I need some input. There has been much discussion about the BMX Bandits in the recent past (perhaps someone from B&S has some connection?). So my local used cd barn has this BMX Bandits cd, but my conscience forbids me from buying things I have no knowledge of. What are they like? Is this a worthwhile purchase?
The BMX Bandits are very jingly-jangly pop (Teenage Fanclub "grew out" of them) and are OK on record, but to catch them at their best, you have to see them live. I saw them at last year's Planet Pop festival (supported by the incredible Secret Goldfish), and I haven't grinned so much at a gig in ages. Just a massive cheesy smile, plastered to my face, as I enjoy the bizarre bobbins that Duglas was coming out with, as he stands there wearing a PVC satchel with Minnie Mouse on it, and wandering round the pub carrying a tea-cup of hot water. So, in summary: Great live, average on record. Rod.
