actually only one member of hijak is in the so called we could be astronauts if you enjoyed the piano, harmonica and vocal elements of this band hijak oscar check out Fox North Coalition as front man Tim Fox And pianist and general genius Carl Hetherington play major roles in bringing you sludgy swampy dirty blues rock to your ears.
Did this band ever get singed ? in an ideal world they should be on tour with the howling bells , primus with Tom Waits stepping in for guest vocals every now and then . but as we live in a crappy version of the matrix they would be stuck with that fat girl with no original thoughts, a teenage comeover and headlined by a madona sing-alike dressed in spam ... , Life in this time line is fricking depressing !
@rensbitterhalf Unfortunately Hijak Oscar disbanded late last year as a result of creative differences. However, some members did reground in a band called "We Could Be Astronauts"
If these guys never get signed then it's because of their egos rather than their musical ability. From what I've seen great music but a complete waste of space with no ambition. They're the sort of band that thinks it's selling out to get signed and they're too cool for the system. Stop pratting about and get signed or are they another Brian Jonestown Massacre where everyone linked to them BRMC and Dandy Warhols go onto greatness and they do fuck all
If you like this you should try and get hold of an album by "Uncle John and Whitelock". Musically similar, both good though. The now de-funked UJ&WL have partially reassembled and called themselves "Tut Vou Vouz" Banger.
Man, it's nice to see everyone appreciating the Hijak as they should; my mate Mark is the bassist and I've been telling him that his band are light-years ahead of the stuff in the charts AND the oh-so-not-at-all 'alternative' scene.
The song was Deathletter Blues by Sonhouse...And i cant beleive that on the show they said they could not find a recording of it as it is so obscure...bollox i got it on cd in fucking hmv and to top that off the white stripes (one of the worlds biggest blues/rock band done a cover of it on their second album...Jesus these people wind me up...and him.
Truly wicked band! they were the only truely honest, raw and talented band on that show.they have a very bright future i reckon! :) best of luck guys!
look at their faces!?!!? and they didnt sign them right from the start and tell all of the other mincers to go back to their basements and knock about their cliche crappy punk shit
this band rules and KCUF anyone who supports the those cockjockey revenue cunts
I don't actually watch the show but I saw these when they supported Shed 7 at UEA and they really were brilliant. Now started watching the show to see them.
You tw*ts who are slagging off the female singer really have no idea about this band. Go and see them when they're touring the country in February, then come and tell us all that she's rubbish.
to hell with the competition.. These guys are the best to come out in a long long while. This track itself is enough to take them through to winning the competition. The dude s got a wicked voice. Cant wait to see u live !! Rock on.
Bloody brilliant! They are way past the others. If they don't get a recording contract then there's something very very wrong with music in this country!
She is'nt a back up singer for one, she also writes the songs. I think you should go see them before you pass judgement, having a girl singer is what adds to their individuality.
lol ok m8 ur right i shouldn't have pass judgement unless i've seen them, have u and anyway all i was saying is from wat i've seen of her she hasn't seem all that great
really, really like this band, reminds me bit of jefferson airplane an captain beefheart. hope these guys win - great sound like a real band i'd buy album
Wonderbus is another band featuring ex Hijak as is the band Von Bartha! and Mark Wynn does his own stuff x
