Another chronic band for the teenyboppers to adore......the View should just stay drunk permanently and they wouldn't write any more crap songs or tour, I can only dream.

I was there that night, and TECHNICALLY speaking, the gig wasnt scrapped. Kieren and the other boys tried to pull off the show. Don't get me wrong it was a shambles, but the gig wasnt actually cancelled. You can read my review of this gig at ng-magazine.com the online magazine for the Nottingham area.http://ng-magazine.com/Diary/Music/The_View:_Live_Review_Nottingham_Bodega_Social,_24th_October_2008/

Kirkcaldy was a similar shambolic performance, although Kyle only threatened to leave, didnt actually do it. When they were good they were very good...but as for the rest of it...theres a good review herehttp://extremelisteningmode.com/2008/11/30/the-view-ocean-nightclub-kirkcaldy/
