The Wombats - Let's Dance to Joy Division - Live SXSW 2007

[FeederForLife]

The picture for this is awesome, Matthew Murphy with the ultimate death stare. It's the kind of stare for when you hasn't slept in 3 days, gave birth to twins, fought off an alien invasion and then someone asks you to do the dishes.

[96marzie]

saw them yesterday in australia!!! <3 THE WOMBATS!

[rockstarvanny]

that thumbnail is scary as shit

[prettytrash9]

Saw them yesterday in Romania. They made a great show <3

[bitchenhitchen]

Got to be one of the worst songs ever written.

[HiIAmAlexD]

I can't believe they've played SXSW and I didn't know who they were until this year. Oct 30th will be legendary when they come back. fuuuuuuck.

[pickles565]

The Wombats are awesome. I will always love The Wombats. They are paying tribute, maybe even a little bit of a piss take, but they're doing it RESPECTFULLY. They haven't just come out and started singing "Joy Division, ya miserable gits, cheer up" or whatever. Some people need to calm the fuck down and listen to some other songs before slamming such an awesome band!

[hanghoodiescum]

want to hear a proper fresh liverpool band check out / the rose / keep on callin / been gigging for 1 month now its in my channel enjoy and leave a comment thanx

[dontstopmii]

just saying...i liked this song when it was first released back in 2008...

[dramaticteaspoon]

wow, ethusiasm. hot, sweaty ethusiasm - awesome to see.

[MrCliffybiro]

@dramaticteaspoon WOW YOURE SO COOL I WANT TO BE YOU. Oh, wait a second, it really doesn't matter when you start liking a band, if you like them it's valid, stop clinging to that feeling of superiority that you seem to have over this.

[dramaticteaspoon]

@MrCliffybiro ease up! they appear to really be into their music, and i said that was a good thing. why exactly did you feel the need to pick a fight?

[imaspacerwoman]

ian turns in his grave...

[normalkid07]

What the hell happend to the crowd??? Are they dead???

[aoffor12]

Holy shit, if i was there they wouldn't be able to keep me off the stage

[dirtmerchant1980]

Oh snap, i was just saying they sound like Joy Division. I guess not by accident.

[20LiamScholes09]

@dirtmerchant1980 they sound nothing at all like joy division

[dirtmerchant1980]

@20LiamScholes09 says you

[20LiamScholes09]

@dirtmerchant1980 Yeah says me, have you actually ever listened to joy division?

[MSHYPERPANTS]

love this song!

[aaaaaaaa3aaaaaa]

[a1tjw]

Drummers having a eppy 1:13

[AcmeBoi143]

@a1tjw The lead singer of Joy Divison Had epilepsy and danced like he was having a seizure every show. Perfect tribute ;)

[gogolplex74]

[Hagean]

[Kthxbaiwut]

Joy Division > Everything Else > Wombats.

[kendrikMN]

@Kthxbaiwut poor form

[richipizz]

great.wombats are my favourite post punk band

[rockonbass]

@richipizz They aren't post punk.

[richipizz]

@richipizz oh,sorry. I'm totally an idiot, but you RELAX,take it easy;)

[dioct14]

these guys are fucking awsome band but they really have to improve in the live performance its okay but it could be better

[Rockinrub]

This is the beginning, they have improved so much. And I dont like that camera

[teegemagic]

@dioct14 I saw them live in fall 08 and they were one of the best live acts I've seen, this video is horrid for pretty much everyone involved...

[SIHELL]

Joy Division shouldn't be associated with this.

[Chanlon95]

@SIHELL joy division sucks compared 2 the wombats

[SIHELL]

@Chanlon95 you are so right!

[kadvid]

Great song, great band, and great band they are paying tribute to.

[sentechi]

@kadvid they wrote the song

[sentechi]

@Joe2493lol ur stupid they did

[SKIZINGDRUG]

nasty... ian would rip all your heads off

[ggriggles]

if it sucks it shouldnt have the name JOY DIVISION IN IT YOU POO'S! WAKE UP

[JaiHopkins]

Guy's a good song writer, shame this band has become synonymous with wannabe indie cretinism.

[xxSabixxLuvsxx]

[melvinceltic]

[zaskar14]

[headrushinthebush]

The Wombats are nothing like Joy Division. Just because they talk about them in their song doesnt mean anything. they are nothing similar at all.

[Axelocker]

wow this doesent sound anything like joy divison.

joy divison was a really good band.

practise your ears please

[poleyarnarr]

they're not meant to be like joy division though - there is no comparison because their sound is completely different.

The refference to joy division is because they had a song called 'love will tear us apart' which is what the song is about

[Gosu117]

most cheerful song ever me an my Girl always listen to this together

[DjTonino]

i love this song! its so great!! make me happy :D i dont know why

[GEETARS3]

3 words Joy Division rip off so are the kooks,the klaxons,bloc party,the kills,mgmt,the presets and cut copy they all suck ian curtis is rotting in his grave. Even the maggots in his grave are pissed of

[kerasa2735]

You are right. But I like it...

[ste4test]

I thought thats how music Evolves.

[Dom85859]

Joy Division rip off? How did you work that one out?

[Reags99]

how is 'joy division rip off' three words?

[PissFishMusic]

it's not a rip off, they just take inspiration from them

[soOlari]

they rooock :D

[cucumbermelon498]

ahhh! they're sooo amazing!! :D

[grungegirl92]

wombats rocks!

[MMamstenrade]

love it if I`d like to be there

[mil180]

is there a video for this song'??

[rune6134]

[memento1818]

bocal's guitar is so good !!

i think they are the most beautiful band in 08 !!!

[esorciccio]

i'm back from a wombats gig tonight in bologna, italy

live they're simply amazing...great show, great sound...maybe too much talk between each song...but it has been a really great night

thanks wombats...

[jesse9283]

they sound really good live. I hate when you think youve found a good band and then hear them live and their terrible.

[123451a]

going to see them with all me mates at the echo arena cant wait:D

[bramschreiber]

i think ian would be pissed if he heard this!

[regispek]

damn they look so bad live :\ I hope it's only the crowd this time

[yumyumjellyfishRYU]

[Fantastck]

[jestercom]

[Streetlightmanifest0]

[kipAnime]

[jesse9283]

[haydenisace]

[betterbackurshitup]

thank you so very much for posting this! it turned out great. what kind of camera did you use?

[HighlyContrasted]

wankers.

there not fit to polish JD and Ian Curtis's boots.

Fucking copy cats , thats all they are.

wankers

[sucktastic]

Amen. Wankers is right.

[windowlickinboy]

[23wishesfromsexy]

OMG!

I'm so bloody excited! ^^)

[crystallic85]

This sonK makes mAY HAPPEY!!! :D:D

[TheRob1993]

THEY KICK ASS !!!!!

[Fantastck]

What's wrong with the crowd? YOU'RE SEEING THE WOMBATS!! God I would kill to see them again!

[creamwhiteroom22]

Its South By. They are probably playing at 3 in the morning and everyones has been running of beer and about 2 hours of sleep for a week. But its a hell of a fest.

[jmarc]

I was actually there --- you can't tell but there's only about 12 people in the crowd, and it was like 7pm. But I discovered them at this show and love them now.

Foals played after this with the same size crowd. It was so awesome.

[billium12]

i have a question cuz i eventually wanna go to south by south west

is there liek age limits for getting into bars??? do u need to be 21 to see most of the performances?

[jmarc]

You have to be 21 for most of the shows since they're all in bars, so it probably wouldn't be a good event if you're underage.

[laverneluvsu]

love this songg. but the live performance.... =/

[Antothecomposer]

maybe the audio engineer instead of filming the gig should concentrate on keeping the vocal levels down.

[ElnAlDigital]

SXSW is great, but the audio tech guys are useless !!

[Bajamoso]

THe song is soo great:) The wombats is going to Norway the 24th og June:) I wanna see them

[thaysen1990]

i dont like the birith accent, the song is great though

[scooterride33]

so great!

[baattenburg]

this crowd are a bit shite lyk. come back to newcastle! and dont be ill this time, actually play the gig plz :/

[Miles1239]

Hehe his face is really red :P

Love this song!! XD

[labsrats10]

well when your up there you get so sweety and hot

[Miles1239]

Yeah I know I'd be in a pool of my sweat

[labsrats10]

its good that someone understands!!!!:)!!!!

[josh1728]

turn up the fucking volume!!! is sxsw in a hospital ward or what!

[sparkyarr]

lol

[crispywesty]

why would emoxdate have such negative thumb down thingy for posting about joy division being the best band ever? thats not really an offencive comment is it?

[XxxcolormyworldxX]

best song ever.

it makes me feel so happy every time i listen to it! :]

[pudekcufsisiht]

I actually dance to Joy Divsion sometimes, but not to Love Will Tear Us Apart, to "Glass" maybe.

[JODQ11]

i enjoy dancing to "Disorder"

i find it very dancable

:P

[pudekcufsisiht]

Disorder is good, but I don't like it that much, though. Dancable? It sure is.

What about "As You Said"? It's pretty New Orderish.

[LadystardustDK]

Ohhh! The frontman is fucking cuuuute:O

I like the music too(:

If you guys are going to visit Denmark, give me a call;)<3

[lookimbored]

AMEN! Personally I love Dan meself l-)

[emoxdate]

Joy Division is the greatest band ever!!!!

[lookimbored]

You mean THIS band? These are The Wombats

[Fantastck]

Yeah but there is a band called 'Joy Division'

[lookimbored]

I know

[jomamamymama]

great song.................they're so red

[SaraInter]

Great song and great live version!!!

[rubbish4000]

love how the drummer does that cool bit where it's rigid that riff bit idk how to explain it lol but it's awesome :d

[abligool]

why do people who do not like the wombats even watch their videos?

is it really necessary to put down artists/bands just cos you dont like them? no, not really.

ha.

[joshavblue7]

can you spell generic? they have clearly been following that formula, the one dropping them into the 'indie' genre, selling what everyone seems to lap up these days no matter how similar it sounds to everything else.

Bands like this are saturating 'indie' music.

[edwardpeach]

Terrible. I assume the Texans were bemused by this teenage garage band. Who gave them passports? Can they really enjoy playing this shit?

[HendrixSongshed]

No to be honest it was quite well recieved by the texans

and they have been pretty well recieved by many other as well

so you can fuck off

[justme12312]

love the way you ansewred him..=]

i can

[justme12312]

**i can't wait they will get to israel!!

[stefanoman]

learn to play a instrument yourself?

[topgear008]

joy division are a band u stupid numnut

[JOeLUCKw]

lol

just fell in love with the drummer..:) looks soo funny!

[g04763]

SceneKid : "Oh my god this is sooo cool man, dude u got another spliff, i love the wombats, who are joy division anyway"

[skagtrendyyy]

he always looks so red

[audi74158]

fucking shit GibsonMusican

[rockingmuse]

Is that sunburn on his face?

Great song ^^

[davejaydisco]

I think I loikes this lot....

[trenchtowndotsk]

The Wombats will be performing on Pohoda 2008 - biggest central european open air festival. I can't wait to see them there. I enjoy lyrics and non linear voice of vocalist and don't like curly hair too :-P

[TheHate0]

shit crowd

[Undeadsurgeon]

these guys are awesome, maybe not the best live but fuckin check out how they actually wanted you to hear it, as opposed to judging some shitty video camera shit.

seriously..? who sounds good through a cheap ass video camera.

[ruiner2501]

dam straight ++

[15pointswgaf]

arnt people supposed to be enjoying themselves? haha gays

[Olly1948]

the lyrics r AMAZING

[mtbuknick]

It's a fun, catchy song but i agree he sings badly

[matvilla57]

It aint that bad. There's bigger bands with crapper vocalists. Aint really an issue!

(Good tune)

[mtbuknick]

yeah true

[GibsonMusician]

I agree that his voice isn't an amazing singer's voie, but it suits the music.

PS, he sounds alot better in the studio xD

[Knill33]

he sings badly

[ruiner2501]

and that makes it soo very cool :)

[lynnwich]

darker side of town...norris green.
