Thrills Caught Between U2 and REM

Irish rock newcomers THE THRILLS are torn between supporting REM and U2 on their tours - or having a well-earned break.

The WHATEVER HAPPENED TO COREY HAIM? fivesome are opening for REM in the new year (05), but have recently been approached by BONO to warm up for his supergroup.

Thrills singer CONOR DEASEY explains, "There are a few offers coming in that will be hard to turn down but we're going to try to take a break then because I think we need to.

"It definitely tests your friendships and it's good after the last few years of touring the world together that we still get on well.

"But, having said that, you don't need to test friendships to those kind of levels so it's good to get away from each other for a while I think."

R.E.M are welcome to have the Thrills. They're dull dull dull!

Or ditch the thrills altogether and do a U2/REM MEGATOUR

it's another "is it true, is it not or is it exageration" news article from the infamous contactmusic bunch....it's not even worth discussion unless reported by somebody more reputable. next.

Any band that would turn down opening for U2 is fucked in the head.

The Thrills are boring anyway. And contactmusic is shite.

 

[stray dog]

u2/rem tour would be awesome!

Yeah, but you're American. Your opinion while powerful due to sheer idiotic mass, also is lacking substance.
