Paul Healey saw Tompaulin and thought they were a pale immitation of you know who. Who would that be Paul ? The Jesus and marychain ? I love belle and sebastian but I really don't see the comparison. You see I also love Tompaulin and I love The Butterflies. I think that you were at a different concert. "tompaulin tonight are noisier and more assertive than we remember them. From the Mary Chain bassline in Carcrash to the drenching feedback at the end of Swing Low Stuart, the band match sweet vocals with barbed guitar noise and exchange confession for confrontation." sounds sxp The Butterflies of Love were also magnificent. They have also been tagged with the Belle And Sebastian comparions, though not by you Paul! They are a noisy feedback band. It made sense to see Tompaulin and The Buterflies Of Love together. I wory that Belle and Sebastian are becoming our Smiths. By this I mean that new bands are stifled by imposible comparisons they can't live up to and that there is no room for any serious discussion on the merits of recent work. anyway joxx ===== small town night club over a pub/girls in make up thicken the blood __________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
