Written by The 405
One day left! ONE DAY LEFT I SAY! Oh! How the excitement is near unbearable. As the days, hours, even minutes tick by, we here at The405 are becoming ever more intoxicated on the thought of what wonderment tomorrow will bring. The Notting Hill Arts Club, 4-8pm, FREE ENTRY, what more could you ask for of a Saturday afternoon? I can't fathom a possible answer other than stated happenings!
We have enjoyed interviews and biogs from 4or5 Magicians and Duke Raoul already this week so go and check them out if you have not thus far. But today is the day for Favours For Sailors!
The 405 Presents Favours For Sailors - JRC, AKDB, Maltese Falcon, DSS
Myspace: www.myspace.com/favours4sailors
Hailing from ye olde London Town, these guys expel an excitable dance fuled melody that will undoubtedly sound megalithic within the confines of the Notting Hill Arts Club tomorrow.
Their myspace page states, when speaking of Favours For Sailors
"In a time of streamlined hair, perfect posturing and asymmetric melodies, Favours For Sailors provide a much-needed musical pick-me-up. Mixing the fractured pop of Pavement, the frenetic power of Gang Of Four, the guitar heroics of Television, and the frustration of four misplaced mid-20s wage slaves, their tunes spill over with wistful lust and exuberant alcoholism."
There is not much more to be said about this band, other than if you choose not to attend such an inspired afternoon that this Saturday promises to be, you will miss out on an enigmatic and fantastic band that has nowhere to go but forwards in this fickle industry called 'music'.
We'll see you there!

Nirvana, mainly because they were over and done with before I was musically conscious so Dave Grohl couldn't ruin them for me by how intrinsically annoying he is. [view article]

We are including all his musical directions in the debate, which is why we're discussing whether he was better in Foo Fighters or Probot also. Facts are he is a better drummer than he is a guitarist or vocalist, and as we're debating which band he was best in rather than which band he made the best, he thus performed better in Nirvana and QOTSA. To repeat what some of the others have said, he's been good in Foos and had a lot of fame, but hasn't been nearly as influential or impressive as in the bands beforehand. [view article]

Sure, but since Grohl has played his hand at many different musical directions its important to include all of them in this debate in order to find out when he was at his best. Otherwise It'd be a debate about when he was the best drummer... For the record, I do think he's a really good drummer. But doesn't it take a little something away from QOTSA as a band and Grohl himself, if were just going to consider his one off involvement with the group as his crowning moment? I've always been a fan of that band, way before Grohl ever did SFTD with them and though he was a great addition, it's not like the album was carried on his drumming alone. QOTSA are an awesome band regardless of whether Grohl played with them or not. [view article]
