The Wildhearts

Bumped in to the great man last night at Dolly Parton.

He says the support for the Wildies tour is an Icelandic band called Sign and a biker band... but I've forgotten their name, doh!

He seemed quite excitable about both tho'

That'll be G.U. Medicine then.

Oh, and Sign. Website

Dolly Parton?

That'll be the bigger-than-melons-boobs for ya.

Cheers Ean...

... and yes, Dolly.
He seemed to be havin a good time in amongst all the drunk girls brandishing pink cowboy hats!

So are these guys any good? What do they sound like?

If you've got sound on your confuser, they've got songs up on the myspaces I linked to at the top.

gu medicine are great (not so sure about their name though!), you may have heard of their previous incarnation called sunlounger.

I quite rate Sign, just been listening to their stuff. Went to Iceland last year, fell in love with the place, going back this year for the Iceland Airwaves music festival. I'm gonna try to get to Koko early to catch em live. Bring on April!

I went to Iceland between Christmas & New Year. Mega expensive!!! Looking forward to seeing Sign. My Partner in Crime, Jo Squirrel, has been telling me how good they are live for ages!

Just bought their album, 'Thank God For Silence', I'm a bit pissed but it sounds flipping good. Pretty strong band to be opening the show. So arm squirrel are you going to any of the gigs? I'm going to the London one, i seriously cannot wait!!!!

GU Medicine seem to be regarded fairly highly in stoner rock circles. Which can only be a good thing. (But maybe I'm saying that because I've been listening to far too much Monster Magnet lately..)

From their Myspace, Sign sound pretty good too.

Mm, it's nice when support bands are actually worth watching!

Just the London show I'm afraid.

Same as that for me, arm squirrel, if you're at the pre gig list meet then I'll see ya there for a beer mate.

Hopefully, as it's a Sunday, there'll be a good turn out for the meet-up.

Someone with more luck had better organise it though, as I'm currently 2 for 2 on failed meetings. 1 pub shut on gig night, 1 pub shut down months (years?) before. Hmmm
