TechnicolorGreenEyes Posted July 12, 2009 Share Posted July 12, 2009 I saw them live, I walked on on them, only time I've ever done that So bad and boring Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ilione Posted September 3, 2009 Share Posted September 3, 2009 I'd never heard of them until the day I read that they'd be the support act of Keane at their show in Winterthur last Sunday...! :) That's why I actually thought I might have a listen to them and immediately fell in love with their music! I only had to listen to their album "Tourist" one time and it was love at first "listen" - which actually doesn't happen to me that often as it usually takes me some time to grow fond of a whole album... ;) So I was pretty much looking forward to seeing them live and well, what should I say? They were totally awesome! Their performance was great and they seem to be very sympathetic guys, too! :) Joel actually talked quite a lot as well. He also told us that one of their new songs (Black Swan Song) was about his grandpa... I think that was quite moving and so are the lyrics! :) Here's the video to it which I made on Sunday: [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-49WaNfEYtU]Black Swan Song[/ame] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ilione Posted September 5, 2009 Share Posted September 5, 2009 Just in case anybody's interested: BBC Radio 2 are broadcasting Athlete's set from Blackpool right now! They just started playing "Hurricane" and it sounds ace! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nothingtoseehere Posted September 30, 2009 Share Posted September 30, 2009 I just got round to getting the new album, Black Swan. Don't like it. At all. The fact that I hate it really depresses me, because I love all their previous albums, and I love the band and I think I might even be a bit in love with Joel (his voice makes me melt!). So listening to this very mediocre 'generic' kinda alt-rock (think Snow Patrol's latest effort) after brilliant songs like You Got the Style, The Outsiders, Wires and pretty much 90% of the songs from their other albums, I just feel like I want to pretend this album never happened. :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
w1ll1am7 Posted September 30, 2009 Share Posted September 30, 2009 I have just gotten my hands on some Athlete, the youtube stuff I've seen seems quite good, so maybe they're another group I can begin to like! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obi Posted September 23, 2010 Share Posted September 23, 2010 I miss this band, I've decided. I don't care if they're pretty unremarkable Coldplay soundalikes. Tourist was the first album I bought myself on CD in 2005, and I still particularly love Twenty Four Hours. What a song :D Wires was goood too.
