Redbourn Festival
by Chloe Yates
So after somehow managing 8 Feeder gigs in ’06 I was resigned to ‘07 being a Feeder-free year for me. Fortunately for me rumours of inaccessible-to-me festival appearances in first Wales and then Scotland were then followed by news of Redbourn 2007 at Herts County showground on August 11th. And even more fortunately I realised said gig was fairly near to where fellow pro-boarder Kev lives… and he has a car. A plan was formed, and what started off as a trip for me and Kev grew into a FFS Proboarders Meet-up, with 8 of us confirmed staying in the same Travelodge near Kev, plus a few other faces also due to join us on the day. It would also mark the first Feeder experience for pro-boarders Chris and ‘usually-based-in-Dubai’ Katie.
Friday 10th August was spent travelling down to the Travelodge to meet up with Chris, Rach, Stacey, Ant, Katie, Clare and Andy-Staffs. First mishap of the weekend was when I arrived at Hanger Lane tube station to discover there were 6 different exits leading to 8 different subways and I had no idea which one would take me to the Travelodge. Cue wandering around for 10 minutes or so before emergency phone call to Rach… “Can you come and find me please?” Never fear, your trusty tour reporter was found and lead safely there, whereupon piratey cakes were shared round (arrrrr). Friday evening, Stacey, Clare, Rach, Chris & I headed up into trendy Fulham to see up-and-coming rock band iMMa play at the Kings Head Pub. Stacey & I street-team for them and when they announced a London gig night before Redbourn it seemed perfect timing. They put on a fab set, full of energy and were mesmerising as ever live – check them out at www.immarock.com and www.myspace.com/immarock . If you’re missing Skunk Anansie, these guys may help fill the void ;) Had a quick chat with lead vocalist Erika afterwards and passed on some iMMa MuffiNs I’d made them – something to keep them going on the 4.30am start up to Scarborough the next day! Then it was back up to the Travelodge and hello to Andy-Staffs who’d arrived while we were out, complete with legendary Jon Lee Tattoo – please check out www.myspace.com/jonleetribute . Then it was off to catch our beauty sleep in preparation for Redbourn.
Saturday 11th August dawned bright and sunny. We all met up in the bar, dressed in specially made Redbourn 07 FFS T-shirts – massive thanks to Mr FFS himself in sorted those out for us - Marc they looked absolutely great. With the choice of ‘Tangerine Me’, Piratey ‘Argh Matey’ or ‘Grant & Mark & Taka & Dean’ designs spread out between the group of us, we ensured that the FFSers would be getting themselves noticed at the festival. We also gave the website a bit of a plug and in the absence of any official Redbourn merch, had people coming up to us all day asking where they could get such fab t-shirts – think MW’s onto something here for the future!
The sun shining, we settled ourselves down on the grass near the main stage with the aim of soaking up some rays and enjoying some good music… interrupted by the occasional water pistol fight! Apologies to anyone sat near us who got accidentally sprayed in our battles. We were also armed with Piratey FeederFanSite flags, a tangerine inflatable beach ball and paper ‘tangerines’ spelling out “Life’s Just A Piece Of Fruit”… yes I know Grant is never ever going to play tangerine ever again but we might as well have some fun winding him up about it!
First band on the main stage were Big Hand – an experimental/ska type band complete with top hats and tails, a singing drummer and a trumpeter. Despite the appearance of sound and technical issues that would end up blighting the entire day they put on an enjoyable show, despite it being rather early in the day and were a good laugh, perfect start.
Sadly the Redbourn organisers had failed to provide line-up information for the stages, and changed bands around last minute, meaning to an extent it was pot luck who you ended up seeing. Up next were Pull Tiger Tail, a last minute replacement for Tiny Dancers – who were due to play on the other stage - so was a tad confusing to say the least to have their replacement on the main stage, and 2 bands before their billing on the website had stated. Anyhow, they were pretty good, despite the random electronica moment or two. Hitchmo were on next, and I can’t actually remember anything about them now so that probably speaks volumes! After this, the fun really started (!) – according to my memory of the website stage line-ups, Ghosts, the main draw for me alongside Feeder, should’ve been on next. But they weren’t. With dodgy sound issues continuing, we got another 2 smallish bands. The Amber Plan and then The Raid. Note to the Amber Plan – stupidly high volume and lots of fuzz does not on its own = good music. My ears haven’t quite recovered yet. The Raid seemed to pull quite a crowd but I have to say I’d never heard of them, they were ok but didn’t really grip me at all, and ditto the advice regarding fuzz. Still while they were on there was the opportunity to see a few familiar faces and some new ones, great to meet FFSers Suzi and Amy for the first time, and to say hi again to Big Pete & Nance and then Mr B from the Official Board – he gave us all the goss from Loch Lomand the previous week. Speedboats to the stage and everything so I hear, are Feeder going a bit diva on us? :p
Following the Raid’s set, it was clear that not only was the main stage now running rather late (something to do with the sudden addition of 2 more bands better suited to the second stage perhaps?), but that technical problems had kicked in with full force. Ghosts were due on at 5pm, the Raid didn’t finish until 5.10pm, and then it took Ghosts technical crew over an hour to get their equipment working – at one point their roadie, trying in vain to get Si’s guitar set up was pleading with any “one of the 7 people at the sound desk give me some help please!” but it seemed those 7 people had better things to do than what I assume was their job. The words ‘Complete’ ‘Utter’ and ‘Shambles’ came to mind – the only bright spot the news that Ordinary Boys had been moved to the other stage (erm possibly due late running issues….?) saving me the horrible experience of being confronted with Preston’s’ face.
Once everyone had got their act together and Ghosts were actually able to perform, the guys put on a great set. It’s the third time I’ve seen them this year, one of my favourite new bands and they went down a storm. We got a couple of unexpected album tracks and plus cover version of the year in their take on Pussycat Doll’s’ Don’t Cha. Debut album ‘World Is Outside’ is out now and you can catch some of the tracks on www.myspace.com/ghostsuk or www.ghostsmusic.com . Even if you think you’ve never heard of them, you might find you recognise ‘Stay The Night’.
After Ghosts, my ears were demanding a bit of a break and my stomach food. So, leaving Katie, Kev, Ant & Andy in our prime spot, dean-side, second row, Clare, Stacey, Chris and I headed off to get crepes (yes they ARE proper festival food) and listen to Feeders’ Festival Support Band (aka Dirty Pretty Things) from afar. Third festival in a row I’ve seen DPT, each time they’ve been on before Feeder, and although I enjoy some of their songs, I’m not too fussed by them. They take their full hour set, finishing at 8.10pm. Feeder are billed as 9pm-10pm, with a “strict 10pm curfew”, there’s still The Automatic due to play, and the aforementioned technical issues have meant its taking each band a good 30 minutes to set everything up before playing. It’s blatantly clear that something has got to give.
We head back to the other guys in the crowd, worming our ways through to second row. The guys tell us that Grant had appeared at the side of the stage during DPT with baby Hana. As they tell us this, one of Feeder’s crew appear with Hana on the grass at the side of the stage to show her the crowd. Cue us girls going “awwwwwwwwwwwwww she has little pigtails” and all the guys rolling their eyes. Bless. The Automatic then rush on with Pennie declaring “It’s all f***ed up, we only have 20 minutes, don’t blame us, if you want to blame anyone, blame the organisers and blame f***ing Feeder”….. erm, hang on a minute there mate, I don’t think it’s Feeder’s fault the organisers cocked up the running time. Anyway, we get 20 minutes of very mental Automatic, Pennie jumping into the crowd and everything going bloody crazy for ‘Monster’. As a band they’re decent enough, it’s amusing just to watch Pennie go totally mental, but I don’t think there’s any need to start slagging other bands off. I found out afterwards that the Automatic had flown back from America just to play this gig, had arrived to be told by the promoter that they “only had 20 minutes because Feeder had demanded a whole hour or they won’t play.” Pennie clarified after that information had been wrong and apologised to Grant accordingly. Still, I don’t think The Automatic will be playing Redbourn again. That’s assuming it happens next year…
The Automatic finish at 8.55pm, stage-crew rush on and do a sterling job in obviously difficult circumstances, and Feeder are ready to come on stage at 9.15pm. The usual “Fee-Dah” chants are getting going, the piratey FFS flags are waving in anticipation and biggest cheer on the night when the band we’ve been waiting for finally get on. The guys, understandably, look pretty pissed off and as frustrated by all the delays as we all are. However, they launch straight into Feeling A Moment as if they’ve never been away and thank god, Mark is in a different t-shirt to the Tuxedo one. It’s probably too much to hope that he’s lost it though. (NB. There’s nothing specifically wrong with that top, except it must ming to high heaven after being worn so much. Maybe it’s fallen apart in the wash… let’s hope he does wash it…). Talking of Mark, the next track is his and his alone. It is, of course, the awesome Shatter. Never fails to give me tingles and Mr R is a joy to watch drumming to this. If you’ve never had the pleasure of seeing him drum this live, do yourself a favour and go watch the Redbourn clip of it on youtube, he goes absolutely mental but in a fantastic way – look out for the “Cooooome onn!” bit (oh the flags on the right… that’s me and Clare, you might also see the tangerine ball bouncing around) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9-QtKUQtWrQ
Shatter was followed by Come Back Around – another track Mark goes mental for, and bless him he, and the rest of the guys look completely knackered by the end of it. (9 months out taking its toll?). Grant then introduces “another from Comfort in Sound” and we all sing along to Just The Way I’m Feeling. Up next is that festival classic of tracks in good old Buck Rogers. Like a lot of people I’m pretty bored of hearing this now, but truth be told it is at its best in a festival setting. There’s the usual mega bounce. Grant then apologises for the set being short, explains there’s a 10 pm curfew, and the boo’s from us result in Mark gesturing very clearly, complete with drumstick pointing “It’s not us, it’s THE MAN!”. Grant dedicates the next track to The Automatic, it’s Pushing the Senses. It’s then straight into Lost & Found – complete with new intro and no hand claps! Which I’m a bit sad about, it denies Mark a bit of drummer/crowd interaction, and confused the hell out of me at first as I tried to work out what track they were playing! It goes down well though, loads of people around us know it, and I think it gets as good a response as Buck. “One from our first album” is up next – the cue for the FFSers to shout ‘tangerine’ but actually it was High, which means a good opportunity for some FFS flag waving. Grant: “what’s written on the flags?” looking nearer as I hold the end straight so he can read ‘Feeder Fan Site’. “Nice flags” is the response – made my day that did, as did the rock horns from Grant and Dean in our direction.
Running short of time, the guys wrap up with 7 Days in the Sun, and, naturally, Just A Day. A short but tight set, the guys themselves don’t disappoint, leaving to huge applause and giving us all thumbs up. It’s clear they had to drop at least 3 tracks - when the set lists were pasted to the stage floor before their set you could see 3 great black lines crossing through entries. The previous week they played Pilgrim Soul, Insomnia and Tumble & Fall (though not High), I’m happy we got High not T&F but disappointed may have missed Pilgrim Soul. Rumours also that Yesterday Went Too Soon was soundchecked make it all the more frustrating that their set was cut. (I WILL hear that live again one day). A finger has to be pointed at the organisation – it was clear from the first act on the main stage at 1pm that there were sound and technical issues that would cause delays. It was enough to warrant moving Ordinary Boys to another stage. Why then add MORE small acts to the main stage? First rule of festival management I would’ve thought is “don’t piss off your headline act”. If bands like The Amber Plan had been moved, chances are the backlog causing both The Automatic & Feeder to cut their sets would have been avoided. And why allow Dirty Pretty Things a full hour when it’s apparent that the two later acts will only get half of their allocated time slot? If you’d cut DTP to 40/45 minutes, Automatic could’ve had 40 minutes and still been off stage before 9pm to allow Feeder to set up and play for longer than the 40 minutes they got. A shame that an otherwise fantastic weekend was tarnished by mismanagement.
Despite that, we all had an awesome time, and it’s an effort to scrape Katie off the ceiling she’s so hyper at finally having seen Feeder. The response of die-hard Muse fan Chris to his first Feeder experience is “Muse Who??”. “Roll on the next Feeder tour” we tell them, you think a festival is good, you ain’t seen nothing yet!
Time to head back to the Travelodge, and the following day we all say goodbye until the next time. I head off to Stamford Bridge to catch Chelsea’s first game of the season (boo, Ed), and to my delight not only do we win but I get a free flag. Little things please little minds and all that, but life is good, Football is back, and so are Feeder. Rumour has it that new album will be out April-time, plenty of time to save up for a tour. And Congrats to Grant, Kana & Hana on news of baby Nicholas number 2 on the way... I guess we can forgive Grant the wait for new stuff then ;-)

For those of you who were disgusted at the way Feeder's performance of "Just The Way I'm Feeling" was handled by Blink TV on Channel 4's Sonsiphere highlights, then up there ^ is a YouTube link to "Buck Rogers" which shows the band and only the band, and not annoying random people enjoying their festival acting like fools!.
Last time I saw Feeder was at the Nowich UEA, hope they come back there and play "Descend", been long missing from the setlists!!.
When people listen to the song, they only really take into the energy of the track, if you read the lyrics at the same time then you see the track from a different angle. It's like "Just a Day"- everyone at live gigs is chanting the do-do-do back at the band, getting all sweaty leaping up and down, but if you look into the lyrics they're actually very sad in emotion. Having said that, this is one of the things I love about the band. Raygun tried saying that about their music in that embaressing 4PLAY TV feature a few weeks ago!.
Anyways, here's the lyrics for "Descend" if you like to read them while listening to the track! :). Don;t think any other version of the song will beat that one they played at the Warchild Coronet gig!.
Sitting back I only wish
Today will turn out fine
And wash away the stain
The poison in my eyes
What do you recommend?
I feel my life descending
I'm falling out of reach
Catch me as I bleed (again)
I"m not insane
Can't reach the pain
CHORUS:
If I could be all by myself
I could be me
If you could see, live with my pain
The thoughts that I keep
I hate the way they are
Their patronising thoughts
Tried to get inside my head
Ask the question I have read
But one thing makes it hard
Feel so fragile as I cry
So confused yet so alive
So abused the system lied
You lied to me
I'm not insane
Can't reach the pain
CHORUS
Alone ....alone
Hands appeared around my neck
Felt so hard to breathe I stared
As my focus turned to haze
I could see them
I'm not insane
Can't stand the pain
CHORUS

^^ Simply amazing songwriting there Mr Nicholas, but the older you got the better, just like a fine wine!.

Looking through the window shade
Stare at streets that bear no name
Now it all looks strange to me
Yesterday seems like a dream
But I often try too hard
To break the routine of my day
Turn around, see what I see,
Can't help wishing it would
Change...
Change again, change again
Unchain myself, I will
See the faces in the crowd
Busy streets they move around
Underground seems such a drag
Waiting still and then we
Change...
Change again, change again
Unchain myself, I will
The more I see, the more it hurts
The more we change, it all seems worse
The more I see, the more it hurts
the more we change it all seems...
See tomorrow
See...
See tomorrow
As it drags me there I fell
A sense of urgency unveil
What's in store for us today?
Read the paper, drift away...
Drift away, away
Oh how I hate to feel this way
(Change, change again)
The more I wait for it to change
(Change again, change, unchain myself, I will)
The more I see the more it hurts
(Change, change again)
The more we change it all seems worse
(Change, change again)
The more I see the more it hurts
(Unchain myself)
The more we change it all seems...

"The more i see, the more it hurts,
The more we change it all seems worse."
So true, change is not always for the better and that song is brilliant. They should have kept "Waterfall" on Polythene 2 though.

As for "Sentimental", what a song!!!, Feeder go grunge this is for me and can't wait to hear it when it's on the album. Apparently Grant said it's not finished yet so might do some more lyrics on it and add extra verses or guitar parts.
As for the b-sides, so damn right. When I first got into Feeder during the "Echo Park" era, I eventually got all the singles and realised that most of those tracks would not sound out of place on any album. It made me see a different side to the band as well :). "Bring it Together" on "Forget About Tomorrow" may be short, but is a really energetic track that would also be a good track to put at like track 6 on an album as an interlude.
(Posted on 2009-08-16 12:41:00 by ) -
WELL SAID SOH!!!, this is something Carlos and Matt the twat don't appreciate, I many other fans I know can't stand these "Feeder are not the same band anymore!", "Grant's voice is not as good as it was!". UGH, move on and enjoy the music!, the majority of fans can't stand hearing this at all, it's only the minority who moan.
(Posted on 2009-08-16 12:28:00 by ) -
Oh. my. sweet. jesus.
"Temper Temper my little friend"?, i think you need to go back to Kindergarden, you used an upper case letter TWICE there, and using pathetic childish phrases like "little friend" only makes you look like even more of a little prick than you already are. I'm not trying to sound clever, and I DO have an argument unlike you, you Feeder hater. Call yourself a FAN!?, I think it's you who needs the yellow pages to stand on.
I know nothing about arguments over the internet, more like you do instead as you seem to love starting them up.
Your message was childish, pathetic, and if you you're really think what you said made you look clever then you're terribly mistaken.
I've had a tough week especailly after seeing Ipswich still fail to win a match so far this season, and to read your message made me crackup and cheered me up.
Keep em coming you sad twat, anybody can smack you in the gob, seeing you're so weak and only have a keyboard to fight with.
"Little friend" was obvioulsly relating to my so-called small height, sad, sad, sad. I bet you're a little 6 year old with nothing better to do than slag bands off on the internet. I'd love to see you stand on your yellow pages and say what you said about Grant sounding like an old man to his face. You wouldn't have the guts.
Time to bum off baboon boy!, and keep the insults comnig left right and centre!, I need a laugh!.
(Posted on 2009-08-16 12:22:00 by ) -
"Sentimental" is a very heavy song. Remember me on Nirvana, BUT NOT ON FEEDER ! ! !
What is happening with this band?
What is happening with Grants voice?! !
I don´t like this NEW Sound, I miss the older sound. "The more i see, the more it hurts,
The more we change it all seems worse."
cheers!
(Posted on 2009-08-14 06:55:00 by ) -
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA.........Temper Temper my little friend. You finished swearing? It makes you look really really clever! I love your argument......you havent got one... Your just swearing alot!!! You must be about 8 years old if you swear that much! hahaha. Thats Hilarious. And how exactly would you smack me in the gob....you'll need some yellow pages to stand on first!
I assume you have a lot of arguments over the internet....you seem to know alot about them! I also assume you lose alot by them comments! haha
(Posted on 2009-08-08 12:28:00 by ) -
I just got a hold of all feeders b-sides. Man, i've been missing out. The Song Crash Mat is so good! of course Emily is one of my favorite feeder songs that i've liked for awhile as is Satelite News. The difference between Uk bands and American bands is that the brits release so many b-sides! i love it! I love FEEDER.
(Posted on 2009-08-06 04:44:00 by ) -
I have issues with that word beginning with the letter C, but you made me angry rather than annoyed meaning you made me use it.
If you go onto a Feeder FAN site and bad mouth the band, expect to take critisim for it.
Arguing on the internet is like winning the special olympics, even if you win you're still retarded.
Welcome to the Feeder FAN site shoutbox, I've said my piece and whatever you say back at me I'll gladly ignore knowing how much of a moron you really are.
(Posted on 2009-08-03 12:57:00 by ) -
Stop twisiting things also, you said I was biased towards the band and made a point why I'm not and you twisted round to lake it look like "Who's bashing the band now?".
Fuck off you sad c*nt.
(Posted on 2009-08-02 23:49:00 by ) -
Fuck off you sad Feeder hating twatface, everyone watches South Park for ***ks sake, and unlike you I am aware that there is a real world out there away from a frickin' plastic keyboard.
I'm not bad mouthing the band YOU ARE, the posters on FFS are ace people and calling me a moron is a very, very sad weak attempt to look tough when you are a little sad weakling who couldn't even harm a fly. You are a f*cking moron who should f*ck off to the looney bin where you came from. You have plenty of gob, but when you are not not behind a computer you can't fight back and have nothing to back it up.
You deserve a massive left hook in the gob, shame us Feeder fans don't know what you look like so we can beat you all up to a bluddy pulp.
(Posted on 2009-08-02 23:39:00 by ) -
Haha, no, i didnt get that from south park, but obvisously you've been spending too much time on your tv and computer world to know that. You don't like the Just a day video? Who's bad mouthing the band now? eh? I give it to posters here, i like em, but f**k me, i'm glad there not as stupid as you! lol. Moron.
(Posted on 2009-07-30 15:22:00 by ) -
It's all the time with any long-running band.
You'll get one half of the fan base bashing the band for not "sounding like their old material anymore" and the other saying they're still a good band as always or even better than they were in the beginning.
It's the price any band pays for evolving with their sound, rather than sticking with the same formula all the time, e.g. Napalm Death.
(Posted on 2009-07-19 23:30:00 by ) -
"Its like talking to christians about evolution! lol."
Watching too much "South Park" are we?, get a life, the real world is outside a computer and a TV series universe. Stop trying to sound clever with silly sounding statements, you only make youself look even more of a twat.
I am not single minded about the band, for a start the "Just a Day" video to me is a pile of poo and "Tumble and Fall" is their worse single.
(Posted on 2009-07-19 23:25:00 by ) -
No shut up yourself, we are not single minded in our views. This crap you're mention about bands not getting all good reviews is shit, look at Arcade Fire- not one bad word is said about them.
I'm getting annoyed with the likes of you spamming this shoutbox. Also, leave the FFS proboarders alone, they're a nice bunch unlike you!.
Twat.
(Posted on 2009-07-19 23:22:00 by ) -
lol, shut up Annoyed!!!!! I'm starting to get annoyed myself with peoples 1 minded views on here and the boards. Critism is good! A band can't get good reviews contantly!
These boards are turning into 1 minded crap...Its like talking to christians about evolution! lol
(Posted on 2009-07-19 08:23:00 by ) -
Hi all....
Does anyone have a Best Days CD they might like to sell - e-mail me - I will offer a very good price.
Thanks
Dave

That's right agree with Matt the twat and his stupid patheitc garbage his gums are chuttering out.
Keep off this website, it's for FANS not trolls to trash-talk the band.

Agrees with matt!

I just feel that Grant's voice has changed after Pushing the Senses.
Silent Cry he had a different voice. He sounds completely different then how he sounded on High and Satelite News and other greats. If he brings back his old voice, whatever they put out will be golden. The voice he's using now makes him sound old.

To those who love Feeder check the jacket (feeder army jacket) I have just posted on e-bay. It is an unique piece of clothing any fan of feeder would love to have!!! I'm going to travel around the world so I need the money...

Hey. If you're looking for some rare Feeder items then you might be interested in my eBay items...

Well said "annoyed". 7 sleepers is not a classic by any stretch of the imagination but for feeder fans its music gold! Still loving it after listening solid for a week now :-)

Keep your brutal flawed opinions off here, this is a FAN SITE.

I am a Feeder Fan since 1998 ( sweet 16)
and i like the sound of SWIM, POLYTHENE and YWTS, but not SEVEN SLEEPERS! That´s my meaning.
(Posted on 2009-03-21 11:06:00 by ) -
how on earh can you say that about "Seven Sleepers"?!, there is no pleaseing anyone.
Jon lee is a legend unlike yourself.
(Posted on 2009-03-20 23:46:00 by ) -
Seven Sleepers E.P.
is the worst record ever!!! This is not the typical Feeder sound i like. Grants voice is not the same like on evry record in the past!
I hope Feeder go back to the roots with the next record.
Jon Lee forever! cheers.
(Posted on 2009-03-19 18:01:00 by ) -
7 Sleepers is awesome rock! If you are a true feeder fan then you will LOVE the sound that Grant delivers on these new tracks! Im so addicted to these tracks its unreal...
(Posted on 2009-03-14 19:31:00 by ) -

Ich hoffe, dass ich bald die "seven sleepers" cd bekomme, da gabs ja einige Probleme!
Die neuen Stücke sollten endlich wieder mal so klingen wie auf "yesterday went to soon",
dass beste Feeder Album! Gruà an alle Deutschland und hoffentlich kommen Feeder mal wieder nach Berlin.
cheers Henry.

Why is there an RSS link for the comments but not for the news ??
(Posted on 2009-02-16 01:50:00 by ) -
Ja es gibt tatsächlich ein paar Feeder Fans in Deutschland, die sich so sehr eine Tour wünschen und auch mal ein richtiges Label, damit auch Feeder mal in Deutschland ein bisschen bekannter wird
(Posted on 2009-02-15 17:27:00 by ) -
Schön dass man auch mal an die deutschen Fans denkt. Ich besuche FFS tatsächlich min. einmal am Tag. Gibts nicht mal endlich Termine für Feeder-Gigs in Germany?

I remember Mark saying on the Feederweb webchat in 2004, when I was one of the competition winners to meet him on the same day, that he likes BLT as one of his faves :).
Am so relieved everybody is alright :), was a real shocker when I read the headline.
(Posted on 2008-10-28 17:32:00 by ) -
:O thankfully no-one was hurt in the shocking Feeder tour bus fire! - I'd be happy to make up a food parcel for them now all their catering has been destroyed... wonder what kind of sandwiches they like? ;)

Can't wait to see Feeder in november, would have prefered to see them at the historic Astoria but personally Brixton Academy is my favourite venue! Iv been looking at this site for years... thought it was about time to actually say something... Wooooo!...

FIGHTSTAR SUPPORTING FEEDER IS MY DREAM GIG BUT I CAN'T MAKE ANY DATES COS I'LL BE IN SOUTHAMPTON :(
no bad words about fightstar they are a ledge band and you will see that when they tour with feeder!

Hello, Feeder rock!
(Posted on 2008-08-27 13:59:00 by ) -
time for fan power once more guys, lets flex our muscles and remind them why we're the best group of fans around, we did it for Shatter, now add your voice to the campaign to get a physical Tracing Lines/Silent Cry release AND a new track!
http://www.ipetitions.com/petition/feeder/
(Posted on 2008-07-30 12:49:00 by ) -
'Tracing Lines' release date has been moved from 11th August to 25th August. More to wait! :(
A good thing is that you can download 'Somewhere to Call Your Own' by digital download.
I wonder if the next single will come out on a physical copy as well as a digital one...I hope it does...
New single is on the Feederweb:

What the f. The Forum just went down.
(Posted on 2008-07-29 20:27:00 by ) -
oh go on stace, listen to it on the bus... just don't sit next to me while you're doing so!
(Posted on 2008-07-24 12:19:00 by ) -
That is possibly my favourite review...of anything...ever.
I'm never gonna be able to listen to Miss You without laughing away to myself ever again. Maybe i should avoid listening to it on the bus then...hmmmn.
(Posted on 2008-07-23 20:11:00 by ) -
and FFS does it again, brilliant review
(and thank god, someone else agrees that Songs From The Crypt was a much better title idea!)
(Posted on 2008-07-23 20:04:00 by ) -
I'm curious for that review too... I hope FFS will write a good one.
(Posted on 2008-07-17 10:08:00 by ) -
Will we be seeing a Silent Cry review soon?

Feeder! Feeder! Feeder! Feeeeeeeder!
sorry guys, mad moment :P
(Posted on 2008-07-15 20:15:00 by ) -
Bloody hell, I hate it when a decent album like Feeder's doesn't get well known. I guess give it another month or two, it will probably get more popularity when an advert pops on TV or something.
(Posted on 2008-07-09 12:55:00 by ) -
Agree... Feeder need to come to Australia. If small little indie artists can make it over here, why can't feeder?!
(Posted on 2008-07-08 08:32:00 by ) -
What happened to the lyrics page? Is it being updated?
(Posted on 2008-07-07 17:59:00 by ) -
I love Feeder's new album :]
what i hate is that i live in Australia and they havent toured here since 2000 i think its time for another visit its been so long and its time to come back around again.
what marcus said its so true...plus they deserve more then what they got now but hey at least there selling records and got a good fan-base too
(Posted on 2008-07-07 13:55:00 by ) -
thanks Rach :)
(Posted on 2008-07-06 15:33:00 by ) -
Yeah Suey, it really annoys me, EVERY TIME Coldplay put out an album there's this big media fanfare, but when it's Feeder it's all hush-hush in comparison :-(.
(Posted on 2008-07-05 09:47:00 by ) -
Nothings funny about a mean review when it's band you like. Why is it when Feeder get bad reviews the writer really, REALLY rips into them?!, it don't happen to other bands. Pathetic and childish, that's what it is.
(Posted on 2008-07-05 09:46:00 by ) -
er... yes. Leo's post was so good he had to post it twice.
Chloe, I love yer tour diaries. Ace reading!

it´s a good record, but since Jon Lee was gone, the band has lost the typical "feeder-sound". YESTERDAY WENT TO SOON" is the best record...cheers from germany.
(Posted on 2008-06-19 06:53:00 by ) -
got the Deluxe version and have been listening to it ever since monday! Great album :)
(Posted on 2008-06-18 09:39:00 by ) -

It's so great to hold a new Feeder record in my hands! These are the beautiful moments of life! Cheers!

Silent Cry in my hands baby! The three years were worth the wait.

Got my deluxe version through the door today :D
Must say though, the bonus tracks aren't really anything special...oh well, so happy to have the CD in my hands.

DJ Rodney Bingenheimer on KROQ in Los Angeles played "Into the Blue" on his show. That was pretty cool to hear.

Miss You was on Euro 2008 yesterday. There must be a Feeder fan at the BBC!
(Posted on 2008-06-08 23:06:00 by ) -
summer of sport coming up though, euros, olympics and wimbledon.. bound to be some feeder music in the background there ;)

Thats a shame, cheers Nance

Not sure there will be a TV ad. The Singles had one because of the EMI collaboration...
(Posted on 2008-06-03 20:48:00 by ) -
Yeeeehhhh.
We're back on
(Posted on 2008-06-03 17:49:00 by ) -
I meant TV advertising, It's just that I am sick of seeing the ad for the new Coldplay album,
(Posted on 2008-06-03 17:03:00 by ) -
How awesome was Bristol! Who's The Enemy, MPD, YWTS, Insomnia, High, All My Life crowd takeover (!) and a chance to see the guys outside before/after the gig. My best Feeder gig so far :)
(Posted on 2008-06-03 15:13:00 by ) -
sue - what sort of advertising do you mean? street teaming has officially started, brighton seemed to be covered in silent cry posters already...
(Posted on 2008-06-03 12:31:00 by ) -
Any ffs'sers that have myspace feel free to add me - www.myspace.com/staceywatkins - :o)
(Posted on 2008-06-03 10:37:00 by ) -
I don't think there's been a "fire". I reckon Pro Boards haven't paid their credit card bills and have had all their servers repossessed.
(Posted on 2008-06-03 08:27:00 by ) -
When are we going to see some advertising for the new single or album.

Contemplating life on mars
Life's a cover magazine

Till I see this house under pale blue skies
With golden fields that will burn your eyes
So let's take a drive underneath the sun
New intentions all around
Put the brakes on, slow it down
Trying to find a new release
Find a space that you can breath
But I've seen a house under pale blue skies
With golden fields that will burn your eyes
So let's take a drive underneath the sun
But don't come around, pulling me down
Telling the world how I let you down
Just tell all your friends
I wanna dream with you
So tell all your friends and neighbors too

Tell all your friends I wanna dream with you
Tell all your friends
