no, but i snicked all night, knowing you were there

Did YOU get to see penguins with lasers for eyes and a snow machine?

No...didn't think so. Ha!

Oh wait, you saw the Olsen twins in a towel...touche!

wow, nothing is secret

yes, towlsen twins were great

Can i throw up at the grates?

Thread should be about At The Gates.

Be my guest lokihanns..

It was a weird gig, I couldn't fathom the crowd. You know when you go to a place and look around and think who ARE these people? Where do they normally go...?

They suck arse. Why sing in an american accent

They weren't shit at all... it was just an odd concert, short and a weird venue for a band that isn't that big. There were more people there last night then there were at the residents/chicks on speed gig..

what's with all this anti-Grates vibe around here? they're silly good fun! last i saw them, they had balloons and confetti and they had me bouncing and smiling. its not rocket science, it's just kids having fun. why all the negative vibes?

i've never understand that either, tinyman. i still think they're fab and a load of fun.

i just didn't want to see them at the forum, and had dcf to see.

oops, weird combo sentence between 'i've never understood' and 'i don't understand'

They literally make me nauseous whenever i see them tinyman.

One mans silly good fun is another man's gastritis.

I feel the same way about Metallica lokhanns..

So do i peaches...

I have a sensitive stomach.

To be honest, the first time i ever saw these guys was about half an hour after i tore half the skin off both my hands falling over a kerb running at full pelt. And that i did end up having to go out of the corner to vomit from the shock halfway through their set.

That may add to the sense of nausea.

I do love Bjork however, she has that effect on a lot of people.

I used to hate the Grates with a passion, I saw them at 161 about 3 years ago in my shake some action days and I walked in to hear them playing and said to my friend 'who is this bitch who thinks she's Karen O?'. I then hated Patience because when they did a big day out or something, I had many people say 'wow, have you heard of the grates! you're so much like the singer!' but my man bought their album and I liked them cus they sounded like old no doubt. It's weird how I have to justify my like for a band...i have the most 'uncool' taste in music of anyone i know.

i keep saying this, but when did the grates become a band it's cool to hate?

i must have missed that.

was it after their great debut ep, or their solid debut album?

Has it ever occurred to anyone in the grates camp that they're a very in your face band? It's got nothing to do with it being 'cool' to hate them the just garner a strong reaction from people, and from some people that reaction is strongly negative.

people can post from Splendour? gawd, the technology these days.

they're like be your own pet without the swear words.

the grates > be your own pet

Not so..great?

Most things>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>the grates = be your own pet

Australian + Popular = Easy Target

If they were Swedish, no-one would be coming over so holier-than-thou about them. I'm not a fan but I'd rather listen to them than many many many other bands out there right now.

ubu might.

Don't laugh at PG, either.

Trubu.

DON LAFF AT ME!!!!

If they were swedish, they'd probably be better.

How did Patience get that burn thing on her neck?

It's a birth mark.

It's a birth mark, isn't it? It's not just on her neck.

Kooky + cold = hott.

The track on JJJ now is played like 3 times a day? Getting really annoying.

I really like Burn Bridges. The rest of the album is decent.

there's an obvious solution there.
