thisnameistaken Posted September 20, 2012 Share Posted September 20, 2012 Just spotted these dates and thought I'd give a quick heads up if anyone's interested: [url="http://www.ticketmaster.co.uk/Ben-Folds-Five-tickets/artist/869242"]http://www.ticketmas...s/artist/869242[/url] I last saw them fifteen years ago and they were great fun live, quite stoked they're doing another tour.

Huge Hands Posted September 20, 2012 Share Posted September 20, 2012 I love the bass player Robert Sledge. Would love to see these guys, but think funds will dissapoint me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doddy Posted September 20, 2012 Share Posted September 20, 2012 Nice...I might have to go to at least one of those gigs (probably Rock City) if I'm about. Great band Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thisnameistaken Posted December 3, 2012 Author Share Posted December 3, 2012 Anyone else seen them? Went to the Leeds gig on Saturday, the band sounded great, Robert Sledge has really raised his game too he was playing upright (pizz and arco) and synth bass as well as singing harmony and doing 'guitar solos' of course, the guy is just awesome. The album is up and down but the high points are really nice, like this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F7E_mIgD_6w Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Owen Posted December 3, 2012 Share Posted December 3, 2012 I saw them in Manc and thought they were exceptional. A monster songwriting talent with a rhythm section which serves the song, keeps it interesting but never gets in the way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
