Not in the slightest. Their debut album makes me want to injure myself and others... I mean when they first appeared I was sympathetic to what they were trying to achieve, they were just crap at it... A bit too much style over substance for my liking. That said - it's not nice to hear of someone's career getting hampered by suffering a stroke at such a young age  Best wishes to him (and them)...

Well I'll miss them. I've really love everything they've done and there's not many bands I can say that about. |

yeah, I liked them a lot. Saw them quite a bit in the early days - upstairs at the Garage, Nambucca etc.....they were great. Their first few singles were fantastic. And as an aside this picture of Kate's feet are my most popular photo on flickr |

I liked Couples a lot - am only just digging backwards. So it is a shame. I missed them live a few years back due to the Leadmill's infuriating tendency to start (and finish) gigs ridiculously early so they can have a drinks promotion after. Arrived for the last few bars of the last song. (Mind you, they were third on the bill - worse was the time I rolled up at 8:30 to find that the headline band had already started..) |

The only tears shed here were watching the final part of Sunshine tonight. Long Blondes were ok but not as good as they looked. |
