'Famous for only ever playing 12 minute sets, British Lichen Society manage in a quarter of an hour what The Fall have spent the last twenty five years doing: distorted punk rants that freewheel downhill, crash into a brick wall, and like some sort of Shellac-inspired zombie, refuse to die and instead stagger on, losing limbs and casiotone notes in the process.' - Narc.
'Is there a better named band than British Lichen Society? They are an amazing band as well. The floorboards shake to the heavy, heavy vibrations of the bass guitar which sounds like it is being played through a cement mixer.
There is also the most blatantly brilliant minimalist keyboards, which all Fall fans would love.
There is also something of Mr M E Smith about the way the vocalist paces the stage, ranting, chanting and proclaiming.
At the back the drummer in his suit keeps the Society on a respectable even keel' - Rob Nicholls, Evening Gazzette
Now lads it's Ryan here just wanted to say your set was fucking brilliant and i hope you enjoyed yourselves. Thanks for coming down and putting on such a good show.
Its been selling faster than we expected, and we currently only have around a quarter of our stock left - so we thought we'd better you all know that if you want a copy then now would be a good time to pick one up! If you buy it from the link above then you're buying it direct from us, the label aren't taking a cut - so its a bit like Fair Trade for struggling musicians.
International mail-order is available, just follow the instructions.
Thank you very much, and sorry for making a mess of your profile. If its any kind of consolation, we don't have a MySpace bot, so I'm leaving these comments the old fashioned way. Three -and-a-half thousand of them. My life is so exciting.
