Thing is they still did loads of events and festivals as a group for a few years Their musical talent definitely got used and appreciated I’ve seen them live a couple times and it popped off
There was already a mocumentary series on the BBC about pirate radio from the early 2000's, they used that format fully, even the MC names were the same. However these guys nailed it so much better!
These guys are fools. I remember when I got recommended their first webisode back in 2010. I didn't get it at first but as I watched more and more and read the comments I understood the context of their humor. The whole imaginary beef with the other pirate station is what used to cracked me up. Finally remembered them after years of not knowing only to find out that they found success in this comedy business. Respect from Los Angeles homies 🇲🇽☝️ " GET OUT THE WAY, GET OUT THE WAY, SOMEONES GETTING GOT ! GET OUT THE WAY, GET OUT THE WAY, FUNKYS GETTING SHOT ! "
+tacheovale Yep, my gut tells me Grindah is legit the same in real life. I grew up listening to all those garage classics before I started mixing and producing d&b myself and the lifestyle, characters, social dynamic is all spot on. The characters are carbon copies of me and my friends, as I imagine it was for most watching too. Watch Grindah's face when Steve says he always wanted to write (taking the lime light). Trying so hard not to look jealous or affected by it, a reflex he simply switches of during the show and slightly exaggerates if anything.

It's nice to see this as a rags-to-riches grassroots story, starting out on RU-vid and working their way up -- but the fact is that Hugo is Keith Chegwin's nephew, and it's no coincidence he brought them all together. Keith wasn't the biggest star on the BBC in his later years, but he had connections there going back decades and I'm sure that helped these guys get their stuff on the right people's desks. No disrespect intended, the show is incredible, but it's disingenuous not to the mention the family link to Cheggers.
it's very Ricky Gervais and its got really big but i feel this could go seriously global if they got a group of good writers to help them bring the characters out a bit more and create some bigger story lines...BBC sort it out, can you not see a cash cow when you see it. What they do is genius, i used to work in the dance music scene for years and they got it spot on, every inch of it, to have serious talent in the spitting and music as well as taking the piss about life in the scene as a bunch of stoners makes them next level. its genius
People who say stuff like that about smoking weed are the ones that need it the most. I shouldn't even be dignifying that narrow-minded statement with a comment.
Everyone I know smoke weed and shit gets done all day long so I don't know why people say that its stereotyping its likes all Chinese eat Chinese food, all Americans eat nothing but hotdogs n' hamburgers the British fish n' chips, all Canadians Ovoid flying hockey pucks all day long eh People that drink beer also love pretzels.
I tried to get into this show. But the main character is waaay too derivative of David Brent. And there's one bit that's directly lifted from The Office. Is it worth watching betond Season 1?
Jimmy Skyblue they always copy our Shit like shameless, skins, inbetweeners etc.. but never works as they have a complete different sense of humour to ours.
