An indie band who were popular in the 1990s have delighted fans by mostly leaving out songs from their latest album as part of their current setlist.
The two new songs which made it into the live set are a lead single which is ok if you play it on repeat long enough and an utterly forgettable acoustic follow up.
The band, who had a few singles limp into the top 40 in the mid 90s, are set to play a series of small venues and obscure music festivals before disappearing into the music industry abyss again.
Unless Oasis ask them to be a support act.
Lead singer, William Simons said, “We appreciate the fact that our audience don't give an arse about new material. We know if we just played new stuff, then nobody would show up to our gigs and we'd be back selling mobile phones.
“So we give them what they want: a bunch of 90s jangly guitar riffs that makes them forget they’re middle-aged and have to do the school run in the morning.”
Dave Barnes, who has been a fan since the band's britpop heyday stated, “It's a nightmare when they play the new stuff.
“Not only because it's rubbish, but because the queue for the toilets suddenly trebles in length.
“To be honest though, it's comforting they aren't pushing musical boundaries because it's much easier for us fans to live comfortably in the past.”
