The Zutons get booed at T4 On The Beach
Oh dear. It seems that The Zutons had an ice cold reception from fans at their recent T4 On The Beach gig.
We’ve always had a soft spot for The Zutons here at Unreality Music, and were looking forward to the release of their third album. However, with the release of Always Right Behind You, we got that sinking feeling that the band had made some bad musical decisions.
Frontman Dave McCabe has acknowledged the lacklustre reception the album has received, but seems to be putting it down to fate…
I wanted it to go to No.1 and sell millions. I’m gutted. Maybe it’s just our time to fall out of favour. But we’ll just keep gigging. That’s what we love doing the most.
“Time to fall out of favour”? How about “We ballsed up and wrote some bad songs. We got complacent. We misjudged our fanbase.” Three much more valid explanations for the performance of You Can Do Anything – ironically named because apparently they can’t please their fans. Oops.
We’ll keep hoping for an improvement in their fortunes, but as our earlier single review said, if the first track from an album is a flop, the rest is likely to be a disappointment as well.

i think this artical twists the facts a little. i was at t4 on the beach this year and the crowd wasnt booing due to poor songs, it was the fact that the zutons frontman was clearly miming. we paid a lot to see these bands and its undertstandable the crowd get angry when they are being cheated out of a live performance.
the crowd were booing, but only one section, the one i was in, most over sections didnt notice, where i was one or two people noticed and the news quickly spread, shocking display
