Admin phantom Posted March 31 Admin Report Share Posted March 31 I know I'm not "down with the kids" as I'm nearing 50 very rapidly but am I missing something about this guy being in Bristol? Is he a City fan or was he just wearing one of our kits? He has been popping up all day on various social media channels of ours but I was curious what the connection was? https://www.instagram.com/reel/C5LwQUpip0_/?igsh=MXdrdnIwczVxdnk2cA== https://www.instagram.com/p/C5MC1tuCxcC/?igsh=N21zNmtwdnVhc3lu Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lew-T Posted March 31 Report Share Posted March 31 He has been doing this around the world for 3 or so years now. But it’s really taken off and the numbers get bigger every year. I haven’t been to one myself but the drum and bass scene is huge in this City. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ziderarmy Posted March 31 Report Share Posted March 31 He a guy who rides around various places in a bike playing drum and bass music from speakers. He did one which started at the suspension bridge a while back. He’s very popular and is like a pied piper in that hundreds if not thousands follow him around the route. It’s usually all very good natured. I assume city have him the shirt with his name on the back as a PR exercise. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fpcity Posted March 31 Report Share Posted March 31 I, don't think he's from around here originally. I'd guess the club gave it to him for some social media promotion. Hes been doing these events for a few years but the last 18-24 months he's got really big. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As a side note, seems bizarre we have a thread about some drum and bass no mark and we have to have a different section for threads on LJ and Cotts etc. It just ain’t the same. 8 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fgrsimon Posted April 1 Report Share Posted April 1 For those not 'down with the kids' I believe Drum&Bass is the one where the music's at 45RPM but the drums are at 78RPM. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which is what I was listening to 20 years ago when I was a kidz. And they listen to it in the street. In daylight. Bit odd.

I know they have events like carnival all over Somerset and Pride parades etc but this looked chaotic, quite unorganised, traffic disruption (hospital appointments anyone?) and lots of litter being thrown around. Enjoy yourselves by all means but don’t expect others to pick up your rubbish at their expense. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tinmans Love Child Posted April 1 Report Share Posted April 1 You don't need to be down with the kids to like DnB it's been around for 30 odd years at least! FYI my nephew is one of the pics showing Dom his City badge 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bernard Lerring Posted April 1 Report Share Posted April 1 The club get a lot wrong (I'm not going to start a list, would take too long). But if it was a planned media tactic to give him a city top yesterday, then they should be applauded for getting that right - the footage seems to be everywhere Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are people of my Generation in that video. What does anyone gain from walking behind a bloke playing drum and bass? Is it a feeling of belonging? Just trying to get my head around waking up on a bank holiday and deciding to walk around Bristol streets following a bloke playing music on speakers? Drum and bass has been around for years...so it's not a new thing or for the 'kids'. Back in the day I used to watch local band Kosheen play regularly. Not being funny...just intrigued.

These events have changed since first starting. At beginning they moved at a faster pace so it was about getting people out for ride or jog while listening music, especially after lockdowns. Even though it's a walking pace it's better than staying at home watching Netflix? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
