[Dust Junky]

Omg amazing, I remember the punk all dayer's with these guys at the Army&Navy in Chelmsford, Essex, back when I lived in the UK. Use to have a few pints with the singer before hand, and one of them had a seat trailor thing on the back of his bike and 3 of is fitted on it and went over the overpass, was crazy **** then My mate Matt from Huxter got dragged along on his board on it and then shot over onto a ramp. ahhh good old days.

Beer + Women + Punk = Great times.

[TakeWarning]

Awesome.

[skateMASTERbater2]

I'd kill to go to that show :(

since i failed at getting to their last gig, i might look in to this

[TakeWarning]

I would go to this, but frankly it's not really worth going to England for.

[Dust Junky]

I would go to this, but frankly it's not really worth going to England for.

Nothing is =p

[TakeWarning]

Nah, I'd go to see Spurs in the FA Cup Final.

[Microwave meals & ideals]

Filaments playing again?! Amazing!! And playing with Deadline no less! This is a show well worth traveling for. Anyone who failed to see the Filaments before I recommend you go, you won't be disapointed!

[Anti-Prefix]

[Drop The Baby]

I've seen them four times, including their last gig. This will be soo much fun.

Deadline are also excellent

[DaveToopes]

That doesn't make sense, maybe you're talking about the Flatliners?

[<---NoFX--->]

Nick, we should go, it would be Mega Doughnuts times infinite

[Minty]

Omgomgomg. I need to go to that!

I've seen them about 5-6 times before, but i missed their last show :(

[<---NoFX--->]

I've only seen them once, they were play with Adequate Seven, for some reason they only played at 20 minute set

[Minty]

Was that at The Croft? Because i was there!

[<---NoFX--->]

It was

[Minty]

Gotta love the AD7 boys...and C*E :D

Did you go to Five Knuckles last show?

[<---NoFX--->]

[Minty]

Whats your name? Do you know Stu? I miss Stu =[ he was a great laugh.

[Microwave meals & ideals]

The last Five Knuckle show was without a doubt the best I've ever seen. Even if Club UK is the hotest, strickest, shitest venue on the face of the earth.

Tom we gotta go! Filaments + Deadline = lessthanthree

[Brothel_Creeper]

reformed in less than a year.

for ****s sake, i hate bands that do this. but i'll probably be there

[Liebensaft]

You guys weren't kidding about Skulls and Trombones. ****ing awesome.

What's funny is there's this super tiny kid in my gym class with a high pitched voice and a deformed hand, and we call him squeak, but his real name's Trevor. And whenever that song comes on I think of him.

[Minty]

Dude, that was the hottest day of the year aswell.

Insanely hot. But without a doubt, one of the best gig's i've been to!

[Jessizzle]

Wait, this is only for one show right?

[Drop The Baby]

[Liebensaft]

I'm going to be in London on the 25th of March!! But I leave before Punk Unity Fest :(.

[KingOfSka]

The Filaments are good. I made a music video in my DFT class for Bastard Coppers. It was pretty good.

[sketchyjoe]

I'm going to be in London on the 25th of March!! But I leave before Punk Unity Fest :(.
Are you going to be in London on the 21st? Against Me! are playing then.

[DaveToopes]

Why are you going to England Joe?

[smokersdieyounger]

HAVE TO GO! Filaments are one of my all time favourite bands.

[Drop The Baby]

Are you going to be in London on the 21st? Against Me! are playing then.

I'm considering going to that. I've never been a huge fan, i've never really bothered to check them out properly. If i find myself with the night off from work then i'll probably go.

[Theramed]

Is it a good ideafor the threadstarter to put the names of people going on the first post like the wasted thread? or not

[Drop The Baby]

Could be, i'm sure they'll be a couple of us. At least for with me, you, Joe and Ciaran.

[Untitled]

Where is it going be?

[Drop The Baby]

The Garage, in Highbury, North London.

[Untitled]

Bah, they should come up here. Thats too far.

[Drop The Baby]

I am gonna get so drunk that day it's not even funny.

[Theramed]

I am gonna get so drunk that day it's not even funny.

me too, its gunna be so good

[Liebensaft]

Are you going to be in London on the 21st? Against Me! are playing then.
Oh Em Gee times a million. Joe, I love you. And yeah, I'm not leaving London. I'm going to send the link to my mom. Thank you very much.

And Ethan, I'm going to London with my mom on a school trip (the school she teaches at).

[albert_bass]

I've read about this, I wish I could go...


I might get the Toy Dolls but you bastards get The Filaments! My friend is obsessed with them, when he read this and figured he couldn't go he was depressed.

[Chap Stick]

Wow I wish I could go to this. The Filaments are so great. My favorite song is probably either Police Bastard or Trevor. Both albums are awesome.

[Liebensaft]

Isn't Police Bastard a song by Doom?

I guess the Filaments do a cover. Haha so does Erik Petersen.

[AIRIC]

2 Different songs. Police Bastard is by Doom though, too.

[Scabies]

bastard coppers you mean...

[AIRIC]

Yes. That's what I mean.


I knew Police Bastard didn't sound right.

[DaveToopes]

Police Bastard is super catchy, so is BPC.

<3 the Filaments

[Drop The Baby]

[sketchyjoe]

I've been listening to them all day.

Does anyone know where I can find the lyrics for What's Next?

[POINTLESS5448]

[sketchyjoe]

I checked there first.

[skateMASTERbater2]

someone posted all the lyrics on here, can't remember who though
I think it was Dave

[superskankinactionhero]

i think that was me, i remember writing them all up for dave, i'll see if i've still got the file

[superskankinactionhero]

voila....

****, anyone know how to attach word files? or shall i just post the entire thing?

[sketchyjoe]

If you could post it or e-mail it sketchyjoe@gmail.com that'd be awesome.

[Drop The Baby]

I've been listening to them all day.


Same.

I remember Dave said you copied them all up for him Adam.

This gig will be amazing

[Scabies]

what does everyone think of the filaments spin off bands?

[AIRIC]

Suicide Bid are good.

[DaveToopes]

Suicide Bid are GREAT!

[Theramed]

alright i'm leavin in about 30 minutes (cause were doin this london day thing aswell) this is what i look like http://www.myspace.com/jimj86. and my name is jimmy or dop feel free to say hi.

[superskankinactionhero]

what does everyone think of the filaments spin off bands?

the ambition suck :naughty:

haha i'm joking man, i went on your page the other day but the tunes wouldn't load, i'll give it another try later. Black Radio are ****ing savage, Suicide Bid are wicked, i'm sure there's more but they stick out in my mind

[superskankinactionhero]

oh, and one lung's solo stuff is ****ing awesome

[MILF Hunter]

One lung IS ****ing awesome

[sketchyjoe]

This gig rocked so hard. The Grit, Deadline and The Filaments were all incredible.

[Flagjacket]

What kind of music are the Grit? I've heard the name before...

[sketchyjoe]

They're at the punk end of the psychobilly spectrum. They're basically punk with a double bass.

[Theramed]

The filaments were amazing. Im not a big fan of deadline but they were still godd. and what i saw of the grit was good too. My only problam was the people on the door me and my freinds were 16 but they wouldnt let us in without id so we had to wait untill our families emailed a photocopy of our bith certificate to get it. So we only got to see the last few of the grits songs.

[skateMASTERbater2]

What songs did they play?(the filaments)

[sketchyjoe]

From what I can remember: Oi! It's the Filaments, Insult to Injury, UK Now, Life's Not a Privilege, Trevor, Punk Unity, Hiroshima, Zombie Jailbreak, Sick Joke, Men of the Law, BPC, Victims, Nation, Bastard Coppers, Patricia and som more that I've forgotten.

[Theramed]

They covered - white man in hammersmith palace and it was sick.

Whats the deal with the filaments at the moment are they just a band now that doesn't gig or is this new split just a one-off thing?

[sketchyjoe]

They covered - white man in hammersmith palace and it was sick.Oh yeah, that was great.

Whats the deal with the filaments at the moment are they just a band now that doesn't gig or is this new split just a one-off thing?
I think the split's just the stuff they wrote before they broke up but didn't get a chance to record.

[Arucard]

This gig was insane. God i love Men Of The Law.

'THE SICK MURDEROUS MEN, OF THE LAW'

/insane pit comes to life

Man i'm so glad i got to see them.

[sketchyjoe]

I got so battered in that Pit. It was awesome. I'm covered in bruises and I ache all over but it was completely worth it.

[superskankinactionhero]

I think the split's just the stuff they wrote before they broke up but didn't get a chance to record.

ahhh no way that's cool

[Drop The Baby]

I'm fairly sure ( i was drunk, and can't properly remember what he looks like)Ciaran grabbed the set list for Sunday's gig before i could get it!

I was there at both friday and saturday, they were both amazing. Deadline were also superb as they always are live.

I was wearing a denim jacket with LOC patches on the front and a big And Outr come The Wolves back patch. On sunday i was right in frony of Jonny for the whole gig so when the pics or film footgae comes out you can see me!

Fair enough, must've been someone who looked a bit like you then. Then again, there's a fair chance they looked nothing like you.

I have currently seen three Filaments last ever gigs. Let's hope for many more!

talking to the guy above you

Sh!t mate, you're a band with Iain? Nice one, just saw it on myspace!
