Futon - Strap It On (live)




I like them quite a bit though they are very much an one-trick pony. And their biggest claim to fame is that their drummer is Simon Gilbert who used to be in Suede. My ex-colleague (a sound engineer) said that he was one of the best drummers that he worked with when I worked with Futon 2 years ago. Well, ex-Suede guitarist Bernard Butler hates Simon Gilbert's playing while he was still in Suede.

Gilbert reminds me of The Beatles' Ringo Starr and The Rolling Stones' Charlie Ward. Simple, effective and serves the song.

In any case, I read on their official site that they are recording their new album Siamese Tease soon. It'd be probably rehashing the same stuff but you bet your gay ass I'll be buying it.
