Little Man Tate Knock Fellow Sheffield Acts

Little Man Tate, have had a dig at their fellow Sheffield acts for not being very charitable.

The band were speaking after their benefit show at The Plug in Sheffield on Saturday (August 4), which raised money for victims of the recent floods which blighted the city.

Frontman Jon Windle told the NME: “I was surprised that more Sheffield bands weren’t playing. I think there were people who have more power in the industry could have done something, but I guess they were too busy or something.”

Sadly their was no mention of the chart conquerors Arctic Monkeys or their nemesis Jarvis Cocker. Earlier this year the former Pulp frontman labelled LMT as “an absolute pile of shit.”

As previously reported, Little Man Tate play their biggest show to date this winter. It takes place at Blackpool’s Empress Ballroom on December 15.

Maybe it’s because noone wanted to play with them. Did you know that they used to be a boy band? I’ll get some pictures if you want. Well funny.

During the gig Jon Windle mentioned the ’Floodstock’ concert this next weekend, with Milburn and a number of other Sheffield and London bands - so the NME, and by extension gigwise, are trying to make him sound sneering when in reality he and his band are a lovely bunch - and talented, too. Get your facts straight and come to gigs instead of relying on 2nd hand gossip to slag them off.
