seems like the reviewer just didn't get what this is all about... But anyway, that was not a cool show. I mean, excerpt for some friends, ther was virtually no audience... We"ll, anyway.

Even though the review was bitchy you still got a good score. I guess the reviewer would have preferred it if you'd been James fucking Blunt.
The review site is called 'ChartAttack' which seems to indicate they have a preference for shite mainstream chart music and looking through their previous reviews (Supergrass, The Arctic Monkeys, Belle and Sebbastian, The Cardigans) it looks like they are used to reviewing bland, sensible 4-piece acts which appeal to conformist students...

I'm gonna think about being more James Bluntish sometimes ha ha ha

Wow.
Jackass alert!
He must like boring folk music where people don't do anything on stage.

[vx69]

well actually there was a lot of boring folk music the same night, maybe we were quite out of place ha ha

[feedthelie]

Hahahah.. overflow from the folk crowd then??
Was he expecting perhaps.. Jewel?
Whoopsies :D

73/100 c'est pas si mal, et en effet le reviewer a pas capté votre "trip". :-/

Ah well, you still had a good rate, the critic just didn't want originality! ;) I'm sorry he's such an ass about everything you do differently, heh, some people are like that! He must envy you guys. ;)

One thing though... I never got the "losing the pants" thing either, maybe it's a French thing! :p

You guys are great, don't doubt it! :)

[vx69]

actually I just don't understand why we tend to lose pants ha ha... First time was probably an accident then we just couldn't help it ha ha ha

maybe it is a bad review, but let everybody knows that your show is different, original, fresh, aggressive, and unforgetable !

[vx69]

well maybe not so bad a review then ha ha
