Reading always has the best line up! Operator Please are from the Gold Coast mate I believe and the Scare are better than the Horrors by a fucking mile!
I really like The Scare too. Holiday sings on a few of their songs on the album. They sound great.
Ah yeah, I meant to just say 'Australia' rather than 'Sydney' with regard to Op Please. Force of habit I suppose...
How hot is Hatherley and her Tele!
you are really an arrogant bastard.
the light doesn't shine from bridezillas arse.
or yours.
Blimey.
Someone's a bit cross today aren't they?
What can I say to that? Bridezilla are the most exciting prospect I have seen for an age and I would point out that the positive press they have received from Drum, 3D World, Brag and even Rolling Stone suggests other people think the same.
Anyway, 'anonymous', I struggle to work out how anyone could take offense to this post. Maybe you are a fan/band member of Operator Please? Well, hell, I've put the band down as a possible to go and see at a festival on the other side of the world. What more do you want? What does it matter if I think another Australian band are better?
The only bands I have suggested not to see are Razorlight and RHCP, and if you are a fan of them, well, then you're not going to listen to what I have to say anyway, are you?
Oh, and the light does shine from my arse. You should see it, it's quite a beautiful sight.
I cant really see much that is very arrogant about this post...
