filbertway Posted 28 March 2008 Posted 28 March 2008 Gutted, could see it happening though when people said they were too like the arctic monkeys. Gutted.. I've lost my cheshire cat smile now.
Joe. Posted 28 March 2008 Posted 28 March 2008 Well Lo and Behold it's happened and there's nothing we can do about it.
filbertway Posted 28 March 2008 Posted 28 March 2008 Well Lo and Behold it's happened and there's nothing we can do about it. I suppose we'll just look back and say what you could've won.
Trumpet Posted 28 March 2008 Author Posted 28 March 2008 I suppose we'll just look back and say what you could've won. Hmm, maybe next time. Actually, What about next time?
Bert Posted 28 March 2008 Posted 28 March 2008 I rest my case. Ha! Blatantly joking, because I've never heard them play!
Joe. Posted 28 March 2008 Posted 28 March 2008 Ha!Blatantly joking, because I've never heard them play! No I was more referring to purpleronnie's comment before yours!
Bert Posted 28 March 2008 Posted 28 March 2008 No I was more referring to purpleronnie's comment before yours! How come you quoted me then?
Joe. Posted 28 March 2008 Posted 28 March 2008 How come you quoted me then? Cos I thought you were referring to that post too!
AoWW Posted 29 March 2008 Posted 29 March 2008 How come you quoted me then? Cos I thought you were referring to that post too! Pfft, sort it out guys. Bloomin' amateurs!
General Smuts Posted 29 March 2008 Posted 29 March 2008 Im still upset that Larrikin Love split. This has brought back terrible memories.
Wils Posted 29 March 2008 Posted 29 March 2008 Oh how your minds not on it, pass me a book and ill read you a sonnet.
Lovejoy Posted 30 March 2008 Posted 30 March 2008 They we're a great artic monkey's tribute act. Not many people know this but apparently the Arctics took inspiration from Milburn playing the local circuit before either band got, as opposed to the other way around. I will miss them!
Joe. Posted 4 April 2008 Posted 4 April 2008 Two unreleased songs now available. http://www.msplinks.com/MDFodHRwOi8vd3d3Lm...WF0aG9tZS5tcDM= http://www.msplinks.com/MDFodHRwOi8vd3d3Lm...3RsaW5lLm1wMw== Right click and save target as/save link as. EDIT: This link may not actually work. If you have Milburn's Myspace the links are on a recently posted bulletin.
filbertway Posted 18 June 2008 Posted 18 June 2008 Good news, 3 of them have made a new band called the backhanded compliments http://profile.myspace.com/index.cfm?fusea...endid=372337834
Lillehamring Posted 19 June 2008 Posted 19 June 2008 whilst i am not particularly familiar with this lot, it comes as no surprise, and is clearly something that is happening across the industry. bands like this are snapped up by lazy a&r, based on sounding like the succesful bands of the day, given no real budget and left to fend for themselves, thus failing to reach the mass audiences of say james blunt or lily allen, and when the fad of their particular genre moves on, when the fans realise they are poor clones of better bands from previous decades, the bands panic and rebrand themselves, as we have seen here, clinging to whats left of their deals and the contacts they have made, sadly tho they will probably just get stuck playing crappy gigs and myspace pages, blissfully hoping to recapture the random success they achieved earlier from 'sounding like someone else'. RIP milburn? RIP music industry... it's a 5hit buisness...

RIP milburn? RIP music industry... it's a 5hit buisness... That was there problem they sounded too much like the Arctic Monkeys so they stood no chance in the mian stream media, NME, radio 1 etc... In my opinion they wrote better songs than Arctic Monkeys, but obviously got in there too late, either way I'm glad they've reformed and taken the same kind of sound into the new band
