deterrent Posted February 2, 2005 Share Posted February 2, 2005 They are sick!!! You hit the nail on the head, the cd is good but live it's powerful. Their stiff yet purposeful movement, wildly strong personalities, three percussionist (2 of which must likely smoke pcp or they just really need attention and the Herchey's chocolate shell on the ice cream center stage a skinny chick playing the accordion. FUCK, I need more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

seeking Posted February 2, 2005 Share Posted February 2, 2005 i saw em a couple months ago. i liked it, but i could never shake the fact that : 1. i fucking hated the guy in the helmet. he was like andy dick, but twice as annoying. i kept praying that the smoke would fill his lungs and cause him to suffocate. what flames you ask? the ones from the fire, inside the arcade, stupid! 2. they sound reeeaalllyyyyy like the talking heads. a fact which was only exacerbated by their incredibly poor (IMO) decision to cover a talking heads song. even before they did that though, i spent the the majority of the show singing talking heads lyrics (quite loudly) over their music and giggling like a school girl. all in all, i liked them, and i can understand why others do too, but at first (and only) listen (i'd never heard of them before being dragged to the show) they were reaaaaal 'influenced' in a way that i have problems respecting too much.

velocet Posted February 2, 2005 Share Posted February 2, 2005 I love this band.. They're all the rage in hipster circles right now.. Which usually means bad news, and I usually have an aversion to that sort of stuff, but damn if this band doesn't kick some ass.. I've been listening to them the past couple of months.. Went to one of the shows (awesome). Some of the really best music i've heard in a while. Seeking I would suggest downloading or buying their album.. Giving it a thorough listen.. Neighborhood #1 (Tunnels) is my anthem of the year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nomadawhat Posted February 2, 2005 Share Posted February 2, 2005 but seriously folks...this is the last album i downloaded before i disconected my cpu. i have to wait to get it hooked back up to check it out. but i've been hearing the name tossed around a bit latley. probably not my usual cup of tea, but i do like the talking heads.

Poop Man Bob Posted February 3, 2005 Share Posted February 3, 2005 Their album is great, and I'd love to see them live. I was IMed that they were playing on Conan last night, but I was already asleep. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dick Quickwood Posted February 3, 2005 Share Posted February 3, 2005 i saw them on Conan last night, the rusty metal as the cymbal was funny, i think as i watched them, i thought it sounded very new wave, if i remember correctly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnny Posted February 3, 2005 Share Posted February 3, 2005 yeah, i found a grip of their shit on google. it's mostly crappy recorded stuff but there's a live album and radio appearance that are easily accessible in mp3 format. i bought that album because i liked it so much. no cars go and neighborhood#1 are ballin ass songs.

boogie hands Posted February 3, 2005 Share Posted February 3, 2005 you lucky shit.... my little brother turned me on to these guys (hes in a band with two drummers....what would you expect?) and ive been rocking out ever since. i probably should check my local show listings...maybe i will actually get to see them at some point.

suburbian bum Posted February 3, 2005 Share Posted February 3, 2005 Damn... I had my doubts about this band, but then I listened and realized they are fucking awesome. My favorite tracks are Haiti and Neighborhood #3 (power out). I kept listining to those tracks the first night i got the cd and i swear it pumped me up so much I couldnt sleep. The musical layering blows your mind if you listen with nice headphones, you notice crazy shit like a small noise in the background that all the sudden takes over the main melody of the peice, harmonizing with every other instrument and you just are like HOLY FUCK! The lyrics are equally awesome. http://pitchforkmedia.com/record-reviews/a...e/funeral.shtml that review helps you understand the album more.

Ski Mask Posted February 3, 2005 Share Posted February 3, 2005 they are definately deserving of all the hype. if you want to check them out you can try the CBC radio 3 session they did. its on the website ( http://www.cbcradio3.com ) as part of the special music issue.

Guest kidlugz Posted February 7, 2005 Share Posted February 7, 2005 Somehow, we canadians are pumping out tons of great music as of recent. I recommend Cuff the Duke from good ol' Oshawa ontario( http://www.threegutrecords.com or http://www.cufftheduke.com). OR, you can go to http://www.cbcradio3.com and check out their profile in last weeks issue--101 bands type thingy. And yeah, The arcade fire kicks ass, despite what seeking says.

Guest kidlugz Posted February 7, 2005 Share Posted February 7, 2005 oh, and if you're okay with listening to complete pussy ass sissy boy tunes, check out the hidden cameras. It's probably a bit too gay for most people, but I jam out to it and i think almost for sure that i'm straight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
