Britpop : Time For Reevaluation?

Some great music was made, some good music was made, some average music was made and some shit music was made. Britpop didn't exist. The end.

do not want

Alongside bands, the festival will also see the debut of ‘Britpop Classical’ – using a full orchestra along with a band and special guest vocalists for orchestral renditions of Britpop anthems. Vocalists announced so far include The Farm’s Peter Hooton, Republica’s Saffron and Heaven 17’s Glenn Gregory.

they should just let Glenn Gregory do the whole thing imo

imagining some Third Policemanesque version of Hell where the protagonist has to spend eternity at this gig

I read "The Farm’s Peter Hooton" too fast and thought Hooton 3 Car were involved

I can't remember what Hooton 3 Car sounded like but this festival would be improved if every band on the lineup were replaced by Hooton 3 Car

(even the dance tent is a bit too Rubbish 90s MOS Compilation though I'd go and see the Terrys. No, not Terris)

wtf has Jazzie B done since the boring track on the '89 Soul II Soul album that everyone used to skip past? Omg he's an OBE these days, truly dred-ful.

it is nearly an insoluble urban cookie collective xxp

& MORE ACTS STILL TO BE ANNOUNCED

What a depressing list...

there are always more acts still to be announced in the endless circles of Hell

Man, this is a researchers dream. You couldn't get a demographic this distinct all together in one place if you tried. If ever you wanted to conduct a nuclear test, or see how the plague's been hanging about for centuries, this is the time and place.

I can't remember what Hooton 3 Car sounded like

Kinda like a poppier Leatherface iirc.

I'd also go and watch the Terrys. Brandon Block made me lol, while I was at university some guy in my hall of residence had booked him to DJ somewhere and he didn't turn up, so the guy who booked him started a rumour he'd died and there was some minor controversy around it.

The amount of drugs he used to take, I'm amazed he's made it to 2018 tbh

there's a thought

In 1996 his lifestyle began to catch up with him and he was diagnosed with tuberculosis after visiting India the year before. He was also addicted to cocaine and was forced to withdraw from DJing for six months. There were even rumours of his death after hoax postings on the Internet.

That'll be it

didn't he go to ibiza one year as a fat man and finish the summer as a very thin man, having basically eaten nothing but drugs for months?

you have to take your hat off to the greats

Thank god he didn't go there a thin man

yes, what a tragedy that would have been

ITT: ILM whines about Britpop also-rans. Again.

Ballad of a fat man

fuck turrican has us bang to rights

fuckfuckfuck

he's got our number alright

One of these acts is responsible for two of the greatest British singles of the last thirty years - though I’m sure there are more enjoyable scenarios for seeing N-Trance available.

I saw K-Klass live once, literally can't remember anything about the experience to comment. oh..

Yeah I mean for all I know they blast out the occasional decent tune at edl marches but

they were supporting 808 State and MC Tunes!

N-Trance are supporting Natalie Imburglia on her UK tour next month!

stopping in the dance tents would be the only viable option here obv but there's a more viable option

y'know, i thought long and hard before i posted. "not another Britpop thread," i thought. "Just K pushing the same old buttons, no need for the umpteenth pile-on," i thought. "Let people enjoy what they like," I thought. "I'm sure this doesn't represent the sum total of what Britpop gave to the culture," i thought. "it's just tedious whining about these also-rans who are totally different to all the great things that Britpop brought into the world," i thought.

then i had a couple of rums and a morning bopping around in the shower to Iron Maiden and fuck it, here i am.

ITT: ILM whines about EDL marches. Again

these are EDL also-rans tho

the Brandon Block story alone made it a pretty great thread revive tbh

i used to have this thing about Gaz Coombes
i used to play him every blue moons
god bless blue moons
god bless Gaz Coombes

The South; supposedly ex members of The Beautiful South but.. anyone?

Alison Wheeler (Vocals), Gaz Birtles (Vocals), Phil Barton (Guitars), Steve Nutter (Bass), Dave Anderson (Drums), Karl Brown (Percussion), Gareth John (Trumpet), Su Robinson (Sax) and Andy Price (Keys).

When The Beautiful South split in 2007, some members of the band didn’t feel ready to hang up their microphones or instruments just yet…
The South feature former members of The Beautiful South including singer Alison Wheeler and lifelong sax player Gaz Birtles.
Since original singer Dave Hemingway left the group earlier this year, Gaz has now moved across to vocal duties. They play the songs made famous by The Beautiful South and bring back the full flavour and excitement with the nine piece live band.

Come on! Let’s Carry On… Regardless!

i know that Gaz too, he's a good bloke

I skipped Turrican B's Groove, it's a bit of a dud.

scratch that, i think he just looks like a lad i know
