Before you know it, a baguette loaded with cigarettes will be used as a stage prop. In every single one of our most cherished independent venues, we are witnessing the bunkum cannons spraying with reckless abandon and creating an audio experience that isn’t for comedy like it is on the show, but for the sake of “art” and a genuine want to become successful.
It isn’t just the unironic aesthetic choice to don zoot suits of Hans’ band in Brockley that makes me say this, it’s also their music.

It’s all laughs when Jez and Hans appear on a TV screen, but when they play your local venue and attract a crowd, it’s a cause for concern.įans of the show – who also happen to be music lovers – are all too aware that there are many outfits following in the path of groups like Danny Dyer’s Chocolate Homunculus, but without the irony that characterises the fictitious Peep Show. Life has become so ridiculous that even the most outlandish characters from one of our most cherished TV shows have sprung to life and are permeating our favourite venues with their musical creations, and in my opinion, it is not a good thing. Camberwell, Fallowfield, Headingley, and Kemptown are crawling with these misanthropes. The duo were once only fictional Nathan Barley-esque edgelords, but now, they are ubiquitous in admittedly “cooler” aesthetics. In another stroke of genius from Bain and Armstrong, their take on the most deluded elements of hipster culture was not only a brilliant parody, but it had so much foresight that it has now come to life. Think a talentless version of Donald Fagen and Walter Becker from Steely Dan. By this point in the show, we have long since realised that Jez and Super Hans are the archetypal hipsters with a disdain for absolutely everything that anyone else does.
