UK BAND THE
VERVE IN SET LIST SHOCKER!
Self proclaimed as "best fookin band in
the world" UK band The Verve shocked its long faithful fan base last
week by adding the song Neon Wilderness to the recent UK tour set list!
This set list change left many of the Verve's long time fans close to speechless
after the shows on the January UK tour. Tom "Punter" Richardson
of Essex was quoted as saying " I have been a fan of the Verve for
five years and waited in line 17 hours to get tickets for this show--- but
my favorite band did not let me down!!" Sally Barrett of London had
this to say " They are so cool! I mean instead of boring us with
overplayed songs like Feel or Gravity Grave---they come right out of left
field with Neon Wilderness!!! Sally added " The Verve really have a
close connection with their fans,, it is almost like they can feel the
pulse deep inside my soul"
The set list change was not the only cool
move the Verve have made in recent weeks as the underground UK indie heroes
cemented their alternative status by selling their song Bitter Sweet
Symphony for USA shoemaker NIKE to use in a USA ad campaign. Long time USA
verve fan Gavin Murphy had this to say about the advertisment " Wow!
How cool can you get! I have long enjoyed NIKE footwear and The Verve, now
I can enjoy them together!!!" " I am even more psyched to see
Verve on ABC's Bloopers and Practical Jokes next week with Dick Clark!
Those guys are never short on humor and Verve and American network
television are a love affair just waiting to happen!"
