    really cool to witness the progression of some of their songs even over their few Windmill performances. Wild that they've been actively been playing shows since 2018 and haven't dropped anything more than singles but they almost have this lore surrounding them with more than an album's songs in their arsenal.

    Wonderful to have a Lou Smith recording of these newer cuts, wish they had done Charli XCX (in full) but either way snowglobes is the standout from this performance, what an absolutely gorgeous track, love how melodic Isaac gets with his vox and those fucking drums man.

      @@sebastianobaccolo6940 Yeah, she really rocked it. I wonder if she knows how many people have fallen in love with her over the looks she gives particularly Isaac in a couple of my vids, but even wearing black shades she oozed it. I saw her doing some vocals at a previous show and she seemed pretty shy and retiring, so this was a revelation. I should've known when she cheekily stuck out her tongue during the opening shots. In general it was great to see a lot of relaxed good humour going on as both bands can come across as pretty serious, no nonsense. I will upload both sets in all their glory sometime in the new year, when we hit peak Covid /post Brexit misery and need a lifesaver. x

Actually I don't own a tv anymore and don't pay for a licence, so I also don't watch their content anymore. Almost certain that their upcoming London show will get cancelled. Was really looking forward to that. I have been busy uploading my recent videos to another Platform called LBRY including a couple of Fat White Family at their recent Windmill gig.

      I think there was a buzz going round this week on the socials about it suggesting that they were coming close to a deal. I think it's a shame in a way that bands even need a label. The amount of traction these guys have got organically would suggest that they could just sell records and merch hand over fist without any blood suckers getting involved. For me it also means that despite the role that my series of windmill videos has played in that awareness of them, going forward, I'll be restricted or banned from uploading their stuff, as if my content would restrict sales of their releases. As if.
      People are so hungry for actual hard copy of BCNR and BM material it's a license to print money.
