XFM All Day Breakfast, ULU 21.06.08

by Chloe Yates

So radio station XFM announced an all-day breakfast event, a day of London gigs at venues across the city, from artists such as get Cape Wear Cape Fly, Paul Weller, Primal Scream, and our very own Feeder boys. Having entered the XFM online competition in an unsuccessful attempt to win tickets (Mark did used to drum for Girls Aloud yes? :p) I was chuffed when Fweb announced 100 pairs of tickets to give away and I was one of the names out of the hat, score! My spare ticket went to Kev, as he’d missed out on the Proud gig, and as a large proportion of FFSers and official board regulars had also been lucky, looked like it was going to be a good day, with the chance to put faces to more boarders names.

It was due to be an early evening gig, doors at 4, support from Brandon Steep (who’d supported at Bristol) at 5pm, Feeder at 6. Decided that I’d try to make it 3 gigs in a row at the front, so met Kev at Goodge Street tube at about half1, and wandered down to find the venue, it being another new one for me. Met Marcus down there already, and Mister B soon walked up for a chat, and we were soon swapping tour stories, and sharing photos etc. We hadn’t been there that long when Taka emerged from the back of the venue and walked up past us, saying he’d come back later to sign stuff for us, and that gig was “in doubt ’cos there’s no power…”.. ooo-er that doesn’t sound good thinks I. Next up, Mark & Dean walk up from the venue, with one of the crew, plus Dean’s wife and buggy containing their son Elliot. Dean asks how I am, while Mark says Hi and signs one of my Silent Cry stickers, and asks if I’ve made any cake recently… I reply with “Not since Erika’s” [Mark‘s girlfriend, who‘s band iMMa I street-team for, I gave her a birthday cake at her gig the week before] Mark looks sad and says “I didn’t get any of hers!”, though when I point out she didn’t get any of his either, he agrees that it’s probably fair enough. They then go to get some food, Mark crouching down and bouncing alongside the buggy to make Elliot laugh.

Few more faces turn up, I meet Polythene Chris for the first time, plus get a chance to catch up with Si who I’d not seen since the Coronet, say hi to Craig, and have a proper chat with KJ, someone else I’ve seen at loads of Feeder gigs and never properly talked to (Feeder… bringing people together) Then first Mark and then Dean come back down the road towards the venue, and although they’re both in a hurry (Mark: “power’s back, sound check time, I’m late!”) they both quickly stop for a photo with me - thanks guys, much appreciated, and ta Mr B for camera duties as well!

Queue gets bigger, and security come out to tell us that “technical issues” mean doors won’t be opening at 4, but they’ll keep us updated re developments. 4pm comes and we can hear Feeder sound checking from within, so at least the power is on! Then Grant’s missus Kana and their little girl Hana turn up, Kana asking the people on the door where the backstage entrance is, while Hana shows off her rock skull shoes and mini Feeder t-shirt (so cute!). We wait longer, and longer, in the meantime meeting TheAlex from the boards, hi mate! And credit to security for telling us what was happening - the power issues meant they had to cancel the support act, and doors eventually opened at half5. We were in and central at the barrier ready for Feeder at 6.

XFM were broadcasting live, with the audio being played over the speakers into the venue - very odd déjà vu esque sensation when DJ Alex Zane was on phone to presenter backstage/on stage and hearing it both on radio and in person. Anyway, Feeder were introduced and came on just after 6pm, straight into Sonorous - great to hear something different as an opener, and I thought this worked really well. Mark clocked me at the front and gave me a grin, and then the guys went into Feeling A Moment, getting us all wooo oooo ing. Next was Shatter, good to hear it after missing it at Proud, and then they started into “our new single” We Are The People - only something went wrong ’cos Grant said “woah.. Lets start that again, live radio!”, on take 2 it sounded awesome, by the end Mark leaned back and clearly said “f*** me I’m knackered!” to his tech… we’re only 4 songs in mate! I have to say, WATP is amazing live, as Mark said in a recent web-chat it “rocks big kahooooonas”, it’s only slightly bettered by next in the setlist, the awesome Miss You, during which Mark ala L&F @ Proud (see diary) made sure I was looking at him before mentally head banging along - that happened a couple of times during the set, hand-banging in unison before I gave him the thumb-ups (he loves the attention!). CeeCee/Dean's backing vocals are coming through loud and clear - he’s a great addition to live Feeder, and Dean and Taka are on usual top form - no sign of Taka’s recent back problems as he bounces as energetically as ever.

Mark has to change his snare after Miss You, before the guys play long-time crowd pleaser Come Back Around. Grant then gives the album a bit of a plug, joking that its out-selling Coldplay 4:1 (cue cymbal riff from Mark) and that his mum has bought 450 copies… before going into another fave of mine in Itsumo, promoting another head-banging moment with Mark. Grant then takes the opportunity to introduce us all to his 3 year old daughter Hana, sat up in the balcony, we all give her a wave, she takes the opportunity to shout “Daddy!” before the guys launch into Tracing Lines. This is followed by Grant “taking us back to Comfort In Sound” with classic Just The Way I’m Feeling, followed by even more of a classic in My Perfect Day - I’ve loving the MPD love at the moment, keep it up!

Next up is Fires - in the gigwise web-chat earlier in the week, Mark had decided to tell everyone that this was about me burning cakes… (transcript can be found on the FFS Proboards http://feederfansite.proboards20.com/index.cgi?board=FEEDER&action=display&thread=3463&page=3 ) so I get a nod and a wink for this, but that aside this is again rather epic live - it’s a track that to begin with I didn’t quite get all the fuss about, but its completely grown into one of my favourites on Silent Cry (mind you, its hard to pick a least favourite on that album, they’re all bloody great, even Space!) I’ve a feeling Fires is going to be immense at the fests.

Grant dedicates the next track to support act Brandon Steep (www.myspace.com/Brandonsteep) who’d been unable to play due to power issues. It is Lost & Found… midway through Grant does the recent usual and breaks into Foo Fighters All My Life, and, in genius fashion, it completely takes off and most of the crowd sing out the whole first verse - Grant letting us get on with it and looking at Dean well chuffed that it’s happening - 3rd gig I’ve been to when Grant has tried All My Life and it’s the first time for me that the crowd have really got behind it -nice one! And it earns us a “Bewdiful” from Mr Nicholas.

Grant is then completely evil introducing the next track, saying “we weren’t going to play this, but we want to prove we still have a sense of humour in our old age, and you’ve been asking for it to be played…” my instant reaction is “he’s not actually going to play Tangerine is he?!” but then he says “this is dedicated to Elliot & Hana” (cue Hana shouting out Daddy! Feeder!” again) and we get Buck Rogers. It’s not that long since you played that Grant, but still it goes down well, and Mark shows he’s learnt the words since his Never Mind The Buzzcocks appearance and sings along to “so don’t you try and fake it” in the last chorus in our direction. Grant reworks the ending of Buck as well, by throwing in a few lines of Pixies track “Monkey’s Gone To Heaven”.

Then introduced as the last track of the evening, Just A Day prompting the usual mass bounce - unlike at Proud we have a decent barrier so the experience is much more enjoyable. The guys thank us and go off-stage, the “Fee-dah! Fee-dah!” chants starting almost before they’ve gone - in fact Mark stands stage-side and points at one of the crew, joining in with the chants to him for a little while before vanishing. However, we’re not giving up, we want an encore, and conducted by one of security, plus the XFM DJ Alex Zane helping us out over the airwaves we’re chanting “Feeder!” and “We want more” for a good 5mins 24 secs (thanks to the radio rip for the precision there!). Finally first Mark pops back on stage “But it’s just me!” to huge cheers, before the Deans, Taka and finally Grant follow him out. “I was in a cab! Had to turn the car around!” jokes Grant before launching into one final track in High. This is indeed the end now, short of the throwing of various stuffs into the crowd - thanks to Kev’s superior catching skills he hands me 2 of Marks towels, a special XFM London green number and usual big white fluffy thing, and Kev himself nabs a set-list.

Me & Kev along with Si join Mister B, Marc, Craig, KJ and a few others and decide as its early we might as well hang around by the backstage entrance and see if we can nab the guys coming out. Before long Dean appears with one of the crew, then says he’ll be back out to say hi in a minute, popping back inside, then later reappearing carrying the buggy, with his wife and son behind. As he’s with family it doesn’t seem appropriate to bother him for autographs etc, so aside from reassuring him that it was a good show, we let him head off down the street, looking very rock and roll pushing a buggy complete with AAA pass stuck to it! A little while later Mark heaves the door open and appears, looking slightly bemused to see us there “here comes trouble” says Kev, with Mark responding “oh yeah, here I am, eventually!” He points at me saying “I saw you!” *puts one arm in the air*, then says “and I saw you!” to KJ, *puts both arms in air* commenting that he didn’t recognise her with new hair, KJ replying she’ll have to dye it back to blue for next time. I get Mark to sign my ticket, and we have a quick chat, Mark commenting on it being very weird coming out from a gig so early and in daylight, and I ask after his dog Banjo. CeeCee aka Dean number 2 appears, and I get to meet him for the first time, before Kana, Hana and Grant come out, with a black cab waiting for them at end of road. Again it doesn’t seem appropriate to take up Grant’s time as he has his family there, so I just say “good show, thanks” and shake his hand, before obliging by taking a photo of him with a couple who‘d been waiting with us. He then gets into the cab with Kana & Hana, Hana waving at us through the window, before Mark suddenly legs it over, and dives half into the cab to say bye to Hana. I then get CeeCee to sign my ticket, as Mark’s phone rings, and he works out where Dean is getting food from (nothing quite like hearing the words “Goodge Street” in a Yorkshire accent…) he hangs up and announces he’s off to get dinner and “Tidey - you coming? Oops, sorry wrong Dean I mean CeeCee!” haha! Must be very confusing having 100% extra Dean these days...! There’s just enough time to offer Mark my hand to shake, at which point he grabs it, says “Alright Love!” and pulls me in for a hug and “mwah” kiss on cheek - bless his cotton socks. Mister B takes the opportunity to ask if Taka is still inside, CeeCee informing us that yes “but he won’t be out until all the wine is gone!” CeeCee & Mark head off to meet Dean number 1 and we decide to take our chances and wait for Taka to complete the quintet. He soon appears, signs everything in sight and is happy to pose for a quick photo with me, before saying “oo group shot group shot!” and we get 2 photos of the gang of us with Taka, awesome. Oh his tip for Euro 2008 is Russia, and his fave track on Silent Cry is Heads Held High.

Time for us all to go our separate ways until no doubt the October Tour beings us all together again,. Or, you never know, we might be lucky and get itunes festival tickets for July…. Fingers crossed, cos free Feeder? It doesn’t get much better than that!

    Staring out to reach a star

    Contemplating life on mars

    Life's a cover magazine

    I'm an eggshell under feet

    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

    CNN BBC world news

    Tell all your friends I wanna dream with you

    Tell all your friends

    Tell all your friends

    I don't wanna sit here catching flies

    Cause I have seen this 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

    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

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

  5. 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...

  6. "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.

  7. 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.

  8. 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.

  9. 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!.

  10. "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!

  11. 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

  12. 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.

  13. 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.

  14. 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.

  15. 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.

  16. 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.

  17. 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.

  18. "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.

  19. 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.

  20. 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

  21. 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

  22. 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.

  23. Agrees with matt!

  24. 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.

  25. 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...

  26. Go check out the awesome new record by ManOrMouse?

  29. 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 :-)

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

  31. 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.

  32. how on earh can you say that about "Seven Sleepers"?!, there is no pleaseing anyone.

    Jon lee is a legend unlike yourself.

  33. 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.

  34. 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...

  35. Listen, download, enjoy.

    Cheers!

  36. 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! Gruß an alle Deutschland und hoffentlich kommen Feeder mal wieder nach Berlin.

    cheers Henry.

  37. Why is there an RSS link for the comments but not for the news ??

  38. 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

  39. 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?

  40. Sorry, Feeder sale here:

  44. 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.

  45. :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? ;)

  46. *mod mode*

    for people trying to access the message boards & finding its either very slow or just not loading at all..... proboards central is having some problems and they're working on getting it sorted. dunno how long will be before back to normal. (ok own up, who started a fire this time? :P)

    updates can be seen at http://support.proboards.com/index.cgi?board=support

  47. my FFS Members exclusive Tracing Lines/Silent Cry digipak arrived today.. what can i say, as ever MW you have surpassed yourself! artwork is amazing! *bows in respect* ta mate

  48. 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!...

  49. Helloooo

    my luvvies! i hate long breaks at college so i thought i'd say high...erm i mean hi! :P

    xxx

  50. 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!

  51. I re-activated my Feeder blog. It has some live music. Check it out!

    Thanks

  52. I am loving the mocked up TL / SC single cover, pure genius!

  53. Hello, Feeder rock!

  54. 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/

  55. '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:

    http://www.feederweb.com/releases.php

  56. What the f. The Forum just went down.

  57. oh go on stace, listen to it on the bus... just don't sit next to me while you're doing so!

  58. 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.

  59. and FFS does it again, brilliant review

    (and thank god, someone else agrees that Songs From The Crypt was a much better title idea!)

  60. I'm curious for that review too... I hope FFS will write a good one.

  61. Will we be seeing a Silent Cry review soon?

  62. Nice banner ;D

  63. You're forgiven xD

  64. Feeder! Feeder! Feeder! Feeeeeeeder!

    sorry guys, mad moment :P

  65. 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.

  66. Agree... Feeder need to come to Australia. If small little indie artists can make it over here, why can't feeder?!

  67. What happened to the lyrics page? Is it being updated?

  68. 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

  69. thanks Rach :)

  70. 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 :-(.

  71. 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.

  72. er... yes. Leo's post was so good he had to post it twice.

    Chloe, I love yer tour diaries. Ace reading!

  73. I just listened to the album for the first time there now and i blew off a load in my underpants

  74. I just listened to the album for the first time there now and i blew off a load in my underpants

  75. Funny-but-mean review of Silent Cry

  76. Feeder photos from Proud Galleries online now at ThrashHits.com

    cheers

    Raz

  77. 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.

  78. got the Deluxe version and have been listening to it ever since monday! Great album :)

  79. just bought We are the People off iTunes. i love these guys =)

  80. I've just got the new CD, oh... it's marvellous!

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

  81. *shouts* :D

    I like this album, lots!

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

  83. 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.

  84. Whats with the xmas decorations at the top of the page? ;)

  85. ooooo its all pretty! ta for putting my diary up dude :)

  86. Ooo a new look...very swish!

  87. Love the new look! Looking forward to the reviews...

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

  89. calling out for days is quality! haven't heard the other bside though cos my parents record player is bust :(

  90. Miss You was on Euro 2008 yesterday. There must be a Feeder fan at the BBC!

  91. summer of sport coming up though, euros, olympics and wimbledon.. bound to be some feeder music in the background there ;)

  92. Thats a shame, cheers Nance

  93. Not sure there will be a TV ad. The Singles had one because of the EMI collaboration...

  94. Yeeeehhhh.

    We're back on

  95. I meant TV advertising, It's just that I am sick of seeing the ad for the new Coldplay album,

  96. 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 :)

  97. sue - what sort of advertising do you mean? street teaming has officially started, brighton seemed to be covered in silent cry posters already...

  98. Any ffs'sers that have myspace feel free to add me - www.myspace.com/staceywatkins - :o)

  99. 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.

  100. When are we going to see some advertising for the new single or album.
