Is it just me or does this sound like it's in a lower key than the album version? Also the drummer looks...um, unusual with the way he hits the hi-hat, and I don't know what Richard was thinking ending the song with that singing at 4:48...XD Don't get me wrong, though, I like Hard-Fi and I'm going to see them in September...should be good :-D
just to set the argument straight, this proves that no matter what shit provincial town you're from, you will always get a group of lads that have had it hanging around in bus shelters and decide to start a band. hard fi are just typical of any "real" band, social poverty and most of all boredom have ignited genius, morrisey, ian brown..........course lately arctic monkeys! you can't teach this stuff in schools.
Was wondering where Kai was and then read that this was before he got his visa. This band rock gh7432, I don't think anyone can call them manufactured...shall I buy you a dictionary cause their far from it!
Could not agree more ws2978, hard-fi are the exact opposite of a manufactured band. They met each other randomly, and they write and produce albums based entirely from their own experiences. The whole "get out of staines" thing is true for anyone living in two bit towns, ie "we're from here so we can say its shit" but theyre still proud of their hometown and thats why they still live there, bottom line is they rock!
in a recent interview the lead singer boasts how even though they have made it he still lives in the same house in staines.. yet at the start of this song he declares this is about getting out of staines... Hardfi are nothing more than manufactured pop muppets who cant sing live for shit...... I'm finished with them for good....
gh7432 You take his words too literally. I have lived my whole life in Staines, to me this song is about getting out of the monotony of this town (& any boring suburban town) & seeing the world (something I am doing soon) but it doesn't mean you can't still have a home here (I always will). I think they have done exactly that by becoming a success & touring the world: they got out of Staines! & how can you call a band manufactured when they wrote & produced their entire first album themselves?
nah. this was a gig from the US. Kai couldn't get a visa approved because of some outstanding conviction for possession of weed or something so they had to get a stand-in. Richard ended up wearing a 'Kai Stephens is innocent' t-shirt for most of their US tour :-)
Hard-Fi is made to play small gigs. I saw some performances on Summer Festivals and I was completely dissapointed. But look at this performance... awesome!
Hope they keep playing like this, only for the real fans, when the new cd comes out.

I almost freaked when I saw this video! I was at that show! It was great! I didn't even know that Hard-Fi was playing until my Brother and I walked by and saw the sign! Thatnks for whoever posted this...you made my year!
It was really bad ass, I'm a huge fan of HardFi but at the time I had just started liking them. We were walking around Seattle (My Brother and I) and just popped into Easy Street for fun...and we got to see this show. It was amazing!
