Whatever happened to these guys?

[Scouser]

Longview (who became Long-view as there is a US band called Longview as well). Great album and then...nothing!

He does Harmony hairspray adverts.Embrace rip-offs Mr R!

[Dr Cheese]

I quite liked that song they did but everything else was just bollocks really.

[Scouser]

Jesus - thats abit harsh! I quite like them...

Anyway, another candidate for the "where are they now?" file...

My own nomination(but I dont know how to be flash on the computer)




Come back The Longcut,NO fans need you.

[Scouser]

Is that no fans need you or New Order fans need you?

[Dave Smith]

New Order fans!Heard a lot of Power Corruption & Lies in their tracks.They'll be back.

[Scouser]

The album had a lot of slower tracks that I initially didnt like but grew on me in time. They are less "electronic" than NO (mores the pity).

Abit of internet research tells me that The Longcut were dropped by Deltasonic and are now on a small indie label. They released a double a side single last year (see below - VERY early NO sounding Smiffy) and are recording their second album as we speak.

For the Long-view haters, they too are recording their second album (of Embrace covers, only joking!)
