If they are who I think the song they were singing sounds much like another band who jumped around yelling "your unbelievable"

I saw them a couple of years back at Camp Bestival. They are not my thing at all but were the highlight of the festival as they were so obviously talented. I'm 40 btw

Well they did feature middle aged women singing along to their music in "Mama do the hump" I love them too, they're a bit different.

They are brilliant - took DD to see them last year and thinking of getting tickets for next year too.

I'm 38! Grin.

I am 40 and saw them as part of Alton towers live last year with DS1 (12), they were fab! Far better than James Arrhur, little mix, labyrinth, stooshie etc. I really enjoyed rizzlekicks, they got everyone dancing and the energy was brilliant.

Not quite as good as Olly Murs though, he was great!

Absolutely love them and I'm 45. Sorry boys Grin

Loved their video for Mama...it's got their actual mums on it (they look about my age Shock)

Love their attitude as well. They had a thoughtful piece recently about not appreciating the sexism and homophobia in a lot of rap.

Also this is why they should bring back TOTP. I saw them on the TOTP of the Year - at Christmas last year. Without that sort of programme that appeals to lots of people, I would never have seen or heard of them (can't do R1 because too much inane talk and down with the kids stuff, can't do Capital because too much shouting, can't do any music tv channels because of twerking and I'm not having my 7 yo think that's normal).

Also TOTP was what everyone talked about on a Friday morning, when I were a lass. So many "oh my god, did you see..." moments from my childhood.

I was in Hmv the other day and had to ask what they were playing. It was Rizzle Kicks 'Lost Generation' on the latest clubland cd. Grin

Did they do Baggy Trousers with Madness at CIN Rocks? I've never really taken much notice of them before but they were pretty good. Are they suitable for 12/13 year olds who are into rap and Dubstep?
