Lillehamring Posted 31 August 2007 Posted 31 August 2007 ok... first week of october we have the cribs and the pidgeon detectives playing gigs in oslo... didn't think much of either on brief listens i have had, but prepared to give benefit of the doubt live, but not sure i can manage to attend both... given that i like the beach boys and happy jangly early 90s indie (amongst other things, you've probably seen the crap i listen to), which band do you think would be the best bet...? or equally is one a standout live act...? don't base it on which is you're favourite, but which you think i should 'do'.... thanks in advance.
Fez of Mahrez Posted 31 August 2007 Posted 31 August 2007 The Cribs by a country mile for both my taste and for being closer to yours but neither of them are really jangly Beach Boys type stuff.
Cheese Me Posted 31 August 2007 Posted 31 August 2007 Pigeon Detectives for me. A good album and great live, I'm going to go and see them again in a couple of months.
Flynny Posted 31 August 2007 Posted 31 August 2007 Pigeon Detectives for me. THATS NOT WHAT HE ASKED. GOD! (sorry)
Nod.E Posted 1 September 2007 Posted 1 September 2007 THATS NOT WHAT HE ASKED.GOD! (sorry) thats what i thought. Well personally i like the pigeon detectives but im not sure what you like. The pigeons are like a cross of the kaiser cheifs and the fratellis just to give you an idea?
Lillehamring Posted 1 September 2007 Author Posted 1 September 2007 The Cribs by a country mile for both my taste and for being closer to yours but neither of them are really jangly Beach Boys type stuff. Cribs are better live. but most importantly.... The pigeons are like a cross of the kaiser cheifs and the fratellis just to give you an idea? So, looks like the cribs it is - unless i'm feeling particularly indulgent, then i might give both a whirl... are you all jealous... nah.
BigGibbo Posted 2 September 2007 Posted 2 September 2007 Cribs are an average band if ever ive seen one pidgeon detectives are much better. Ive seen them both live & went away from the cribs thinking they were sh!t altho it was nearly 2 years ago & they hadn't got big(ish)! But the pidgeons were awesome
