Just saw the features open for KOL tonight and it was the 1st time i had ever heard them................i am sold as a fan they were (insert expletive here) terrific and i will be pushing there music on everyone i know (like i do with every other band i like......my friends love/hate me for it). i missed them when i saw KOL in st. louis in march as my friends and i dismissed them as another also-ran opening act. what a huge (insert expletive here) mistake that was. great band, great show........hard to beat KOL and The Features.

Carl, quit sensoring the MB. Since when are we not allowed to curse on here?

No really, welcome to the board n8daag. Are you from the UK or the US?

i saw the manchester apollo show tonight aswell and was really really impressed by the features. not only that but after the show i hung around outside the apollo and ended up meetin matt and gettin my picture took with him (hope he didnt mind the pose i pulled). thank god for camera phones. he seemed a really nice guy and looked genuinely pleased to talk to people after the show. i hope they get bigger because they'r such a fantastic band, especially live. only got good things to tell about them.

I know, I was just giving CarlW a hard time. Don't worry about being offensive, though. Welcome!

I've just come back from the Apollo Gig and I thought they were awesome. Picked up the CD outside which I am now listening to. Great voice, really unique sound and quite hypnotic live good presence onstage too. I reckon the crowd reaction was good, and that's a hard thing to get in Manchester so good job biggrin.gif

I'll be touting them out to everyone I know too, nice one and good luck!

I saw them supporting KoL on the 15th - Best. Support. EVER!

Saw them back in December too, just as good! When I saw them in Dec', thought they were ace, but never thought of them after the gig. Got back from the gig the other night, and I am now officially obsessed!

I bet it's neither. I bet Rory put up a giant sticker on the back wall of the venue.
Daigle is all we need to make the night complete
