The Yoko Effect - 2012

'But I see you, I still see you' 'Run, run away from me I see you you run' 'Walking out that door Under the thumb' 'But I wont wait for you Now that it's done' 'Run, run away from me I see you you run' 'Walking out that door Under the thumb' 'But I wont wait for you Now that it's done' (Cheering and applause) Did everyone get my e-mail about 'Careless'? Is that a new song? It's cool, I've printed the sheets out anyway. Thank you. Ta very much. What's up with your neck? I think I've got tonsillitis. You're fine, your voice's still there isn't it? - Yeah but it's like if I hit the high notes… - Come on babe, buckle up yeah? I need to take photos of you all, especially Stevie. I can never get any good ones, he's always in some dark corner. Story of my life. Everyone set for 'Runaway'? OK then, 1-2-3-4. - Sorry. - No problem. - Sorry I wasn't quite ready. - And again…1-2-3-4 'I saw you walking down the street I say you're looking like the kinda guy' 'I'd like to see Sleeping next to me, tonight' 'You turn your eyes to the other side Typical City guy, cynical, in your self you like to hide' 'But I'm not from around here So don't worry about...' - It's OK Kate, just find the line and we'll take it from the chorus. - I know this, I know this bit. I really like the chorus. The song works doesn't it? But…you know... She'll get there eventually, she always does. Yeah…eventually! You know you should… It'd be worth the risk. I told you, no, it's not worth it. But isn't that what the industry is about? Taking risks? Not when you've been in a band with your friends for a long time. You just don't know a good thing when you see it. Did I sound OK? You sounded great. I can't bear the thought of messing up on stage. Oh don't worry, we've only started rehearsing. People will think I'm stupid. That's not true. It's just that I find the song a bit hard to keep up with. It still does? I was wondering if we could perhaps slow the rhythm down? Slow it down any more it'll be a bloody ballad. Anyway I thought we were done with that song? Well we talked last night, I thought that it'd be better it was a bit slower. Uh…we? I mean me and Kate. So this is for Kate? No…this is for the song. Well…if you really think so. Cheers mate, I do appreciate it. What was that you were saying? Hey Sam, hi it's Stevie… Yeah um…I'm good thanks. Erm, I'm just calling you… Well you said I could call you if I ever needed a favour. Well I kinda need your help. Ah you can. Tomorrow? Yeah, yeah. 'Hey, you and your 'personality' 'Prob'ly goes back in your family tree Cause you're all inbred' 'Hey, the excuse that you said you were careless' 'Well 'babe' I couldn't care less 'cos now I'm free' 'I've swapped your lies for something real' Hey Sam, how are you? Very well thanks, you? Fantastic! Thank you so much for coming. Stevie? This is Sam and I thought it'd be great to bring her in and get a fresh pair of eyes… some advice on things, see if there's anything she could help with…you know…? I've just finished getting The Backbreakers signed to EMI and have some time to spare. Wow - ***. - Who? I'm going to ask you a question. How committed are you all to this? Like my life depended on it! We all believe in the band. Well, in my opinion from what I've just heard… You should be the lead singer, not Kate. What? What the ***? But we need the keyboards for the other... Well we don't, we can play them back during shows. Michelle, listen to Sam. You will be a better band if Michelle is the lead singer. Is she serious? I'm not sure... Well say something! But she managed The Backbreakers… You *** arsehole. What the ***? Someone had to take the initiative. And you thought you'd go behind my back? You know the band is having problems. Since when? This is typical. What's typical? You can't see it, can you? Kate cannot sing, she's holding us back. That's not true. You know what your problem is? You're blind. I can see pretty *** clearly. You need to ask yourself what's more important. 'Hey, save her for a rainy day' 'Just like your *** mates will say You got a new girl' 'And you know just how that makes me feel' (Stevie starts playing) 'Hey, you and your 'personality' 'Prob'ly goes back in your family tree Cause you're all inbred' (Jonnie joins in) 'Ooooooh' 'Hey, the excuse that you said you were careless' 'Well 'babe' I couldn't care less 'cos now I'm free' 'I've swapped your lies for something real' I have to say that was fantastic, the band dynamics works so much better. In fact, I'd like to represent you guys. Wow. Jonnie? Michelle? But what about Kate and Jane? Jane has done a fantastic job but I want to use my contacts to further the band. - But… - And I wouldn't worry about Kate. She can be your backing singer. Every band needs a bit of eye candy. Well, I think we need to talk about this first. OK so if you all can get working on 'Runaway' I'll have a word with a few people about tonight's showcase. I thought we were starting at ten? Oh I called them to come in early, I thought it'd be good to make the most of the day. I didn't know. Well since you're here, I'd like to talk to you. About what? You've been a brilliant part of the band but we feel we need someone who's more proactive, someone who will push things further. But we all agreed to stick together. All the work I've done for you guys. You've still done a fantastic job… You know what will happen if you stick with Sam. Jane... I wish you all luck. She'll be fine, we'll find something for her to do. Now, let's get cracking yeah? We've got a showcase to rehearse for. (Cheering and applause) Hey! Michelle!
