The Zutons - Soon to become big?

I saw them play on Friday and they were extremely professional but also had a lot of energy and magic about them. Their set was very good considering they have only one studio album. The only down side to them is they are scousers

(Just kidding I love scouers)

 

Do you want another copy of the album then? I was disappointed by "Who killed.........."

 

Totally off topic here - but,AmazingTrade - your avatar?
Is that the cover from New order,Blue Monday perchance?

 

How did you guess? But yes its the 12" Blue Monday cover. I choose it because it probably the most famous New Order sleeve plus the fact it is a brilliant song.

 

Hmm...looks like a 5.25" floppy disk to me

Michael.

 

So,Michael,'tell me now how do I feel '

 

I thought they were from the Wirral (or is that The Coral?)- so not exactly scousers - cutest sax player I ever saw though

 

Hehe I wonder why you might get that idea from

 

They had a scouse accent but then anything west of Warrington sounds scouse to me

Yeah that saxophone player is cute, much sexier than any members of Madness.

 

"Soon to become big?"

They've not been doing too bad for themselves for a while now!

One of my fav "indie" bands of recent times.

Do a search of the forums. They've been mentioned a few times.

 

I will do, what I mean't by big is number one albums etc. I would like to see them commericaly at the same level as the Doves so you can see them in smaller venues but people know who you're talking about.

The sad thing is since the Manchester gig I attend on Friday the band have got the flu and have had to cancel the rest of the tour. I only heared this second hand though so I am not sure how accurate it is.

 

I think that's accurate about them cancelling some tour dates. I'm on the mailing list and think I recieved an email a few days ago about it. Only read the title and deleted it though.

Have you heard the album? It's a good mix of nice catchy tunes that seem to fly by. Well worth a listen.

Seen them interviewed a few times and they seem like nice people too.
