for me it was january of 2007 i think, i was on a train and there was a manchester evening news on the floor, i picked it up and started reading and then there was this r8 small bit about a band called the courteeners who are acquiring a dedicated local following or sumat like that and that they sound "unique" but reminiscent of libertines and oasis. i ripped the article out, put it in my pocket, and then went home n found them on myspace. when i heard em i was just like woah

In a radio interview Liam said that that was their first 'proper' gig so yeah. It was when they had the guitarist who wasn't Conan.

First saw them at the channel m gig with just liam and campbell (didnt go for them though cos i went with my missus to see her mate liam frost headlining the night) and we were both blown away.

I only knew about them a few weeks ago but I was looking through what was on at the Oxford Carling Academy and saw them and I was sure i'd seen them been given a really good review so I went on their myspace and here I am.
