Listening to their album this morning after reading five star review in the Grauniad. Loving it so far. Recommended.
I wouldn't advise listening to Pillow Queens in that case. They really go hard on the Dub accent.I find the guys voice really overly "Dub" at times to the point wheres it's annoying. I've no idea how non irish people would take to that?
Probably wouldn’t even notice it.I find the guys voice really overly "Dub" at times to the point wheres it's annoying. I've no idea how non irish people would take to that?
I don't know. Seems like he's just talking sometimes instead of actually singing.Probably wouldn’t even notice it.
Well, they might but doubt it would be a problem. No stronger than Mike Skinner's accent, or Mark E Smith.
Oh right, yeah. That’s more about the delivery than the accent. Which is a bit unusual. Also reminds me of Mark E Smith actually.I don't know. Seems like he's just talking sometimes instead of actually singing.
Where are they playing?Seeing the lads for the 7th and 8th times today, in-store in Rough Trade and The Garage in Islington in the evening. Last chance to catch 'em in a relatively small venue. Can't wait.
Anyone going in Dublin in December?
Vicar Street. First night sold out but announced a second show. 8th DecemberWhere are they playing?
No love for Pillow Queens?I wouldn't advise listening to Pillow Queens in that case. They really go hard on the Dub accent.
Oh no, I'm a PQ fan for sure. Seen them 5/6 times now. @Massive Spanner said he doesn't like the fact Grian sings in a thick Dublin accent and I was just making the point that Pam in PQ does too, which can sometimes be a bit overbearing. I prefer when Sarah sings.No love for Pillow Queens?
Any connection to our fontaine?
Hahaha no worries. You’re a man of taste and my cousin is in Pillow Queens so was double checking!Oh no, I'm a PQ fan for sure.

Ah deadly, they're class. So much good Irish music at the moment.Hahaha no worries. You’re a man of taste and my cousin is in Pillow Queens so was double checking!
Ooiiiim nah a rah, if yooiir nah a rah...Oh no, I'm a PQ fan for sure.

I just heard this exact line in a podcast...while I have it on good authority that Girl Band will have a new album this year.
Psh, don't be listening to Hanratty, although he's a United fan so I'll forgive his musical opinions.I just heard this exact line in a podcast
Do you podcast, Zebs?
No way, I've probably been in touch with you over the yearsPsh, don't be listening to Hanratty, although he's a United fan so I'll forgive his musical opinions.
Nah, I run GoldenPlec. No podcast yet, but I'm moving home from London next week and it's in the plans.
You wouldn't be the first Caf member to do so! Who are ya? PM if you want.No way, I've probably been in touch with you over the years
To be fair, there's a lot of musicians I know who have a problem with them over the Noisey article and would agree with the joe.ie one.
I refer you to this post from above.Though, Ireland being Ireland, there's already articles like this:

I hope not, for their sakeAny connection to our fontaine?
Just got round to listening to Dogrel and I have to say Mark E Smith with a thick Irish brogue came immediately to mind, especially on Cha Cha Cha. Very good album.Oh right, yeah. That’s more about the delivery than the accent. Which is a bit unusual. Also reminds me of Mark E Smith actually.
Still listening to the album now. It’s really solid. No weak tunes at all.
Girl Band pre-released new stuff about two days ago. Already gone, with another 350 made.Fontaines seem to have let it drop that Girl band are about to get back on the road and that they'll be playing with them. That would be pretty cool. Although it'll have to be in the 3 arena at the rate the hype machine is working.
