White lies

shell022

hey all,
Just wondering if anyone else are into this band.
I think i'm about to wear out there new album i've listened to it so much. There supporting coldplay at the moment. Unfortunetly they have extended there uk tour to play over here... so i'm going over there!!
any thoughts.

Jenroche

They're not bad....but they're trying too hard to be Joy Division.

Jen ;->

shell022

to b honest i'm really not familiar with joy divisions music.. maybe i should check it out.

JerryHandbag

They're probably a more clean cut, radio friendly version of Joy Division. They're ok, I got the album. Decent enough, but I still prefer Editors.

shell022

The editors.. now your talking.. have you heard there new stuff. sounds amazing. Tried to get tickets for them in the oylimpia but they went like hot cakes.. gutted is an understatement. funny when my friend first play white lies to me the first thing i said was there kinda editorsy..

pistonsvox

Love em. So good went to see em twice at glasto and went upstage to see em at oxegen. Nice lads. Really tight sound, only thing is he goes flat alot when singing live, tough to control the deep singing

iGotAquestion

they are decent enough!.. hated them when i heard them first but their songs grew on me after a few listens!.

pistonsvox

Good dancefllor tunes, some great remixes out there. yuksek does one:pac:

Ha I played them to my friend too and his words were "Man they are SO LIKE Editors!!"
Yeah I missed out on getting tickets to them playing here in Limerick....so pissed off about it....hopefully I can get my hands on tickets, never thought I'd see them playin here!

shell022

Just looked up ticketmaster. didn't even know they where playing in limerick. i'm so so tempted to go to england to see them. i used to live in wolverhampton and there playing there. can get over and back and ticket pretty cheaply. got all my white lies stuff for 65 euro..

justsayit

White Lies are great.
To Lose My Life.. is an amazing album.

Gutted I can't see them live, I'd love to go over to England and see them!

shell022

Justsayit - i paid €65 for flights and the ticket to see them in birmingham. Can't really go wrong with that. I'll get some cheap accom for the night so its pretty doable. There supporting coldplay next week or the week after. Gutted they'll be like down the road and i can't even see them.

Completely agree that the album is amazing. I have it on a constant repeat. Just hope i don't get sick of it.

moonflower

They're brilliant live. I saw them at Oxegen and they were definitely one of the highlights.

shell022

oh really. thats cool. Ugh i have to wait till decemeber to see them though..

trilo

I've seen them twice this year. The are great live

Enjoy the December gig.

justsayit

I LOVE White Lies..
To Lose My Life.. was the best album I've gotten this year I think!

Gutted I'm not going to see them,
stupid leaving cert.

mattfender

I think my white lies buzz will never end. dyin to see em for a 5th time:(
Best show of theres ive seen is the 2nd gig they did at glasto this yr in the john peel tent. Sound was amazing. Such a good engineer. And band of course:pac:

Bugg

Cant seem to find any place to get tickets to see them in Cork, are they sold out? There is a date listed on their official website and http://www.last.fm/event/1215741+Neon+Indian They aren't listed on ticketmaster.

shell022

aw man, how did i not know they where playing in cork. i'm moving there on sat. PM me if you finid tickets..

Deeper Blue

I saw them at Oxegen and thought they were excellent

mattfender

that chap in the DBS ad all over the net... I keep thinking its Harry! But why would white lies singer be going to dbs...loike...roysh?

justsayit

I am actually so delighted they're playing in Cork!

Anyone know about getting tickets?

CosmicLove

I saw White Lies in February when they were supproting Snow Patrol in the the o2. What a band!
& the irony is I don't really like Editors or Joy Division yet I love them xD

Arcade Panda

If the editors and the killers had a baby it would be white lies

Deirdre93

I saw on their website as well that they were in cork on teh 10/12 but the opera house have jason byrne on that day. Does anyone know if theyre actually coming and if so, where do i get tickets??
I saw them open for snow patrol in feb last year and they were amazing, would love to see them again!

Wondering about tickets myself. But from what i can make out they are playing in the Savoy because Neon Indian is confirmed to support them and he has the Savoy down as the venue.

Excellent I really liek the Academy its a great venue.

shell022

hmm, i'm confused. so. neither cork or dublin are appearing on ticketmaster. the dublin date is also not showing up on the acadamy website and i haven't looked up the one for cork yet. when i click on book tickets on their site it brings me straight to ticketmaster but for the belfast gig... any ideas anyone.. if i got the dublin and cork tickets that would be 3 white lies gigs in 5 days.. sweet!!!

gleesonger

Ye I know its damn wierd I saw it on the gig listing on their website yonks ago just figured that it wasn't yet fully confirmed\too early to announce tickets!!Went looking again and same score!!!

Just got the band email:
"09 Dec 2009 Academy, Dublin >" , "> = Support from The Kissaway Trail."

Academy Website:
"Wed 09 Dec 2009 HAR MAR SUPERSTAR"

???????

Dont know about the Dublin gig, but the Cork one is a Heineken Green Energy gig so you have to enter the draw for tickets, cannot buy them.

Love white lies cannot wait for this going to go to the cork one.

I was at friendly fires when they played in waterford for the heineken green spheres twas unreal. Love friendly fires but that gig was probably better than seeing them at oxygen. Some set-up

shell022

to apply for tickets for the cork one hasn't become available though yet, right.

See post #42, this info was incorrect

mattfender

Sútalún

Nah, don't think so.. Playing Munich that date according to their website.

FinoBlad

damn it

Just to update this, WL have confirmed their Facebook Fan page is wrong and have apologised for the error.

We might see them at a festival here this year though, they are "in discussions with promoters"

So fingers crossed on that one

*giggles*

I love these guys! My sister told me about them ages ago but I didn't take any notice until I listened to them later on. They're brilliant! Touring in Ireland you say...:)

L.T.D

what a night

Sivski

I've seen them twice, they're class. Every song is an anthem!
If a band has great b-sides, they're quality

ColRyan

Great band. Fingers crossed for Oxegen.
