what, you never saw anyone do the old putting goldfish in champagne glasses and knocking them over on the crowd schtick?

three years pass...

I played a show opening for the Horrors and we had bought a dozen or so goldfish. The plan was that the live goldfish would be in champagne glasses at the front of the stage, and that during the show we would knock them into the audience. Lead singer of the Horrors heard about this and pitched a fit and the club owner wouldn't let us do it. Several members of our band were even appearing on a split 7" with him, and he still wouldn't let us go through with that plan.

Of course, the goldfish all ended up in the toilet. A more dignified way to go?

that's a cracking old incriminating post, i say as someone with a completely spotless record mind haha

didn't like that big closing track of the new horrors album which everyone was crazy about. they'll never top 'sea within a sea' i think

Skying was the last album of theirs I really bonded with. The last two (including the latest one) are just so meh to me.

he doesn't need to be racist about it though. (Austin), Monday, 16 October 2017 01:32 (six years ago) link

cat's eyes are better than horrors, but ignored it seems

Still love this. Lost my way with them after the last album. They’ve been gone a while it seems now..

there were songs over the past few that i liked, but skying remains easily my favorite.

(skimming their most recent release, 2 eps from 2021, isn't a very charming experience btw)

(i mean, i guess it sounds like the first album so if you felt like primary colours and skying were downgrades, hey this more recent stuff might be your thing. not mine tho!)

There were those two EPs in 2021 that were so off I thought it was a Soulseek fake leak
