I thought that the original Sugababes line-up were not allowed to use the name? Or has something changed (or I just got that wrong)?

hell even the Sugababes (and I bet they have a band with them (that may or may not be miming))

Talking of Sugbabes and a live band... It's made me remember something... or maybe I i am imagining it. Please let me know.

 

A reasonably renowned female singer of Latino music (can't remember the name) was due to appear on Later with Jools Holland. But something happened and she could not appear... but the all of the band did.

So Mutya from the Sugababes filled in for the two(?) songs. And did a good job too.

 

Anyone else remember it (google isn't helping)?

Is he either of those?

From what I have heard, no.

My favourite comment was "The last person I want to see do Ian Brown songs on karaoke is Ian Brown."

George Michael covered one on tour but at least he used a band. Do we think this will start a budget trend?

A few gigs I've been to recently have had support acts with one or two members plus a laptop.

Not headliners, as I would be unlikely to go to such a gig.

So it does seem to be bubbling up.

Ian Brown used to have a really good and loyal band for his (pre Stone Roses reunion) solo shows. Shame he's chosen not to put some work their way again.

But lyrics that rhyme

Make the sun shiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiine

She's electric,

She's from a family full of eccentrics,

And the circles they are all concentric,

In Casablanca, Ilsa liked to say 'Rick'

In my head this rhyme did stick...

Yes, I saw RHCP in Cologne in August, and one of the support acts was ASAP Rocky. No band at all, just backing tapes. He wasn't bad, really, but IMO this is not what I would call live music. A bit of an odd choice, especially as Flea later thanked the audience for supporting live music.

Just to contradict myself, one half of that band, the one with the powerful voice I feel guilty watching..... Erm TaTu, she sounds good doing karaoke in small venues of their back catalogue.
