they're from leeds

they use a drum machine

they're very thin

one of them's called "von"

they have worked with choque hosein (ex-salvation guitarist, gary marx's producer & friend, and practically my neighbour it would seem!!)

and they get compared with all the right bands

do the math, people













not sure about those pants though

do the math, people

rake-thin teenage guttersnipes

I doubt Eldo has been mistaken for a teenager for many years.
But hey, two out of three ain't bad!

I suggest your maths are faulty.

[Quiff Boy]

but 8/7*37 = 524, non?

never said it was THAT von

just trying to point out their potential "pedigree"

[Dan]

I must admit there's a vague similarity between the guy in the pants and our Von, plus it says he plays bass, so it all fits.

if they're the lads i'm thinking of they actually look like the strokes, if the strokes had done cheaper speed and slept in a bus station for a few weeks

i'm pretty sure i've seen them trapsing through farsley, which given the apparent proximity of choq's place to my house it would make sense.

they could do with hitching up their jeans though - the bottoms were all frayed

[Quiff Boy]

the leeds scene from "back in the day" is so incestuous

for example:

aki, the drummer from southern death cult, is now the frontman for fun^da^mental.

choq used to record under the name of "black star liner" and did some stuff with fun^da^mental.

dave ball, ex-soft cell, remixed some black star liner stuff when he was in "the grid"

and it goes on.

dubious choice in underpants, Sir!
