Title: Random story in The Sun about STFC fans, Black Keys
Post by: Give us an S on Tuesday, April 17, 2012, 06:53:06
Bit random, but quite cool. I wonder if they can have a go at following up Kramer doing a song for us  :serenade:

I may just have to buy their album on the strength of this.  Gilbert O'Sullivan and XTC will be tough acts to follow, mind.

They'll always be Boston MA's Big D & The Kids Table.

They played The Furnace (this is about 5 years ago) and mentioned the they saw Swindon play Tranmere (pronounced Tra-mee-ER Rovers) at the CG.

Not me mate.  Chap I know called Ben Corrigan.  I was doing a show with him a couple of years back and the subject came round to us both being STFC fans.  He said, oh hang on have a look at this and showed me a picture he had taken of the band with the arkells behind them.  They had a day off on tour so he took them to the match.  It was a few years ago.  During the times of Andy King. 

Apparently he took them to the CGH as well.  One of them went into the toilets and was accosted by a town fan.  The town fan launched into a scathing attack on gurney and how slow he was but the band fella didnt understand a word of the broad Wiltshire and came out not sure if he'd had an argument or not.

Ben is now tour manager for Fleet Foxes, so maybe he can work his magic again!

Just had an email from Ben the tm.  Can exclusively reveal the match they went to see was against chester in 2007!  1 nil victory with a questionable penalty after 7 minutes.

The sun - up to date with the news as ever.

Five years of loyal support.

It's probably no coincidence that their careers have progressed massively since then.

In other exciting rock n roll news I'm currently on your with Bombay bicycle club. The sound engineer is a pox fan. We're struggling to get along. I'm looking forward to securing the league and watching them drop out of the play offs.

Town End singing Your Team is Looking Good would be marvellous
