I couldn't find a thread for this band, so here we go. :P We saw them at V and I liked. :D *bought Regeneration*

I saw Neil Hannon open up for Ben Folds a few years ago, and wasn't quite sure what to make of it. Uh... that's it. :P

AH! Finally, i posted a Thread Ages ago about them. They're Excellent, Neil Hannon is pretty amazing. i understand that the songs aren't for everyone, but, the songs do take longer to get used too than many othe bands. Regeneration is a great album. I went to see them in London, and it was being shot for a DVD..which is out in September sometime. he writes all the scores for the orchestra, he's pretty clever

I heard a song from their latest album... "Come home billy bird" ... really good track :)

ah yes! the band who brought us The National Express. and er, the theme tune to Father Ted..........nice :cool: :D

yes indeed :D

*appreciates* :D

take the national express, when your life's in a mess

Everybody now...ba ba ba da ba ba ba da ba ba ba da ba ba ba da ba ba

*hugs divine comedy* :D

what about 'the', you don't love the the? :stunned:

the the is ostentacious :lol:

you just don't love the 'the', admit it :P

*admits it*

 

:tongue: :lol:

ha, I knew it :cool4:

 

I loved the "no one knows" cover :D

I´m making a website and I used part of "The Perfect Lovesong" on the layout.. :blush:

'im listening to them right now and its so sweet! :)

i have EXCLUSIVE :/ video footage from the same gig as the DVD gig they're bringing out. :) i was taking some video footage and some pictures...and even though i was actually stopped doing it (which i did as soon as i was told, because i saw other people taking pictures so i thought why not!) i still got some audio and video footage. :D a 30 second snippet of No-one Knows, and a couple of others.

has anyone else watched any of his orchestra gigs he's been playing lately?

yay for the layout thingy :)

 

no one knows footage :stunned:

at the end of this month the divine comedy will 'release' an ep, which you can download on their web site only... "no one knows" live is one track :happy:

:D

 

ahh. one of the many surprises i saw at glastonbury this year. thank goodness my friends dragged me to their show. it was quite good. :)

Big oversize bump :)

I love divine comedy! What a genius songwriter Neil is :D very much underrated.even though i can understand why not everyone likes them.

The band, not Dante's. Did not see them in the band index, excusez moi if there's a thread like this.

Anyone into them?

I love them, ehrm, Neil Hannon.

baritone + orchestra + some rock/pop instruments = so much win
