phat face, sean john, roc-a-wear, ivy park...

yeah, I thought about F. Perry right after posting that !
Let's say, out of the sport world (otherwise you have Lacoste, etc).
As for these brands "phat face, sean john, roc-a-wear, ivy park...", I must say I don't know them... (except roc-a-wear but is it a big brand though ?)

These celebrity brands always seem like vanity projects to me and I wonder if they really make money out of it.

lol my husband has a nice coat (non parka) from there. neither of us had any idea it was anything to do with a Gallagher.

tbf there could be his face literally wallpapering the shop and he wouldn't have noticed.

I just told him and said he'd wondered why it was such an odd shop full of pictures of LG

ahah. I wonder if LG was actually wearing his own brand or if he kept wearing the classic brands...

If I remember correctly, they are pics of LG in his heyday, being hey.

Perfection. Could also go on the "People who have obviously written their own Wikipedia entry" thread: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Twisted_Wheel_(band). They've got a whole press release copied in there – including the heading "Press Release".

this is my cousin dom (the one with swagger/haircut of the beatles and the hair transplant of Wayne Rooney who is pointing at Harold Wilson statue) with his over 60's ukulele band.

calzino, Friday, 14 June 2019 13:43 (six years ago)

Twisted Wheel have more depth than some critics gave them credit for: “I was getting compared to Dylan, Cohen, Donovan before Twisted Wheel then we became a band and playing those same songs then getting called lad rock,” he says. “That’s bloody bone idleness to be honest. They try and destroy you people. There's a lot of jealously out there. You normally find people who are instigating stuff like that are out of bands who aren’t getting anywhere in their own band.” Brutal.

Uptown VONC (Le Bateau Ivre), Friday, 14 June 2019 13:44 (six years ago)

Based on a cursory listen to their 2012 single 'Ride', they're mildly preferable to Greta Van Fleet.

pomenitul, Friday, 14 June 2019 13:53 (six years ago)

Their latest, 'Nomad Hat', is vaguely listenable. I don't hate the stuff, possibly due to some lingering exoticism.

McGees Finest Preserves - still ideal for filling up them empty spaces in your pantry.

Nice that they've allow a Zika virus victim to front the band.

Of course, it takes 6 (six) of them to cover the kind of shite any half decent trio could do in their sleep

Master of Treacle, Friday, 23 August 2019 14:25 (five years ago)

Ahah. Will Britain ever stop producing these bands ? Or maybe there will eventually be a revival of this genre one day !

I have to accept what my beautiful thread has been reduced to so I guess we can discuss theory now but mark's post is relevant and important this is essentially a history of rhythmless chunky English lads and the time line goes back at least as far as moorish "dancing"

Can't remember if the Abbot's Bromley horn dance has already appeared in this thread but it's also U&K and there's a fruitful cross-pollination to be made with the funkless arm-flailing of rave culture
