If these guys were a joke band they would be fantastic. I think that's why I liked them at first, but three songs in I realized they were fucking serious. They are a would be a hipster version of Spinal Tap if Spinal Tap was a real band. What's worse is they play really really really really really boring repetitive songs that go absolutely no where. The most entertaining thing about this band was the denim unitard Aaron Mardo was wearing. But that's only because I saw my step mother wearing one in 1988 and she looked so dumb; I still to this day laugh about it. They even managed to turn the Thurman, one of the sexiest instruments in rock n' roll (see jon spencer)... gay. Mardo did so many ass maneuvers toward the Thurman I swear the antenna shrunk. If you want to see what's wrong with "indie rock" aesthetic and creativity in music today please go see this band. It will become apparent to you immediately. http://www.myspace.com/mardo
Ok guys... so I am implementing a system to identify bands based on our interaction with them the night of the show. If you or anyone you know is offended by this... well... we don't care. The rating system is as follows: GGGB - good guys good band GGBB - good guys bad band BGBB - bad guys bad band BGGG - bad guys good band
I am Nick. I travel with a bands as a tour manager of sorts. I have witnessed so many good bands I will never forget... so many horrible bands I (regretably) will never forget as well... and so many bands that I can't remember for some reason. So... I have this blog to help my memory and keep me busy while we drive for days and days and days... and days
What's going on here...
Music reviews in 150 words or less... of bands that you might not see in pitchfork but you will definitely see going boom boom in the bp bathroom somewhere off US Rt. 80.
P.S. lately I have been reviewing bands that you do see in pitchfork. BOOOOOO! I SUCK!
