I did hear All The Young Children Are On Crack, thought it crap, but bought it anyway as I wanted to take my total of TVPs records to 40. Childish, eh? Still, I didn't have to buy the albums after that...Fire Escapehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15455091337934631425noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30779796.post-74715911506668769502007-08-29T18:33:00.000+01:002007-08-29T18:33:00.000+01:00When Television Personalities played at Triptych i...When Television Personalities played at Triptych in Glasgow the goodwill towards Dan was huge. Everyone was truly supportive and willing him on to be brilliant. He wasn't, of course, and people got increasingly exasperated and left in their droves. It was a real shame.

And if he will only play while out of his mind, punters have got to be out of their minds to pay for it.<BR/>Perhaps the way fowards with Treacy is for people to pay on the way out of the gig (or leave without paying if he's drunk and useless).<BR/>Oh, and I would've been at the Chickfactor gig, but I was in Australia then!Fire Escapehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15455091337934631425noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30779796.post-83067448791461792562007-08-24T13:35:00.000+01:002007-08-24T13:35:00.000+01:00I saw him at the Chickfactor anniversary festival ...I saw him at the Chickfactor anniversary festival in 2004, which was his first post-jail gig, and that wasn't too bad, especially compared to all the stories of later shows. <BR/><BR/>But I too don't see how he can get away with ruining all of his shows - or just not turning up, for example because he spends his passport-money on booze. I would have hoped that the "(indie)pop scene" would have had a more normal attitude towards their heroes' behaviour.martijnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03463307000398178175noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30779796.post-86229974532542973172007-08-24T09:13:00.000+01:002007-08-24T09:13:00.000+01:00I saw him for the first time in years (for obvious...I saw him for the first time in years (for obvious reasons) about 18 months ago. I walked out. Comparing war stories with friends over the next few days revealed all of them left early, too.<BR/><BR/>There are some people who are indulging Treacy's selfish behaviour, as if his erratic, drunken buffoonery points to a wayward genius at work, when the opposite is true.Fire Escapehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15455091337934631425noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30779796.post-70327601396505136422007-08-23T18:53:00.000+01:002007-08-23T18:53:00.000+01:00I can only agree with that.I am a bit suspicious t...I can only agree with that.<BR/><BR/>I am a bit suspicious that a lot of people think Dan Treacy's behaviour is "cool" or something. I mean they keep booking him and, apparently, people keep getting excited just from seeing him be on a stage with a guitar. Even though he isn't even capable of playing a song from start to end.martijnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03463307000398178175noreply@blogger.com
