I thought I'd share with you all some of my fave London electro-popsters > some are a bit harder, some more cheesy, but If that bland Veto Silver are doing so well, it's about time this lot got some attention! I'm only giving their myspace profile addresses 'cos it's simpler & you can hear their stuff straight away. let me know what you think! www.myspace.com/hotelmotel

www.myspace.com/viktormusicWell we've all seen this lot. None of them are serious artists but then again everyone should have some comedy mates... Hotel Motel - She's been around for ages, too old really, Computer Blue nice little club thing going on. Viktor - blimey... good tunes, good for a laugh, should be doing the cruise ships circuit Cantankerous - bloody good fun! Come on don't give pop and Electro a bad name... |

"Comedy"?! "Give electro & pop a bad name"?! And I suppose Veto Silver are the saviours?! Fuck off! And anyway, when did pop singers have to be 'serious artists' anyway?! Isn't that what pop should not be?! Too serious!!!??

I'm absolutely loving Cantankerous' 'Flesh Roast'. Any ideas if they're actually releasing (released?) anything that I can physically buy?

I heard Cantankerous have signed to an american label. E.P released quite soon! They are AMAZING live too! Oh and I think one of their tracks was on the 'Kashpoint' album too, so was viktor i think.

Isn't that what pop should not be?! Too serious!!!?? One thing veto silver are NOT compared to the artists you mention is BLAND... You don't get written about in ARTROCKER, DIS, NME, FAKE DIY ETC. if you're BLAND. You are so jealous of this band. I believe but am not 100% sure that Veto have played shows with Viktor and Hotel Motel - they're still doing the same thing but Veto have moved on... If you read my post correctly numbnuts you'd see I never said that pop singers should be 'serious' in fact I think quite the opposite. As far as Veto Silver is concerned, they're just doing their own thing. Not trying to be part of some fading scene. I guess the reason why they've been offered so many deals is because they have better pop tunes and they will appeal to a large audience not some niche market. |

you people are so wrong. We all know veto silver are gonna fail on their asses because this kind of music does not work well in the charts.
On the note of viktor - i love him! Hes a really good friend of mine and very talented and is actually working on music with Tim from Baxendale at the moment.
Veto silver were better with their original line up.

You can't possibly have seen the band of late as your comments are ridiculous . The original lineup was awful - just light weight eletro type stuff... They had any played a handful of gigs a were basically trying ideas out. Once they had giot rid of the original keyboard player and got a great player / better looking one in and changed direction things just took off. You can bitch about them as much as you like but they're the ones giving up thier day jobs and looking where to invest thier windfall. |

i think you might well have lost your mind.
windfall???!!!!!! I know way more established and popular acts who sell a ton of albums and gig tickets who only get 200 quid a week so i really doubt veto silver are gonna be millionaires. Get a reality check.
and dean was a way more attractive keyboardist.

also how have they exactly changed direction? They still sound like "lightweight electro " to me - not that theres anything wrong with it.
I actually have nothing against veto silver as they are nice enough boys but i just dont get why everyones calling them the saviours of pop music. I always enjoyed seeing them perform. I am also happy for anyone to prove me wrong - so try!

Yawn, Yawn, Yawn - god your tedious... now fuck of back into your little hole and try and do something good for the human race like step in front of a bus. Your just a spineless nobody who's as jealous as fuck about the good fortunes of another band. Fucking loser |
