I'm in complete agreement with conorMcGrace! If you listen to the recorded song, most importantly in the verse, there is an especially essential riff that complements both the vocal line and the guitar perfectly. And why is it not being played? Because the guitar player is flailing around on stage with a tambourine. That would really piss me off if I saw them live. Put the tambourine on the backing track if it's so essential, at least it will be consistent.
what the fuck does that tambourine player think he's doing? it's not the right music to have an excuse for a person like that in the band like bez from the happy mondays,
The bass is on an Ipod along with some backing track. As for the tambourine playing it's essential, he's the second guitarist, and there is some recorded tambourine on the studio version.
haha, ok. yeah it was to you. don't get me wrong, they have tunes, but there is no way anyone can describe the tambourine player as "essential". if he's the second guitarist why isn't he playing guitar, or the bass line, or maybe even the keyboard line?
well i think it says something when "novelty value" is the explanation for the tambourine player. they should be a proper band with proper members playing proper instruments which actually feature importantly in the track.
The lead singer is sort of like the hideous unintended result of Andy Bell from Erasure, Cliff Richard and Morrissey being accidentally put in the matter transporter from The Fly. Not good. And the tambourine guy is just a wank. If the NME is right and this is truly the brightest hope for 2010 then we are more fucked than i thought we were.
i agree somewhat that they do seem too affected, they lack the charm that morrissey had when he danced, mr tam man just looks silly almost to the point of discrediting them as a credible band, which their music has done but live performances are nullifying
but, for me, the music will always be first concern, so as longs the music is this brilliant i would see them in a heartbeat, given the chance, may have to close my eyes though
Just amazing!

The guy on tamborine is still learning how to play guitar so give him some slack, they are good!

I don't know when this song was released but I have a feeling this song and "Let's go surfing" will be the songs of Summer '09 :)
