James - Curse Curse

Best of James: goo.gl/iiEtLz
Subscribe here: goo.gl/jkJg9u
James’s stunning new album ‘La Petite Mort’ debuted at number 11 a couple of months ago, and one of the many highlights from the album is the new single ‘Curse, Curse’ (August 25th). It is a dance-electro anthem that manages to lyrically combine fruity double entendre, tequila and iconic Barcelona footballer Lionel Messi.

Someone explain to me why this song hasn’t become a world wide anthem? It’s absolutely amazing, so underrated!!

[@michellekendall9453]

Well said 👏👏👏 xxxxx

[@MarkLLynch]

Its my weekend anthem :)

[@britishb7132]

Because they don't understand

[@bestthinger]

Yeah agree. It's a national anthem in my eyes.

[@luxxus4841]

No answer, unbelievable

[@acpmc76]

I'm somewhere in that crowd. A kid was standing next to me. He was there to see the next act that night and didn't know James. Tim Booth kept leaping into the crowd and everytime he was returned to the stage he would throw himself into the crowd again: "I want to be there with you guys!". The rain was pouring. Tim sang most songs in the arms of the crowd. The kid next to me turns and says "this is the greatest concert I've ever seen!" :)

[@dalehogg8074]

Bucket list for me. Amazing

[@sandrinhacristina75]

Hi, I was there too. Anxious that Tim Booth never left us, crowd. The light and love 😍 that he give us is esoteric. Wonderful day for you all that experienced James. A love that never dies.

[@iainlohan2346]

Just seen them twice in 8 days, he wanted to come into the crowd in Manchester but had been advised not too🙁🙁

[@barriejackson965]

That sounds amazing, they really are a brilliant live act

[@garybalfour3953]

Seen James few times live always a great gig so glad got to see this live 👌💙

[@TheJaggythistle71]

One of the best bands I've ever seen live.... they put on one hell of a show, tremendous!!

[@neondemon7617]

Tim booth - one of the great underrated frontmen.

[@matthewcamanoakamongoose511]

Having carefully weighed up the facts, and given due consideration to all intervening factors, I have to conclude that James is the best band in the world today

[@matthewcamanoakamongoose511]

Many are unaware of James. Such a travesty!

[@musicandlife3167]

Always!

[@shelleyhocking751]

I'm afraid you're correct

[@indiemusiclad]

you are so right never has there been a better band

[@ericcrawford9827]

Kissing arse will get you nowhere.

[@pacos.c.9363]

En español cojones!!! El mejor grupo inglés de los últimos 15-20 años sin ninguna duda. Los directos son para morirse!!! Ojalá les gustara España tanto como Portugal para verlos más a menudo. Por cierto gran país Portugal!!!!

[@joseqr9009]

Los puedes ver en Vilar de Mouros, Portugal, a 60 kms de Vigo. 26 de Agosto 2023.

[@Bustergonad9649]

Best English band of the last 40 years !

[@stewmercer800]

I find them as band/group which just connects, I've seen countless bands over the years, none have had the same effect as james, I can cry with happiness and elation, I can be sad,I want to dance, but I'm a bloke who can't but does, I can feel the words, I can just be...feck knows...just whatever...just a joy to listen an see. Over the years some bands I'm a huge admirer of and seen are Joy Division, The Fall, New Order, The Smiths, Charlatans, Carpets..all Manchester bands weirdly...but they are nowhere near as to how james...'feel me'...or I them...get me. A treasure. Hopefull a National one.

[@danielpalframan318]

Good old UK 🇬🇧

[@davidmckenzie8916]

One of the most underrated bands ever. Simply AMAZING.

[@mikethompson5549]

James the best back catalogue of the best touring band in 2023. Musical perfection.

[@mook16v]

James is by far the best band I’ve ever seen live. Truly amazing!

[@colinmacguire1959]

Agreed seen them at Glastonbury this year and they owned it...

[@steelad27]

What a song. I have followed James since i was knee high to a grasshopper. Best song this side of 2000. I love them. This is James at their best.

[@wakeup2thelies908]

Aye nae bother mate

[@gimo1976]

Best band i've ever seen live, amazing show from start to finish! Can't wait to see them again in July in my hometown Thessaloniki, Greece! Come on guys, we can't wait!!!

[@carlosrodrigues-kl6bg]

Com estes gajos nem que chovesse canivetes . Também lá estive, e estarei sempre que cá vierem. Obrigado por existirem no meu tempo. 💚

[@SandraSilva-jf4nd]

Estaremos

[@paulooliveira1976]

Um dos melhores concertos que eu já estive em 21 anos que me recordo de andar por estes meios. Foi também a primeira vez que estive ante um espectáculo com chuva de proporções bíblicas! Creio que a chuvada e mais uma série de ingredientes emocionais transformaram este numa experiência simplesmente épica! Obrigado Tim!

[@diogobarros1476]

E foi mesmo , muito bom

[@capj88]

já somos 2 ! tb não me lembro de apanhar tamanha chuvada em pleno mês de julho ...que concerto memorável e com direito a ouvir 2 x esta música e do vocalista ter dito que íamos fazer parte do video clip

[@micromys]

Tenho pena de não ter podido estar presente mas deixo o meu testemunho: o melhor concerto a que já assisti foi dos Smashing Pumpkins, em 1996, na Praça de Touros de Cascais. Choveu bastante mas o calor humano evaporou a água em nuvens de vapor. Os James também me são muito queridos, a primeira vez que os vi foi na minha cidade, Coimbra, em 1991 ou 1992. Fantásticos!...

[@cristinamachado5902]

Esta banda é brutal! A prova foi dada em mais um concerto épico, ontem no Coliseu do Porto! Lindoooooooooo! Só boas energias!!

[@alfmaumau]

Mesmo...foi chuva abençoada 😂

[@doracarvalho9293]

How proud that this was performed and recorded in my country and my town!!!!!!

[@Dave-Red]

Of all the albums La Petite Mort is my absolute all time fave, simply amazing from start to finish.

[@GayJayU26]

Their very best and I have all of them.

[@aslanmatar]

Completely agree. One of my top 10 albums ever.

[@aishikchakraborty6816]

Wish I can see you all live someday! Your music is just so heart touching and such beautiful, true and honest lyrics. I look up to you so much. Huge inspiration. Thank you for making such amazing music. :D

[@PauloGoncalvesGuimaraes]

I was there. Amazing, unique James. Thank you for this journey. So many years side by side....

[@Kurt013]

What an amazing night at Marés Vivas in PORTO, PORTUGAL!!!! Not even the heavy rain stopped us! Go JAMES!!!! :)

[@brendanbroderick2991]

Portugal seems to love James. Can anyone explain why this great country has such great taste in music?

[@LM_Spot]

Brendan Broderick easy Is Wife is portuguese, Portugal have sun, propõe are super, good food, good wine and segure countr👋👋👋👋

[@romeuska]

We have great taste for a lot of things, not just music... I think it because of the way we are raised, not the same nowadays, unfortunately!

[@alfmaumau]

And James Love Portugal, no doubt 😉

[@joefish9211]

Just great music

[@titairusso9333]

[@antonietapires2934]

James são indiscritíveis a nível, literário, musical, melódico e em palco...! ADORO ESTE GRUPO!!!!!

[@batman1964]

The famous (or not so much) british weather in Porto. I wasn't there physically but the pictures worth a thousand words. Enjoyable just seeing.

[@thekid9394]

Esta merda foi épica. Toda a gente ensopada e nem público nem banda quiseram ir embora. E ainda fica gravado em vídeo a alegria que foi este concerto. Fiquei super fan. Nunca senti tanta alegria numa banda a querer tocar para nós..

[@anafonseca4296]

Eu estive lá 🇵🇹 é sempre tão bom ouvir esta banda maravilhosa 🥰 🔝🔝

[@RemyFernandes-s4b]

This is one of the best song of millenium!

[@pacos.c.9363]

Que gran país Portugal!!! Para que James grabe este tema en directo allí... y si sois seguidores del grupo ese concierto en una estación guapisima es para morirse... Enhorabuena Portugal!!!

[@RevolutionaryPT]

One of the best concerts i've ever been on, if not the best. Everything was perfect, even the heavy rain. A trip to remember.

[@gavingortonstunes811]

Well 30 years +and still going strong as ever' each song when listened to tells a story and its like being emersed into the story and to me personally each song is genius and could never be bettered by any band. Back in 2001 Manchester live and some equipment broke and they weren't going to carry on till mended but they got there. It was like they were just jamming but the way they pulled it off was outstanding Tim booth said We got an idea and then it was Ladies and gentlemen welcome to our desease.....wich turned out in my opinion the best version of jonny yenn ever and now still I get such a buzz . The euphoria kicks in and the genius Larry gott came back on stage after just going off. And even years down the line still going strong as ever. Please give us at least another decade. Thanks for all your years of work and dedication as it has brought me from the bottom of my life back to the normality. I could go on and on but from the bottom of my heart thankyou. The best band in my life of listening to music and could never be bettered. Going to listen to a few tracks of a band called JAMES. 👍👍👍
