteen years ago) link
This year apparently.
― everything, Tuesday, 8 June 2010 16:56 (thirteen years ago) link
They've been saying that since at least 2008.
― PaulTMA, Tuesday, 8 June 2010 17:06 (thirteen years ago) link
if i'm not in it, then that fanzine has no credibility. i'm his number one fan!
― scott seward, Tuesday, 8 June 2010 17:54 (thirteen years ago) link
i will pick up the fanzine, looks awes.
this is the best interview with lawrence online i reckon: http://felt.planetaclix.pt/Articles/interview.htm
goes into quite a lot of detail, lawrence talks about every felt release.
― max arrrrrgh, Tuesday, 8 June 2010 18:17 (thirteen years ago) link
That was from Record Collector originally, and is indeed one of the most straight-forward interviews he's done.
― fit and working again, Tuesday, 8 June 2010 18:53 (thirteen years ago) link
yeah, posted online i mean
― max arrrrrgh, Tuesday, 8 June 2010 21:51 (thirteen years ago) link
Great to see there's some interest!The fanzine features interviews with Lawrence too.One from 1985 by Chris Heath, another one from 2005 by Alistair Fitchett. Both seriously long and revealing.
― foxtrotecholimatango, Wednesday, 9 June 2010 10:38 (thirteen years ago) link
ne more deets on the film release?
i put it in my top five films of 2008 in an important film magazine
― doop snobby snobb (history mayne), Wednesday, 9 June 2010 10:47 (thirteen years ago) link
saw it on the night of the US electch iirc
was that the full film or the work-in-progress version?
the fanzine looks excellent - will def be placing an order.
― Bill A, Wednesday, 9 June 2010 12:25 (thirteen years ago) link
just a w.i.p.
― doop snobby snobb (history mayne), Wednesday, 9 June 2010 12:28 (thirteen years ago) link
I can't believe it's been five years since he's put anything else out. I heard rumours of a new Go-Kart album but this was four years ago. Will Denim Take Over ever see release? Also didn't he once mention a solo album influenced by Lou Reed's Berlin?
I could just do with some new material from him right now.
