gosh, i love patti smith.

 

[Gregor Samsa]

Who or what is WDRL? Can’t find him/her/them on Spotify.

 

[Eldritch]

Barry from Joyce Manor has "MORRISSEY" tattooed on his wrist

Isn't it a bit unfortunate being such a huge M fan in a band called Joyce Manor?

 

[BookishBoy]

Who or what is WDRL? Can’t find him/her/them on Spotify.

All I can come up with is an Austin, Texas based band called We Don't Ride Llamas, abbreviated to WDRL. But no idea if it's them!

 

[TheSmiths_1985]

Wilf Down’t Royal Legion.
After 14 cans of Old Speckled Hen, he’ll have that place rocking.

[BookishBoy]

Ah, of course! Thanks for the reminder.

 

[Gregor Samsa]

Ah. And now the reason why Mozzer likes them becomes abundantly clear...

 

[gordyboy9]

Just the usual lip-service line up you'd expect, perhaps bar Patti Smith.


How on earth would you know? You think he doesn't have the internet? That's not to say, some of the stuff he likes is particularly good, mind.

its amazing how people come up with these statements,well done stiv for calling this turkey out.

Alkaline trio - this could be love


Alkaline trio - is this thing cursed


Alkaline trio is gonna draw a big crowd leading into morrissey. It’s there hometown and they’re well liked by the riot fest crowd

 

[The Wild Turkey]

Seems like Riot Fest is gonna be just about the right
time for a Moz and Patti duet of Renando Beach.

 

[Verso]

Just the usual lip-service line up you'd expect, perhaps bar Patti Smith.
He won't have listened to anything really new in 25 years unless he got told some act were singing his praises, then he'd say the were great......whether they were utter shit or not. Fact of the matter.

It’s true. Morrissey very clearly has no awareness of contemporary music, which shows in both his own work and his “curatorial style.”

 

[ZOOM FROM GLOOM]

Is there a reason why anyone thinks Morrissey has something to do with the acts Riot Fest book for the show?

Agree.

He probably said .. just get me Patti and you can pick the rest.



VIVA MOZ RIOT !!!!

 

[ZOOM FROM GLOOM]

Who cares? Just don't buy a ticket. Get a good book instead....

there’s more to life than Moz you know ....


but not much more,

not much more.

Barry from Joyce Manor has "MORRISSEY" tattooed on his wrist

Ah, the perfect place to cut.

 

[BrokenFrame]

Agree.

He probably said .. just get me Patti and you can pick the rest.



VIVA MOZ RIOT !!!!

I'm sure the organisers were desperate for mega stars like Kristeen Young.

 

[Surface]

Agree.

He probably said .. just get me Patti and you can pick the rest.



VIVA MOZ RIOT !!!!

I see your fella's posting as you again.

 

[ThePoliticalRevolution]

Alkaline Trio are fun.

He should get Las Cafeteras


WDRL are amazing. I love that cover they did. They seem like such sweet people. I am gonna make friends with them.

 

[Trans]

Dude from Joyce manor has a lisp so maybe he was just seduced by that. I believes I a has or had a few morrissey tattoos as well

 

[ZOOM FROM GLOOM]

And Batman. Don't forget Batman in Chicago (Nolan's version of Gotham).

Wait.

Did Moz get Batman for the fest too!?
