Haduken

[tinpottery]

I was at Live at Leeds yesterday and headliners Haduken confirmed they would be playing the NME tent this year, i think they said the Saturday (at Leeds).

They were awful for the record.

[thomasowen]

I thought they were realy good last time they played, but they have made some terrible music recently.

[Nathan113]

They have always made terrible music.

[Englishdragon]

Really enjoyed them last time but I couldnt even listen to the new album

Whenever I was watching Newsnight (my source for popular culture), I was watching this comedian - don't know his name, but he looked like a student so no doubt he'll be presenting an unfunny episode of Never Mind the Buzzcocks in a few months time and making NME readers laugh.

Anyway, he got 3 bands to write songs for the 3 main political parties as a means of promoting the parties' messages. Hadouken did the Labour Party's "anthem"...

...the word embarrassment springs to mind but hilarious and truly awful are also quite apt ways of describing their song and music, which I have learned is also utterly shite.

A band to avoid when I go to Leeds, then.

I don't know, I always thought they were pretty good, the stuff they did with Prof Green was great, and them and The Music in the tent in 2008 were probably the highlight of the year for me.

I am disappoint. Thank God the mainstage is so good that day.

[sjp_121]

Older stuff is better than newer stuff...

but for both times I've seen them... they've been seriously good.

If nothing else is happening, I'll go see them... but I suspect they will be on at the same time as Weezer/Limp/Cypress Hill. And they take priority.

[fat_man_joe]

An utter turd of a 'band'.

[oO Dan Oo]

Big fan of them to be honest, Would definatly see them

[rexclark]

f**king awful.

[Electricityscape]

I didn't mind their old album, but their new album...

I might pop along depends who else is playing, atmosphere should be good anyway.

They are a bitof a joke but wheni saw them (in a small club) it was ana amazing experience. I think they will go down well in the tent. but theres a good chance i will be elsewhere. epspecially if it IS the saturday.

[tinpottery]

I'm sure they said Saturday and looking at the line up, Klaxons are playing that day and there are spaces so it would make sense.

I've seen them before and they were OK, but simply awful last Saturday. Their singer is up there with the Piers Morgan's and Jeremy Clarkson's of this world in terms of how much of a grade A spanner he is. Watford boy pretending to be Leeds through and through, it was cringe worthy stuff.

[ska_4_life]

Not a fan. But I have noone i wanna see before limp bizkit right now.

So if they play before then i may see them. But this depends on dance lineup, and alternative stage

EDIT: If the lineup on mainstage blink day dosent change, does that mean I can see weezer, foals, then blink? If there is a little overlap, how much of weezer will i miss to get a good spot to see foals? I dont mind missing part of blink though lol.

Wow, FR have really got themselves a coup here haven't they?

EDIT: I misread 'Hadouken!' for 'The Stone Roses'. My bad.

[boffy12]

just got an email from hadouken offering oppertunity for a meet and greet at r/l just more evidence

[Nathan113]

Tell them to f**k off.

[biglewhill]

Tell them to f**k off.

[evilduck]

I quite like their music but I've seen them live twice (once at Reading, once at their own gig) and they have been shockingly awful both times.

[olly!olly!olly!]

woeful band
