I like that La Roux...and Marina and the Diamonds...where did they go?

Confused

Just googled though and found that La Roux has in fact got a new album out...maybe the question should be why does it take some artists so long between albums?

that's a daft question too...it's a lot of work I suppose!

Sananda Francesco Maitreya-there you go Love. Fuck me he was gorgeous.

loveliesbleeding1 · 27/06/2014 22:30

Yeah I can imagine him being a bit Princey actually.

FelixFelix · 27/06/2014 22:30

La Roux have a new album out very soon. They are touring at the end of the year. I'm not keen!

What about David Grey? I liked some of his songs.

KirjavaTheCat nailed it in the first post.

(pssst....Is there any room under the hat)

squoosh · 27/06/2014 22:31

Sananda Francesco Maitreya has to be better than Terence.

Ohwhatfuckeryisthis · 27/06/2014 22:32

Sorry x post with Mrswinnebago. Time for bed, my eyes are going.

I'm sure I read somewhere that two years is the lifespan of a lot of artists/bands - in particular boy/girl bands, because there's usually only two outcomes:

  1. They work really hard for that time, are exhausted, and have little to show for it at the end of the day so think 'Bugger this'
  1. They work really hard, are exhausted and have more money than they can shake a stick at so think 'Bugger this'
Grin

Nowadays there's also option 3: They run out of money a few years down the line/think FINALLY here's their chance to make some real money and do the comeback tour…

squoosh · 27/06/2014 22:32

I know what we're all thinking................whatever happened to Chaka Demus and Pliers!

StealthPolarBear · 27/06/2014 22:34

He really was very gorgeousohwhat, his voice made my knees go, and I was only about 12 when his first album came out.may have to go and study those forgotten pictures.

Ohwhatfuckeryisthis · 27/06/2014 22:34

Wooo moment, Sign your name just came on Dh's iPod.

loveliesbleeding1 · 27/06/2014 22:36

Mind reader squoosh.must google.

StealthPolarBear · 27/06/2014 22:36

He was gorgeous. Is he still...?

DomesticSlobbess · 27/06/2014 22:37

Upon opening this thread I had Eagle Eye Cherry "Save Tonight" in my head. That was a catchy song and he just buggered off the face of the Earth after.

Now I'm always a bit Hmm when someone is apparently "the next big thing" because most of them disappear not long after. Little Boots is another recent one who had a good song then vanished.

loveliesbleeding1 · 27/06/2014 22:37

Shit ohwhat,that is very woo indeed.

DomesticSlobbess · 27/06/2014 22:39

Oh and The Ting Tings. "That's Not My Name" was fucking annoying but it was on EVERYTHING! Now where are they?

loveliesbleeding1 · 27/06/2014 22:39

Ohwhatfuckeryisthis · 27/06/2014 22:40

Kleptronic · 27/06/2014 22:40

Tracey Chapman. Where the fuck did she go?

KirjavaTheCat · 27/06/2014 22:42
CrazySexyCool123 · 27/06/2014 22:42

I think Sam smith, foxes and Ella Henderson will be dissappearers. Any other votes?

Kleptronic · 27/06/2014 22:45

Stone me, the woo keeps going, someone people just recommended Lauren Hill and Tracey Chapman on another thread. What are the odds. And where's Harry Hill when you need him. Grin
