can't get enough World Party

[shitidiot]

WOW i love this band. Did any one catch them when they played Toronto/Montreal. I saw them in Philly at Jam on the River and they blew me away. just great classic rock n roll. If i was to explain there sound I'd say British pop rock circa 1968 - 1971. they have this sound with out try to copy the Beatles or the Stones, they make it there own. a must see show for any music lover.

if you haven't heard them before get Egyptology its great start to finish.

I was able to catch them for the first time down at Bonnaroo. I guess they've been around for quite some time?

[bONES]

i used to be into them about 20 years ago now

i've heard folks raging about them lately

cool to see they're back

I caught them in toronto at the opera house a couple weeks ago. was a great show! some old and some new tunes.

Beatles-like, but different, I agree. and the Brit-pop/folk connection to his earlier work with the Waterboys was really apparent too. the new CD is a concept album, about media in the future, and it comes with a matching DVD - nice to grab it for just $15 at the show.

i'd seen him once before, maybe 12 years ago. it was just as good this time. although, the predominantly male crowd was all in their 40s and up, with maybe 10 people under 30yo almost felt like a private vip show.

1987 was there first album. just starting to tour north America. Karl willanger is the main dude he used to be in the waterboys??? his written lots of hits for other people (shaniad oconnor, Robbie Williams).

Been a casual fan since their heady radio days of the late '80s/early '90s but just saw them for the first time at Osheaga. I thought they were great but they didn't attract much of a crowd unfortunately.

[shitidiot]

i don't think that many people in north America really know how great they are.

had the chance to have diner with Karl Willanger after the Philly show, what a humble nice person, truly a class act.

I thought it was cool that Karl is left-handed like myself but then I noticed he was just playing a rightie turned upside down, didn't even bother to restring it. I wonder if I should have been playing like that all along!

Goodbye Jumbo is a great album, too.

i was working for the new deal... we were backstage at Jam on the River in Philly. It was a sweet line up...World Party> The Duo> The New Deal> Disco Biscuits. after our set went to grab a bite at the artist buffet, noticed Karl was eating by himself ask if we could join him. the dude is a legend and nobody know who the fuck he was. the weather was shit so we just sat and eat and shot the shit till it was time to go to the next gig.

as for what he eat i can't remember??? but if i was to guess i think he had the fish. i had that grilled eggplant with tofu, a side salad and for desert carrot cake! yumm
