RIP: The Cooper Temple Clause (2000-2007)

[Ril]

They're great! ^_^

[MicroWavesMeInsane]

Yup......So much hair, it's amazin

[Ril]

Yeah let's do some Cooper rockin'!

[MicroWavesMeInsane]

Let's all grow cooper hair......................no? just me then

[Sarah]

When I was 15.. yeah. Now? No. YUCK @ THEIR HAIR.

[4Q Im Manx]

:cool: they should become Neo Nazi Skinheads. That'd rock... ;) controversial.






I do not condone the political stance of the Neo Nazis. they should all be pissed on.*un-zips his flies*

[Larsen B]

strangely enough as soon as i read that, i could see it perfectly in my mind, just the style of course not the whole political shennanigans

[glasskite]

The hair doesn't impress me anymore.

[Sarah]

The hair doesn't impress me anymore.
It's NASTY.
Although.. Kieran does look alreet.

[Neil]

Phwoar @ Coopers music

[inn]

They're great! ^_^

you done the cooper song prt 3 yet? ;)

[Ril]

No. Why, have you? ;)

[BurgerQueen]

Ah yes the cooper boys are genius and they are worth the total sum of their toni and guy hair cuts!

[inn]

No. Why, have you? ;)

nah i thought id leave it up to you and your genius songwritting skills :D ;)

[fightstar]

I saw them, nyeh nyeh. ^_^

[little troll]

I think they are one of the most original bands I've heard recently. The way they mix various styles of music and different moods and tunes. Their albums could vary more though.

[gremlin]

Coopers are a great band.
Me likes alot.
I'd like them even more if they decided to come over here and play at the Oxegen with an e festival.

[Honey Ryder]

I am seeing them in just over a week. NYC, here I come.

Phwoar at Kieran's beard. :p

[Sarah]

Which one? ;)

[Honey Ryder]

Both. Mwahahaaaaa

[Decades]

Oh yes. Now we're talking...

[Honey Ryder]

They were ace, they played so well. And I also have to say that they are some of the sweetest guys I have ever met in the music business.

I am so glad I went. Yay to the Coopers.

*big hugs to them all*

[Larsen B]

ive probably said this in here but,

i think the coopers are a great band right now, they can only get better IMO, the experimental take is quite unique and seems like a cross between Radiohead's electronicy stuff and Mars Volta's endless jams, with a good dose of propa rock thrown in..
they are the new future i think

[Nancuk]

yeees love this band. They're great on cd AND live! Now there's a find...

[apya]

they're pretty sweet! listened to fans on here and went searching for their disc... just came out last week (in the States). seein' 'em in Detroit tomorrow nite. have no idea what their hair looks like. :-/

[cir]

....I found this topic, I had searched long time!!! But now I'm here...and I think this band is amazing...I can't stop listen to that...

[glasskite]

Bollocks to the coopers. Traitors to the cause.

[Oranges of Sympathy]

Go Team Cooper!

they're rocking my ass at the moment. thanks, Muse, you got me into that one when they were only ickle. Tom is my favourite. he's liek,,.... woah!!!!!111!!!!111!!!!!!1!!!!!! teh sxe!!!!11111!!!1!!!!1111!!!!!!

[glasskite]

Team Cooper can mostly go and shove their heads up their respective favourite members arses.

[Grimmy]

wincy, you love the coopers, i knows it ;)

[Sarah]

Their heads are firmly implanted up their arse. I, however, find certain members of the band to be fucking genius for various comments said to various members of Team Cooper.

Myohmy.

It was worth hearing all the bollocks just for that comment alone. :D

[glasskite]

wincy, you love the coopers, i knows it ;)
sdfjhsgouwhrkgn stupid band. I don't have my tongue stuck up their arses though, like most people who've posted in this thread wanking over them and how great they are.

And Sarah that comment was comedy gold when i finally noticed it. Can't believe some people think thats a compliment.

[Zerø]

Bollocks to the coopers. Traitors to the cause. What they done now? o_O

[glasskite]

What they done now? o_O
Sold out to the yanks and abandoned us :/

[glasskite]

Ps: I think tom's gay.*

*comment due to accusations towards a lovely evil man called rupert.

[Sarah]

Gay & blind. He'd have to be. :D

[Zerø]

Sold out to the yanks and abandoned us :/ Ah I see...

They are going to come back and make a song called "Cheeseburger" ?

[avalondep]

i'd also like to thank muse for getting me into the coopers when they first came out. though i distinctly remember not liking them at that gig... probably because i didn't really understand them, or their music at the time, and they didn't seem particularly confident in announcing themselves. it was weird because that very same day, i bought a copy of kerrang and there was a review of their Hardware EP in there praising their EP, and I only realised how good they actually were until i heard their recorded stuff... I met them after that gig too. I was convinced Tom looked like my mate's brother (who is also in a band)... he was very very drunk, and that Ben looked identical to the fittest guy in my school at the time (so much so, that I was going over to say hi to "James" before realising it was in fact, a member of TCTC)

i met them again when they postponed their cambridge gig due to Tom hurting their back (i was "late" and thought they were just sitting outside waiting for their support to finish, but got them to sign my warfare EP instead)
That was highly embarrasing as my dad came with me, and was telling them that "Pink Floyd would still go on with the show in a wheelchair" and all that sort of stuff (my dad does a lot of work with Pink Floyd and other rock'n'roll royalty bands, so thought these guys were amateurs)
and i saw Didz at Paddington another year later... ahh... can never get enough of TCTC.

[glasskite]

Show off :rolleyes:

[BurgerQueen]

Show off :rolleyes:
:LOL:

(10 is a magic number)

[BurgerQueen]

have no idea what their hair looks like. :-/
The suspense!

[Cerpin]

Any band that can make me appreciate powerchords again deserves my respect :)

[inn]

Pah i wish they would come and do some Uk fests dammit

[Sarah]

They are doing IOW?
Not sure about that. Definately don't seem to be any plans to do Reading/Leeds/Glasto/T/Move. They are busy elsewhere. But I'd expect something in Autumn.

Headlining gigs are always better anyway!

[inn]

Ah I agree their own gigs seem much better, seen them in a tent at leeds and at carling birg, both excellente.

Ah I dunno just would be ncie if they did leeds/reading etc would brighten up th lineup for me anyway, there arent many bands Im going nuts about seeing there at the mo :S

Dunno what they're planning to do at the moment...cept that US tour thing with the cure and muse or such

[glasskite]

I heard rumours. but hush.

No festivals this yr though.

[Sarah]

Hmm. If I was you, I would be having a sexual spasm over the fact that dEUS & Soulwax will be gracing the Leeds/Reading stage.

& yeah. Hmm. I have to hush about any plans. Rumours innit. Thought they were doing IOW though or that might be a dream.

[glasskite]

They're not even reliable rumours, who on earth in their right mind trusts a pissed up trev and james anyway?

[Sarah]

Heh. True. Such a bad idea to give them any responsibility. Wouldn't be so bad if they weren't the type trying to make others jealous over absolutely nothing. :/

[glasskite]

Cos people are retarded. I'm not jealous exactly, but it does annoy me that they get so up themselves cos they know a couple of bands. And the fact that "discretion" isn't a word that belongs in any of that lot's vocab.

[Sarah]

Hah.

[inn]

Hmm. If I was you, I would be having a sexual spasm over the fact that dEUS & Soulwax will be gracing the Leeds/Reading stage.

& yeah. Hmm. I have to hush about any plans. Rumours innit. Thought they were doing IOW though or that might be a dream.

hmm i havent heard much of deus of soudlwax, though i suppose that hints I should check them out.

[musefreak]

i'm disgusted.
they cancelled the only festival date they were to do in germany to go to the states...and i was about to go to the festival just because of them!!!! :mad:

it's so long ago i've seen them the last time, it was in may 2002...i want them back!!!
yeah, they're a really awesome band...soooo much energy...especially onstage...

[glasskite]

They toured Germany twice in the summer/autumn last year. Its not like they haven't been back. And they basically said they went back too early the second time cos the people who turned up gave a rather lukewarm reception. So I wouldn't be surprised if it takes till at least october before they go back.

[musefreak]

yeah, i know!!!

but when they were here in summer, i was in france
and in october i already went to see placebo and muse...so there was no money left... :'(

not giving up... :D

[glasskite]

Thats not their fault. If you were that big a fan, none of that would matter. And you would have saved enough money to see them for autumn. :rolleyes:

[musefreak]

never said i was THAT a big fan!
they're a really awesome band, but there other bands who are more important to me... for example muse or placebo...

whatever... :rolleyes:

[glasskite]

Lol just kidding you know? But its not their fault they toured and you missed them.

[musefreak]

of course it's not their fault :)
that would be a silly thing to say...
my fault...silly me :rolleyes:

[glasskite]

They were great last night, and both Austin and Didz played, turning the 6 piece into a 7 piece, the stage was a bit messy, but the sound was good. There was feeling in there.

And my fav roadie of theirs is back! yay.

[daniela]

:D i regret not going to see them when they played in northampton, argh.
is the hardware/warfare(sp?) rare/worth much? ive got a copy lying around:D

[Sarah]

The double CD of the EPs?
I have that. Probably worth a fiver. Maybe a tenner.

[daniela]

The double CD of the EPs?
I have that. Probably worth a fiver. Maybe a tenner.

yep thats it. ill wait 10 years before flogging it on ebay then....:D

[Sarah]

Austen is the future. I hope they become a seven piece!

[glasskite]

If they do then i bagsie the new bassist!

[Ril]

Cooper Cooper Cooper!

[glasskite]

That gig last night was a blinder. I have so many bruises its unbelievable.

[Potatomon]

I'm not sure about that new bassist guy. He's not Cooper enough. He looks like he should be in a nasty porn film or something. I think he even had the moustache.

Ace gig though was too bloody hot there, they need to sort out their air con. I nearly died from sweating/dancing/trying to breathe.

[Sarah]

Beard. Not moustache.
I'll fight ya Wince. Maybe he could be shared in a sort of timeshare type deal?

[Caff]

Thanks to Coopers last night...I am now deaf in one ear. All I can hear is ringing. I hope they're happy that I probably won't sleep for the second night running :p.

[Britrock]

Gah, I so wanted to be at that gig. Bloody work. The Garage is a great venue as it is, and the Coopers.... :'(

[glasskite]

Thanks to Coopers last night...I am now deaf in one ear. All I can hear is ringing. I hope they're happy that I probably won't sleep for the second night running :p.
You were standing WAY too near the speakers, thats why i didn't want to stay there. I on the other hand got stepped on loads and kicked in the head by at least 5 blokes including a couple of coopers stage diving. I am covered in multiple bruises and also some bloke groped my arse and started drumming along to music box on said buttocks. But of course you gals are on lj and know this already hehe.

[glasskite]

Beard. Not moustache.
I'll fight ya Wince. Maybe he could be shared in a sort of timeshare type deal?
Aye twas v much a beard, and he was like a baby cooper, he looked fluffier, if you know what i mean.

And i'll agree to a time share if you give me time on Pete Hayes. :D

[Sarah]

Mehehe. It's a deal. Mmm.

[inn]

Damn you people who went, I was going to go for the manc one but woe is me I was working grr...

[Honey Ryder]

Aye twas v much a beard, and he was like a baby cooper, he looked fluffier, if you know what i mean.

I know exactly what you mean...the hotter it got in there, the fluffier his hair went. Awwwww

[inn]

Just in case anyone is interested..

[inn]

mwhaha I have a tctc set list! :D

[Bubble Wrap]

Aww, I wanna see them live!

I'll have to wait a bit though, recover...see Muse...then think about other gigs.

[Gemsy]

<3 TCTC.
Such mostly excellent driving music. :D

[Ironlunged]

TCTC = Pure awesomeness.
They were unbelievably phenomenal at Curiosa, too.

[Istya]

They were unbelievably phenomenal at Curiosa, too.

Very true. Too bad NO ONE was watching them at the MA show. Well, I take it back, twenty people were physically near the stage, but besides me, only one other person knew who they were and actually cared. They put on an amazing show regardless though; the way they were acting, you'd have thought they were playing to a full arena.

[Sarah]

Second of December. Not that far away! DJ set afterwards too. Heh. I think people are getting excited about them or just remembering they exist again. Hurrah!

[theimpressiveclergyman]

Again, on The List.
Gary will have my head. :unsure:

[Ril]

although i love coopers, i really am too lazy to travel at the moment :(

[El Sophiee]

They're great! ^_^


I totally agree. I've only just into them though... I liked them, heard a few songs on Kick up the fire... then I looked in the shop and all I could find was See this through.., not hearing any songs of it, I bought it anyway :D

Awesome shit

[Sarah]

I adore that album so much. It is one of the only albums of mine that is physically knackered from being overplayed. Until I was given a free copy of the promo. That's kept out of harms way though as I don't want to have to BUY it again..

Sigh.

[freakinthecorner]

Wouldn't be so bad if they weren't the type trying to make others jealous over absolutely nothing. :/

You mean we make you jealous without doing absolutely nothing.

[glasskite]

You mean we make you jealous without doing absolutely nothing.
Double negatives, so you were doing something?

No one cares anymore. And thats a fact.

[Sarah]

Whatever. It's not even worth talking about.

[glasskite]

Its obvious who it is anyway. :rolleyes:

[freakinthecorner]

whatever, austin is producing the baghdads

[glasskite]

Lol. I love you kids.

[Stu]

I've been listening to "See This Through and Leave" quite a lot as of late.

Thought I'd just post this fact for no particular reason. :)

[Gemsy]

Haha, me too. Promises Promises is my song of the week. :D

[Sarah]

Uh, Didz has left the band today. He has also joined The Libertines, innit.

Also, www.myspace.com/thecoopertempleclause has a new song of theirs on it.

[Caff]

Wow I am so out of touch with Coopers news.

[glasskite]

Well to be fair it was literally only announced today. Proper news heh.

That and the Libs fans knew about this before the TCTC forum did.

[Clunge]

:eek:

Is that actually true?

Bleh, The Coopers are such a cool band, I've been searching desperately for their first album.

[Gemsy]

Uh, Didz has left the band today. He has also joined The Libertines, innit.

:indiff: Libs?!
What a n00b. :(

[Sarah]

:eek:

Is that actually true?

Bleh, The Coopers are such a cool band, I've been searching desperately for their first album.

It's not hard to find..

[Britrock]

The new songs sounded pretty cool at Reading. Why would you leave the Coopers for a rehashed version of an old band?

[Sarah]

Cos the band would bring in more money & more fame, he has a baby to support.

[Britrock]

Well, (kinda) makes sense then. Didn't follow them close enough to know that.

[Ril]

When are they gonna tour the UK again? Come on dudes!

[Mort]

So, any news on who's replacing Didz?

I used to think Didz was so cool. He's failed me :(

[Clunge]

New album = when?

[Sarah]

No one is replacing Didz & apparently May time.

[BlackoutMatt]

I keep trying to like TCTC, but...argh...

*shrugs*

meh...

and words/actions to a similar effect...I just can't be bothered with them.

the other day I thought I liked 'Who Needs Enemies?', but listening to it again, I can't see it anymore...

'Promises Promises' is quite fun though...and I quite like 'Blind Pilots' aswell.

[Sarah]

You only listened to singles, I take it, since you've just named three?

[Ril]

So, any news on who's replacing Didz?

I used to think Didz was so cool. He's failed me :(
:LOL:

[BlackoutMatt]

You only listened to singles, I take it, since you've just named three?

oh no, that's just a coincidence. I've listened to lots of album stuff, and...yeah, doesn't do a whole lot for me.

[Sarah]

Oh right. Well, if I had first heard their albums I wouldn't be a fan or much of one at all.

You tried any of their b-sides?

I'm going to go out on a limb & assume you like or don't mind iLiKETRAiNS just because they are very very similar to b-side TCTC.

[Mort]

No one is replacing Didz.
Okie dokies. Cheersies.

[BlackoutMatt]

Oh right. Well, if I had first heard their albums I wouldn't be a fan or much of one at all.

You tried any of their b-sides?

I'm going to go out on a limb & assume you like or don't mind iLiKETRAiNS just because they are very very similar to b-side TCTC.

well I downloaded the tracks that Dominic upped on thee board, apparently all of them...I don't mind Stainless Steel and the other tracks off that EP...or whatever it was (a demo perhaps?)...but yeah, the rest doesn't blow me away really...

I'd still see both bands live.

[NoteToSelf]

talking to a brick wall is my favourite song ever ever ever ever ever ever...

[reenap]

Saw them supporting Muse @ Brixton back when and spent the entire time trying to work out if they were called 'claws' or 'clause' :stunned:

[Ril]

talking to a brick wall is my favourite song ever ever ever ever ever ever...
:rolleyes:

[Sophie.]

I was discussing Reading with my piano teacher a week or so ago, and I mentioned that Muse were (supposedly) headlining, and he just said "Oh, my friends supported them on their OOS tour."

So my piano teacher knows TCTC. And he was also asked to play keyboards for Black Sabbath. One cool dude.

[Mort]

Can you tell him to give Didz a swift, hard kick somewhere uncomfortable?

[Dramatic Hammer]

Saw them supporting Muse @ Brixton back when and spent the entire time trying to work out if they were called 'claws' or 'clause' :stunned:
Haha me too - I think all we heard was 'claaaawwwwwss' and were clueless for ages !

[Gemsy]

:( didz

I hope the Coople Doople Paws do Reading again. :)

[skinwah]

The Cooper Temple Clause exist anymore?

At my new job one the dude's iPods plays them on random and I just remembered seeing them when they supported Moose at Brixton in 2001

[Clunge]

Yup, good band.

Use the search and you'll find their thread.

[tjej]

Didn't Didz leave or summit?

[inn]

Ohhhh yesh...

I'm so happy about this. I ordered tickets for Leeds earlier <3 <3 <3

[Gemsy]

OMG THE WEDGE! :eek:
Remind me to book tickets!

[inn]

They're playing the underground at stoke, that venue is sooooo small, and fantastic last time they played :D I can't wait

[inn]

*jealous*
Awww if you can fly over you can come too :LOL:

[Gemsy]

The Wedge is banging. TCTC would rock it off it's... rocker

[craigacp]

I think I'll be going to the Manc Academy one. Should be good.

[Kazuya vs Ummagumma]

Why do they still play such small venues? they played my uni last year. I felt sorry for them.

[Mort]

Why do they still play such small venues? they played my uni last year. I felt sorry for them.
Cause they is keeping it real!

That and there probably is no way they'd be able to fill bigger ones. They're an ace band but they're just not known much, for some reason. Tis a shame.

[inn]

Why do they still play such small venues? they played my uni last year. I felt sorry for them.

Because small venues are amazing. I've seen some of my fav gigs ever at small venues.

Tctc went through a really good phase after their frst album and them everyone lost interest (chasing after the new nme band or something probably :rolleyes: ) cept some of us crazy fans who still love em.

I'm so glad they're sticking to some real small venues tho. Like Mort said they're kinda 'keeping it real' I would love some band moving up in the world to still go around doing a small venue tour for old times sake or something.

[Gem]

Cause they is keeping it real!

That and there probably is no way they'd be able to fill bigger ones. They're an ace band but they're just not known much, for some reason. Tis a shame.
Yeah.

They've done the same stage at Reading/Leeds fest since about 2001. :stunned: I suppose it's good for us, but they deserve more credit than they get.

Not many people watched them last year, they were bloody fantastic.

[glasskite]

I love this band. Or I think I still do.

And yeah, theres a hell load of mental fans still hanging about, they're all coming out of the woodwork. I'm in Manc and London so far. Brum, Leeds, Sheffield, Preston, Reading, Notts and Stoke are maybes, but likely to be probably nots.

I hate having no money when all my fave bands go on tour! :'(

[inn]

I will be doing Stoke and Brum :) Tho if I wanted to I could probably easily do Notts as well, but nah 2 is enough for me :D

[glasskite]

Aye its more than enough for most people but for some stupid reason it feels wrong if I don't see a band more than once on their tours. Esp this one.

I hate this band. :(

[inn]

Ah you love em you hate em ;)

I'm sure there's plenty of nicely spread out venues to get to when the time comes and the funding for it.

[Mort]

. Like Mort said they're kinda 'keeping it real' I would love some band moving up in the world to still go around doing a small venue tour for old times sake or something.
I was takeing the piss :$

[Clunge]

new album when where what how good?

[Mort]

how good?
Without Didz... who knows. :(

[Clunge]

Did he join Dirty Pretty Turds?

[Mort]

Did he join Dirty Pretty Turds?
Mmmmmhmmm. :(

[Clunge]

Aaiuryauiyritrgrhagrjhagryig$u!g!u£

Spoiling and awesome band for a shit band :'(.

[Sarah]

Cannot be arsed to go for that price in the venues chosen.

I wasn't excited in the least when it was announced they are touring.

[Clunge]

FUCKING EXAMS ARE WRECKING MY FUCKING LIFE :'(

I can't go :(.

[Ril]

I will be doing Stoke and Brum :) Tho if I wanted to I could probably easily do Notts as well, but nah 2 is enough for me :D
Not if I don't give you your tickets! ;) :p

[inn]

Not if I don't give you your tickets! ;) :p

You've had enough fudge to ensure that security :p

[Ril]

You've had enough fudge to ensure that security :p
Pff that fudge only lasted me as far as Rotterdam. :p

[inn]

Pff that fudge only lasted me as far as Rotterdam. :p

You didn't ration it well enough :p

[Ril]

I knows. :(

But I got stroopwafels now, so you can stick your crumby fudge hehehe! :D

[inn]

I knows. :(

But I got stroopwafels now, so you can stick your crumby fudge hehehe! :D

Ohhh, fine :p no more fudge for you ;)

[leetroot]

anyone heard any stuff AD?

[Cerpin]

Anno Didz?

[Sarah]

At Oxford last year, yeah. S'shit so far..

[leetroot]

Anno Didz?

no After Didz !

[Ril]

There's a couple of songs on myspace I've heard, but I dunno whether Didz was playing on them.

[saphene]

I have tickets to see them in May:D Can't wait, it's been 2 years since I've seen them, which is too long...

[Ril]

I wonder when my tickets will arrive. :(

[inn]

I wonder when my tickets will arrive. :(
I don't know, but I got an email about the other tickets basically saying 'Sorry for the delay we'll send em out as soon as we get them'

If you don't get em by tomorrow I'll ring up and check the postal address if you want. But I think it should be right.

[inn]

Ril, I sent an email bout tctc tickets to you.

Should be sorted now...

[Ril]

Cool, I'll read it. They didn't arrive again today. :(

[leetroot]

anyone downloaded the new single yet?
i keep getting page not available.

[Caff]

Hmm it's "generic".

[Sarah]

Aye, it's shite. I couldn't even finish listening to the track.

[Caff]

Aye, it's shite. I couldn't even finish listening to the track.

I wanted to say shite, but thought I'd try and be nice ;).

Their first two albums were so good as well :(.

[Sarah]

Well, their first one was. The second was good in parts.

The third one is going to be shocking.. I can sense it.

[Wowee Zowee]

ha ha

[inn]

Anyone got a link or such for it? Or is it up on their myspace?

[leetroot]

it's on drowned in sound

more on their web site next week i think

[inn]

it's on drowned in sound

more on their web site next week i think

Cool, I'll check it out....erm is that drownedinsound.com or something?

Ah ok I just listened to it...erm....it's well...I wouldn't consider it tctcy, its catchy but lacks a little something that makes it stand out from any other indie song which is what made tctc soooo damn good.

Oh :/

[Ril]

Oh yeah, forgot to tell you that!

Ooh next Friday, isn't it?

[inn]

Oh yeah, forgot to tell you that!

Ooh next Friday, isn't it?

yeah next friday, its a sold out gig too so it's gona be packed :/

[glasskite]

Next Thurs in london is gonna be a mental gig. I just sense me and my friends are gonna be disappointed. Report on the first gig was disappointing to say the least. Band played for just about an hr, maybe 5 old songs, all the rest were new. Sounded like they do need a proper bass player.

Nah the birmingham one. Which is sold out too. I'll be worried if the stoke one sold out cause that's a small venue as it is.

[craigacp]

The song really is disappointingly bland. Hmm I think the Academy 2 still has tickets, but I've not actually been to a gig in it yet.

[glasskite]

I'd have thought there'd be loads of tickets left for academy 2. Don't reckon Coopers could sell that place out any time soon.

People have told me that Damage sounds a lot better live these days, and that the new Panzer Attack sounds great.

Is academy 2 the main hall or the one inside the union building? I always get mixed up with the numbers.

1st floor inside union building.

[Chizzleface]

1st floor inside union building.
that's poor, i thought the clause were bigger than that, that room's tiny.

[glasskite]

They were, just not anymore. They sold out main academy a few years back... And academy 2 holds about 1000 I think? Its big enough for where the band are at the moment. Some of the venues they're playing are only 400 capacity.

[leetroot]

i wasted too much time debating whether to go or not and the wedgies has sold out so i will rely on you lot for reviews...

[craigacp]

Well it was quite good tonight. The first support band were good, but the second were emo shite. The Coopers were good, Damage seemed much better live than it does on the download. They didn't play Who Needs Enemies? though, the bastards.

[Clunge]

What else did they play out of interest?

I love to see songs like Been Training Dogs, Film-Maker, New Toys, The Same Mistakes, etc live.

Who were supporting?

And yeah I agree, since hearing it live I've started to like damage more.

Erm first one was My Architects, and the second one began with a K, and I promptly forgot them they were so bad.

Clunge - I think they played all of those.

[inn]

How many old tracks did they play?

I don't think they did too many in brum the again it felt like a short set anyway.

We had someone called Howling Bells supporting there.

Goin to stoke gig, I hope they play a long badass set with lots of olde stuffs :cool:

*wishful thinking*

[Ril]

Ooh how cool is it that I made this thread. :happy:

They played a fairly even amount of old and new stuff, slightly weighted towards the old stuff I think.

People....

I got "Kick up the fire yada yada" or something similar to it. Second album? I liked Promises Promises and Blind Pilots a lot....

IS the other album good?

Would I find anything I like on it considering the tracks I liked from the other one?

Hehe vague and stupid I know but meh... maybe someone can help.

[destructiveaesthetic]

the first album is SO much better. I love these guys. Am I the only one who was miffed when the backstabber (didzy) left? cos that seems to be the case. wasn't he the one who made them wait to do new material cos he wanted to raise his kid and then once that time was up, ''hey I'm going over to DPT''...

The first album is quality, and superior to their second in my opinion. :happy:

Hmm try and listen to tracks like Film Maker if you can. That will give you a good feel for the album. :)

Erm... really wasn't the case, Didz leaving the band has fuck all to do with why the new stuff has taken so long. And I don't blame him for leaving, DPT was a much more lucrative prospect and considering he now has a young family, I can totally understand why. If you wanna blame someone for why things have seemed so fucked for so long, blame a record company who demands songs that they think are "marketable" over creativity...

I wouldn't say upset, though it is disappointing when your favourite member of a band leaves. What can you do though? The Coopers obviously don't hold grudges over that and neither should the fans in my opinion.

[rageagainstmachine]

whats happened to them lately!!? i bought tickets to see them in october in glasgow, they only cost £11 each! where as my muse tickets cost 28 bucks! 11 pounds is a damn right bargain imo, awesom band!

ps. I was listening to tctc earlier to keep the thread micro on topic ;)

[rageagainstmachine]

what about me buying a 2 tickets fort the TCTC, tuts gig? doubt it!

[destructiveaesthetic]

I've booked mine for London, I'm right excited.

So I met Didz when DPT played last night in NYC and he's definitely not touring with them...I was oh so disheartened. I told him this repeatedly as to shame him and make him rejoin the Coopers but it really didn't work *le sigh*.

Any news of a new album?

[Ril]

Hey team, just heard that Ian Camfield may be giving Homo Sapiens it's first ever spin tonight on XFM London. Tune in on 104.9 and feel free to bombard him with texts on 83936. Show starts at 10. Thanks Ian!
TCTC xxx

[Bewilders]

My friend told me about their promotion CD's. They put a blank CD in there, and inside the CD case, they put "Download our songs from our site" or something along them lines.
I thought that was genius. :LOL:

Late January now.

We've been waiting all these years, a few more months shouldn't be too hard...

Their gig at Koko was amazingly (esp for that venue) totally spot on. Fans were fantastic, sounded brilliant.

I'd only heard about 4 songs. They didnt really grab me. I found it funny reading this thread before i went to the gig and you guys saying how they have toni & guy hair cuts:LOL: i kept looking at a couple of them and going shit yeah posers:D whats up with the drummer having silly sun glasses?

Pfft, you're not a real fan only listening to 4 songs when it was a 14 song set. :p

And the Toni and guy haircuts were so 3 yrs ago too. Drummer - they're not silly, he probably hungover and doesn't like all the lights shining in his eyes on stage.

The fans weren't fantastic...just drunk and moshy. The kids we were next to for most of it kept chanting Coo-PERS and Ben was like 'yes that's us' every time. But really it was a great gig.

[glasskite]

Thats what they've always been like since the old days - the best moshy gigs I've been to and everyone sings along.

[Caff]

KoKo wasn't as good as the Garage in '04.

[destructiveaesthetic]

yeah I kinda forgot they were metal...I always told myself 'industrial'...but really whats the difference sometimes. I wasn't drunk so moshing wasn't fun...and last time I moshed I lost my favourite converse...and I wasn't wearing proper footwear this time either. I still enjoyed it, it was the first time I got to see them so I can't compare. New stuff is half and half: good and really not sounding too good.

[Dramatic Hammer]

My dad liked them at Brixton '01 (supporting Muse) :) .
So did I, but the last album was a bit gash.... Wouldn't mind seeing them again some time.

[inn]

My fav venues were the last two times I saw them at the underground in stoke. Actually the 04 undergorund one was prob the best.

Some of the new stuff I'm really liking, and some I'm really can't get into even after hearing them many time live now.

Some photos if anyone tis interested:
