Serafin

[snapdragon]

Don't think there's a Serafin thread yet - did search, feel free to slap me.

Serafin are quite possibly my second favourite band (after *cough* Muse of course) since randomly seeing them support Inme (why the hell was I at that gig? I don't even like Inme.) Very catchy, original sound, another real 'gotta find out who these guys are' moment. Also saw them at Reading - didn't disappoint.

Best bits have got to be the funky basslines, dangerously exciting lyrics and crazy time signiture manipulation. All they need now is a piano.

Favourite tracks... 'Day by Day', 'One More Way', 'Lethargy', 'Violently Hopefully' and best of all... 'No Happy'.

Any other fans in hiding?

Hey I did't say it would go unrequited.

Stony Sleep are pretty sound.

Stony Sleep are pretty sound.

That was Ben Fox Smith's band before Serafin right? I've never heard their stuff - is it similar?

[Sarah]

Similar. Not as poppy, I guess. Better anyway.

Have to check them out. I'd kinda forgotten about them. Thanks for the reminder.

Have to ask - is your real name Jondalar or are you just a Jean Auel fan?

[Sarah]

I have read them. I wouldn't say I was a fan.
As for Stony Sleep. Good luck. Everything has been deleted. I think.

the EP versions of the tracks are better.

[snapdragon]

the EP versions of the tracks are better.

I mainly agree... apart from on Lethargy. The album version is much much stronger in my opinion, much more bass and drums, and the 'wait til I get in my own space' bit is intense.

No Happy was definitely better on the EP though.

[Elouan]

Hm, i've got a demo of them somewhere.

[Black Velvet]

I heard them first live as support for the band Live. Iw as like, wow they are quite good. Then I went to dl some stuff of them and I was so dissapointed. They are way much better live, their studiostuff just sucks!

[daniela]

i saw them support halo and they were the best band there (there were 4 bands altogether i think), but ive never gotten round to getting some of the tracks, mainly cos ive heard they dont live up to the live versions at all.

[Stuey]

I saw them supporting feeder last year (along with hell is for heroes) thought they were alright then, downloaded a few tracks and now love them, bought the cd and I think it's fantastic, I also have a few stony sleep tracks and I'd say serafin are much better.

At the Muse gig in Rotterdam people were handing out their cd's. It's the one with the gun on the cover right?

[musefreak]

well, the cd i own has their faces on the cover...
anyway, serafin are just amazingly fantastic!!!

especially live, saw them in february and this gig just blew me away it was like so.... WOW !!!!

and the guys are really nice... especially the bass player, ehm... ben ellis, yeah! he's really funny !!!

[gilly]

i love serafin! saw em at leeds fest a couple of years back. they're are indeedy do an awesome band :D

[Paul]

Hmm Serafin. Feeder support act a couple of years ago. They were pretty poor really, I can only remember 1 decent track out of their 6 track set.

[musefreak]

hehe, i read that during the support tour for feeder, the bass player pissed on the fans during the feeder gig.... :LOL:

[Stuey]

Hmm Serafin. Feeder support act a couple of years ago. They were pretty poor really, I can only remember 1 decent track out of their 6 track set.

They're a hell of a lot better recorded from what they were like when they supported feeder, not seen them since then so they may well have improved a lot live as well.

[darthmax]

i love serafin. They are really original i think, and kickarse live. Theyre recording a new album at the moment. Probably my favourite band on a par with muse. and im not just saying that because im on this forum.

[Magdalena]

Ilike the two tracks ive heard :LOL:

[Ril]

hey when are they touring again? i missed them last year :( my cd has the faces on the cover too. is this important?

[musefreak]

Theyre recording a new album at the moment.


really????
wohooo!!!! :D

ah... can't wait to have the chance to see them live again... it will remain one of the best club gigs i've ever been...i think... :happy:

[saphene]

Sorry for resurrecting an ancient thread but I just wanted to say how much I love Serafin:D

I've only seen them once, in October 2003 supporting Frank Black & the Catholics and I really wish they'd come back to Bristol so I could see them again...if they are still together that is...

[Black Velvet]

They are much better live then on cd

[saphene]

I like their album, but I reeeeeeeeealllly wish I could see them live again.

[Black Velvet]

I like their album, but I reeeeeeeeealllly wish I could see them live again.

I've only seen them once, they were support for Live

[Ril]

How is that new album coming along?

[Ril]

Anyone downloaded the mp3s from the website? Some of the acoustics sound pretty cool :)

[Riggy]

*revives*

I've got the album, it's pretty cool.

[Ril]

Well done. :LOL:
