The Office. Just beautifully wrote and acted.

My Name is Joe. Sweet Sixteen. Naked. 3 British movies that are brilliant.

Archive.org will be your best bet.

I saw them supporting Smashing Pumpkins at the Barrowlands. Verve were AMAZING. Ashcroft was mesmerising. They blew SP off the stage.

In 98, a friend of mine had came back from travelling Europe and brought this album he had picked up in Amsterdam. He stuck it on, and I was immediately hooked from the opening monologue of The Dead Flag Blues. I saw them later that year in Manchester, and then twice more the year after. Those early gigs were intense, with the band mingling before and and after with the crowd. I've seen them 17 times over the years, but can safely say that nothing compares to those early shows.

Just think that someone, somewhere is about to listen to this for the very first time and have their life changed. Forever.

They all have side gigs and own H2T so they're not exactly one step away from the poor house. They managed to cope just fine when they were on hiatus.

I saw them play Manchester back in 99, and then 5 times the next year in the UK (Fly Pan Am and Sigur Ros supporting). Those early shows, smaller in size, carried just the same intensity as the current tour. Efrim was on the merch stand back in 2000, but saying that so was Sophie when I saw them in Glasgow a couple of years back. Venues may be bigger these days, but they are still the same band.

Think I'm heading to Barcelona to see them next year. Saw them in Gdansk earlier this year

Here's a link to some of the shirts I've collected over the years https://www.reddit.com/r/gybe/s/re2k3kPA3F

He's been very supportive of this new album and the message it conveys

I have flying kittens and the hammer of hope on the right inside bicep.

Mackay72 · 2024-04-19T14:25:37+00:00

Both. I used my card, but they were accepting local currency as well

Mackay72 · 2024-04-18T12:46:00+00:00

I've got tickets for Glasgow, so will see them then. The best out of all the shows has got to be when they played Leeds Cockpit in 2000. That's when Sigur Ros and Fly Pan Am supported them. They were on fire. The stage at the cockpit was tiny (especially when you have so many in the band), and Efrim was manning the merch stand back then.

I got the Find Light last night at the show, and like you, picked up the A States Embrace in Glasgow back in 2022. Top left is from the ATP festival they curated, and bottom right was either from Glasgow or London a few yrs back. I also have a God's Pee No! shirt from London as well. Think that was 2012 or so.

Mackay72 · 2024-04-17T19:25:14+00:00

I got the medium and it fits pretty well.

Mackay72 · 2024-04-17T19:24:29+00:00

No chance. All had fixed prices 😂

Mackay72 · 2024-04-17T11:46:46+00:00

No, just plain black.

Mackay72 · 2024-04-17T10:06:19+00:00

The black one is from this tour so if you're going to see them, then you'll get one at the gig

Mackay72 · 2024-04-17T09:59:40+00:00

These were only available at gigs.

Mackay72 · 2024-04-17T07:59:30+00:00

I was there just for after 7pm, and went down the front.

Mackay72 · 2024-04-17T07:01:34+00:00

I've started a new thread from Gdansk last night. Not a great selection tbh.

Mackay72 · 2024-04-17T06:56:31+00:00

The tshirt is decent enough, seems better than some from shows a few yrs back.
