How did you discover Cable?

(1/5) > >>

Damon:
How did you stumble upon their music and which was the first song that you listened to?

Si:
Caught the end of Hydra drifting into my ears at one of the Reading festivals just before Down Lift came out.  I ran to the tent loved it, but didn't know who they were. Looked in the line-up saw they were cable. When I got home I went to the local Punk/Indie Rock specialist and they sold me the first two singles on vinyl. Due to idleness  and them cancelling a gig next time I saw them was their last one.  :'(

PlacidCasual:
I discovered them becasue they supported Feeder and were much better than Feeder too. I was hooked instantly. I had a kerrang cd which had souvenir on it and a melody maker one with ultra viloet,  these were the first 2 songs i heard (apart from freeze the atlantic being on the sprite ad). They were such good songs so after listening to them repeatedly i rushed to buy WAA on its release date. 9 years on im still listening to it regularly, partly refuelled by this site and the new covers album thats due.

Martin:
I was in my first year of senior school and a niceolder  indie chic called ruth leant me a copy of Down Lift.. It was all over from that point!! spent the next 5 years drumming like Richie Mills and Neil Cooper!

Unforunatly at 12 years old I couldn't go to any gigs! I missed them play at the Big City Bash in Derby becuase I had to go to my grandparents golden wedding anniversary! Bastard!

I saw them at Union 1 in Derby, I actually went with Greg on this forum...

I travelled to London to see them at the Camden Barfly when they wore loads of tweed, it was amazing!

The last time I saw them was at the Vic in Derby, it was the last time they played Derby, it was really bad, I went to speak to Matt after the gig and he looked really deflated, sat on the floor drinking a bottle of whine!

A few weeks later they had split up...

I couldn't go to the last gig becuase it was a week night and I was still in year 10 at school, making me 15!

Looking back I should so have bunked off!

Pete Cable:
I hated the Vic gig. It sounds wank now, but I felt Derby let us down - it wasn't even full, was it? I mean it was busy, but it was the smallest gig on that tour. I don't think any of you knew that it was over at that point, but that night I was pretty disgusted with the turnout and the stiffness of the gig. It was probably unfair, but it seemed like our home town had let us down.
