Kenickie - People We Want [Live At The Reading Festival]

[TheGalwayFarmer]

Lauren Laverne sacrificed a degree in Medieval Studies for this!

[LozzaWayne]

Omfg, Lauren Laverne looks so different!

[mepjohnson]

How 'grubby' does Lauren look! Talk about TV makeovers.

[davedagreat69]

It would've been so nice if the guitarist could tune her guitar, ok not "so nice" but a slight improvement.

[artwel123]

@davedagreat69 but then it wouldn't match the out of tune vocals..

[10tonhamster]

I've loved the single for years, but boy is that a flat performance. They really don't look like they want to be there.

[devilskitchen08]

@w00oo00oot hahahahahahahaaha talk sense kenickie awesome

[devilskitchen08]

kenickie were fantastic and remain so .lauren has so much talent not just in performing but presenting on tv and bein a DJ on 6music and writing fuckin bestselllers.if you like kenickie check my channel.damn you kenickie haters and big up da fans ......devilskitchen08

[Lessthanmeofficial]

This is so awful.

[robboeh]

I thought Kenickie would be absolute shite but they aint to bad.

[helstontvx]

The Culture show.....

[kingsizeblueslim]

lauren laverne.........you are gorgeous....and now technically your a milf.....

[meelee85]

KENICKIE REUNION PLEEEEEEEEEEASE

[CharlieChaplin12345]

her dad is my uni lecturer, absolute legend

[nyu6697]

Who is he exactly? What's his name?

[cobweb1989]

i love this song. wish i was my age then.

[Jamesbharris2]

How old are you? I was about 15 when this came out. I can't remember it being that amazing.

[cobweb1989]

im 20, and its all about personal taste i guess.

[Jamesbharris2]

No, I mean everything - not just this song! Kenickie are lovely.

[wedrinkmountaindew]

put a bit more effort into it girl...i'm falling asleep here

[shine350]

sexy girl and sexy guitar

[ryanexpress34]

I remember interviewing them for a start up mag in the US back when they were first coming out....I thought they had a lot of potential...

[kingsizeblueslim]

@ryanexpress34 i suppose it is easy to chat shit on youtube....

[ryanexpress34]

@kingsizeblueslim wth is that supposed to mean? How was I "chat" shitting on youtube? I thought the band had a lot of potential and was hoping they would have been bigger and made it in both the UK and US more. How is that badmouthing them?

[keltyk]

Lauren is 100 times sexier now she's in her 30s and presenting quite intellectual TV shows. Married though, drat!

[cobweb1989]

this is so 90's lol

[mhk77]

Lauren Laverne is fit, but she really needs to cheer up a bit here. Makes it sound like a bit of a dirge........

[trallala]

Have... have you actually listened to the lyrics at all? It's not exactly a cheery tune.

[netgemiplayer]

more a fashion accessory and a love of the limelight than a real love of the music?

[666rocko]

turn the fuckin guitars up

[wedrinkmountaindew]

cute

[Randyh9]

well it's nice

to be loved by someone

this love life

is taking too long

[imnotababyfreshmeat1]

rabbits AREN'T Dangerous!!

[Leisurecruise]

I remember hearing kenickie on a live 'in concert' type of thing on radio 1 - years ago. It absoloutely blew me away!! The power and energy - amazing and ALL the girls singing backing and stuff.

This footage, whilst clearly NOT their best oerformance, is amazing archive stuff as there is so little of this fantastic bands material about. LL was/is a damn good songwriter and is wasted in Broadcasting IMO....Oh well

[richeyjh]

Jesus, I'm not suprised the rest of the band failed in any post band project. The guitars are damn ameuter and farty. It's straight from an angsty indiekid's bedroom. Lauren was clearly carrying the band. Still it's that rawness and basicness that gives this era its sound and edge, very much like grungey sounding girl bands like Hole or L7. I did and still love Kenickie. This song is excellent, the sombre yet storytelling build up into something trying to sum up a million people's feelings..

[therealkenickie]

Lauren looks fucking sick as anything doesn't she? Was this just before the split?

[Barwee]

Where's Punka? Post Punka!

[graham6419]

This video has more shots of Johnny X than it does of Marie...what's up with that?

[redmen01]

Lauren will forever be a hero! She has my <3!!

[DAVEtheMAGICIAN]

their drummer has a fucking massive head

[DonBello]

hahahah

[bluesunshine2008]

Not sure why Lauren seemed gloomy that day, it looked packed. Always good to see them playing live. So fresh at that point in time - girl-rock with Les Pauls and Flying Vs ;-) .

[StripySox]

Those drunken nights in the Telegraph and Cumberland Arms seem like only yesterday, Gofton Tall and Gofton Small.....

[LoneConformist]

Not a great live performance but this is a GREAT song. This should have been a famous "Don't Look Back in Anger" kind of anthem.

[bradforever]

No it shouldn't it's not a great song. Great songs have a life in spite of the songwriter. They are like money waiting to be spent, great bands become great because of the songs hence cover versions. Once a band become fused with a great song they own it even if they didn't write it . A case in point: 'Aerosmith' with 'don't want to miss a thing' they didn't write it.

[toerag]

she's really not very in tune. im no hater, its just obvious

[devilskitchen08]

year was 1998 .1o years woah

[themilksnatcher]

I was there!!!!!!!!!

[hungoverdrawn]

Not 1998. By 1998 Johnny X had become Pete X and moved up front to assume lead guitar duties from Marie.

[benisright]

wasnt 1998...it was 1997! Played after fountains of wayne on the day that suede headlined.

[MarcusBowen]

Yeah, and Feeder played that stage the same day after Radish opened it.

[devilskitchen08]

kenickie split on oct 21st at londons astoria .they really didnt want to know no more waz there .sad to c it end but waz glad for the memories.those were the days.marie waz my fave

[hungoverdrawn]

15th October 1998 - not that the date is memorable for me or anything. ;)

[oclandestin]

There's zero energy in this. Funny to see Laverne looking like a moody teen though.

[AlexTube78]

I was at this gig!

[MissAlabaster]

Is it just me or does Laverne look really down through this? Where's the banter and the silly giggles with the other girls? Still, it is AMAZING to see them at their best, thanks for putting this up!

[SQ33K]

I see your point, though look at LL's eyebrows/facial expressions about 02:20 mins. To me, this shows she's doing the same stuff as she would do in a small club (King Tut's?), or she know's she's on TV? Otherwise, why do it. Agree that this is classic archive.

[moorje]

I think this was shortly before they split up :-(

[hungoverdrawn]

Nope. Johnny X still on drums means this was Summer of 1997, they split up in October 1998.

[SQ33K]

Incredible! Can't ever recall seeing them play this song live.

+ Laverne looks stunning.

[devilskitchen08]

fantastic was there at the time kenickie helped me through a lot of shit in the late 90s they were lovely girls when i met them thanks 4 the memories i still love this band we need them back

[megapixel77]

The way she changes the lyrics slightly breaks my heart seen as they split not long after this. Best band EVER (and I'd never seen this before, so thanks for posting it.x)

[jools182]

Wish they would reform

[mbvglider]

holy crap. i've never seen this before.

[fooflyz]

I miss these so much.

[ryanblahblah666]

Dude, you're a genius. MORE!!!!

[THEDWARVESMUSTDIE]

very cool! never saw this before
