London Calling (Jade's Music Blog)

London Calling

Towers of London have offered us an exclusive chat next week, and if you have any questions you'd like me to put to Donny Tourette and the band I'd love to hear them!
You may of heard of this lot through Celebrity Big Brother or the constant pictures of them out and about with various members of the Geldof family or maybe just through their reputation for their live shows, but now they are on their way to Barfly on March 8 to strut their stuff.

Towers Of London (Donny Tourette: vocals, Dirk Tourette: guitars, The Rev: lead guitar; Tommy Brunette; bass, Snell: drums) have ruffled more feathers than any British band since The Libertines.
But, it seems that the lads are now more interested in making a name for themselves as musicians, and Donny has been talking fondly about his Merseyside connections:
"I spent the first six years of my life in Liverpool, and you hear those old Beatles melodies so much it soaks through into the way you write."
So, if you fancy asking them any questions, just pop them in a comment below along with your name and I'll happily oblige!

Donny Turetes is a right loser! I'd never even heard of him before he goes on big brother! He shows up there, shooting his mouth off,like a kid who just learnt a few swear words, jumping in the bath with all his clothes on and thinks he is king dick, well so what? He's just a fake rocker. He couldn't hold a candle to the likes of Iggy or Johnny Rotten in his day.

If you could be in any band that ever existed apart from your own, which one would it be?

Gotta be the Sex Pistols, with Jimi Hedrix on guitar and Keith Moon on the drums, just as a one off! And I'd be Johnny Rotten cos I can't sing either!

Oh lighten up, Bazz! Donny was brilliant on Buzzcocks last night. He just likes having a laugh, and what's wrong with that? Yes, he swears a bit, but at least he doesn't keep on spitting everywhere, like some singers I could mention! He was a legend on Big Brother, I was gutted when he left.It would have been much more funny if he had stayed in. We need more like Donny - he's a real rocker. And he's not exactly fallen out of the ugly tree!

Ask him how does he expect to be taken seriously as a musician when he behaves like an idiot? At least Pete Doherty has talent

Exactly my friend! But this Docherty fella's no great shakes either. I couldn't name a single one of his songs. Everybody knows My Generation and Anarchy in the Uk.
