I found this on Popjustice. It didn't exactly get a positive response on the messageboard.

Zutons drummer Sean Payne tells The Sun Online:

"She’s not suitable for festivals. She can do her own big gigs. I think maybe she is just after a bit of credibility really. It could also be a funny thing for students. You know where it's crap but they actually think it’s funny. Ironically funny. It might be that she is there because she has a massive gay following and loads of gays might go there."

surely the world stopped caring at the phrase "Zutons drummer"?

still not gonna escape that "similar to (but even worse than) the Coral" prefix, boys.

He's the drummer for the fucking ZUTONS, who gives a shit what he thinks? He's a drummer. And he's in the Zutons. That's two strikes.

LOADS OF GAYS

It doesn't have the same ring as drummer from Gay Dad but it will do.

i wonder what the drummer from Cud is doing these days

― shine headlights on me (electricsound), Tuesday, 26 April 2005 03:02 (twenty years ago)

He's probably been put out to pasture.

― moley, Tuesday, 26 April 2005 03:04 (twenty years ago)

Or Sultans of Ping. Not that I care about what happened to their drummer or anyone else in that band.

― Teardrop Machine, Tuesday, 26 April 2005 03:07 (twenty years ago)

if only he hadn't lost his jumper.

― shine headlights on me (electricsound), Tuesday, 26 April 2005 03:10 (twenty years ago)

Miccio wins.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Tuesday, 26 April 2005 03:47 (twenty years ago)

he's a good drummer and the best thing in the band.

This is from The Sun so he was probably misquoted. He probably really loves Kylie and they cut out the words I DEARLY HOPE between 'and' and 'loads' for fear of upsetting their readers.

It's a bit like the goalkeeper for Dulwich FC reserves saying that Manchester United aren't suitable for the Champions League.

wtf.

y'gotta larf, inchar.

who the fuck are the zutons, anyway?

― Pashmina (Pashmina), Tuesday, 26 April 2005 08:23 (twenty years ago)

The Dave Clark Five off steroids.

― Marcello Carlin (nostudium), Tuesday, 26 April 2005 08:25 (twenty years ago)

rofl at the fact that he's pissed off, basically about ky being too mainstream, so who does he go and bleat to? Why, THE SUN, of course, wtf.

― Pashmina (Pashmina), Tuesday, 26 April 2005 08:44 (twenty years ago)

He might be pissed off about the possibility of members of Kylie's huge gay following chatting him up.

― Marcello Carlin (nostudium), Tuesday, 26 April 2005 08:45 (twenty years ago)

PHWOOOAR! Come here, you!

Are you sure you haven't mixed up the Zutons with Paper Lace? It's easily done.

― Marcello Carlin (nostudium), Tuesday, 26 April 2005 09:25 (twenty years ago)

have you ever seen the zutons and coral together? surely the same band releasing rubbish music in alternate years

― DJ Martian (djmartian), Tuesday, 26 April 2005 09:29 (twenty years ago)

Blondie and the Pet Shop Boys did alright at Glastonbury, so why not Kylie?

― thomas, Tuesday, 26 April 2005 09:30 (twenty years ago)

i personally cant wait.

kylie was def one of the main reasons i got up early that sunday morning - ahem - if you'll pardon the phrase ..

i would never do the same for the zutons.

From the SAME city. Frickin' Liverpool bands, shite and onions the lot of them.

― Dadaismus (Dada), Tuesday, 26 April 2005 09:34 (twenty years ago)

The Zutons, it must be said, are a band in their infancy, still finding their sound - but it also must be said, they are astounding. There isn't a song on their debut album that I didn't love; every single one is catchy or attractive in one way or another. It's really hard, as many have said, to label their music - they seem to combine Rock, Soul, Funk, Ska & Country types of music.

Amazing album any human being must buy it. AMAZING !!!!!!!!!!!

Was this review helpful to you?

― NickB (NickB), Tuesday, 26 April 2005 09:41 (twenty years ago)

exactly how many percent of that post is from an amazon review?

― shine headlights on me (electricsound), Tuesday, 26 April 2005 09:43 (twenty years ago)

Were I to have altered it in any way, it would have merely been to insert the phrase "shite'n'onions" into the list of descriptors.

― NickB (NickB), Tuesday, 26 April 2005 09:47 (twenty years ago)

i'm still recovering from the terrible advert for the album where every track featured just seemed to be the title of the song said over and over again - what do you mean that's how they actually go??

(i quite like 'You Will You Won't' and 'Confusion' now tho...)

― $V£N! (blueski), Tuesday, 26 April 2005 09:49 (twenty years ago)

The drummer from Cud is now playing with Kylie.

Imagine my horror last weekend when on walking into a Seattle record shop several thousand miles from home I was greeted by the Zutons album.

arrrgh so otm! my friend and i were apparently the only non-oasis fans staying in a hotel a few years ago around one of their last big appearances, and good lord was it unpleasant. but grateful as i might be for the moderating presence of the gays, i will definitely be giving kylie's performance a miss.

Will this dude be blasting out Spinning Around on the streets of Baghdad next?

― Matt DC, Thursday, 3 July 2008 15:07 (seventeen years ago)

Cue stock remark about "Always Right Behind You" being enough to make anyone want to top themselves. But hopefully the Zutons will do it so the rest of us don't have to.

― Dingbod Kesterson, Thursday, 3 July 2008 15:11 (seventeen years ago)

So he just had his iPod on shuffle when he was about to kill himself? Really, you'd think he'd at least have enough respect for his death to at least make a playlist.

― jonathan - stl, Thursday, 3 July 2008 15:25 (seventeen years ago)

He was listening to Light Years, Spinning Around made him contemplate suicide, changed his mind when the next track started up.
