The Paddingtons

[SiennaInLondon]

Well there has been quite a lot of talk about them on the Pete Doherty thread but I think it is high time they got their own thread. They have an amazing sound which is a lot less grimy, urban and authentic than their idols (and mine!) The Libertines' sound, it still pretty fun to listen to. Is anyone going to see them play on their tour next month?

oh my, its been a long time no one has posted here! but i love The Paddigtons! They are an amazing group! What has happened to them now, they haven't done anything for a few months have they. Was 'Sorry' their most recent single? Love this band Josh Hubbard and Tom Atkin are hot!

What are some good songs to hear?

^ 50 To a £ is good, their catchiest song I think. Other suggestions:
She's Got It, Worse For Wear, Sorry.

Tom Paddington's singing is too effortless. Even after several listens of First Comes First, the singer's voice failed to grow on me, but I still enjoy a few of their songs.

I like Tommy Disease or something like that and Loser!

I love the Paddingtons too- I agree Tom & Josh are the best. I like 21, 50 to a Pound & Some Old Girl.

Hmm. I saw them live last year and thought they were supremely crap. I mean their sound is basic but I didn't think it would be so bad... oh well.

I'll repeat it again fairy... Lucky girl!

I meet them too in a gig last December and it's true, they were really sweet. It was in a club in Barcelona and after the concert Tom and and another one of the paddingtons (I don't know his name) were wandering and talking with everyone who wants to talk with him. I also took pictures and I got the setlist, I think me and my friend were two of the very few people who knew who the paddingtons were that night.

Following the untimely passing of Joe Strummer his friends and family set up the Strummerville charity as a foundation for the production of new music. The main aim of the charity is to provide rehearsal space and studio time to individuals, groups and organisations to enable the productions of music by creative people who would otherwise not have the necessary funds to do so.

really looking forward to that!

Janie Jones is one of my favourite Clash songs and I think they did a good job. My favourite bit: "You lucky lady!"
