Old Gold Posted May 20, 2006 Report Share Posted May 20, 2006 I'm not sure... if someone did go to the trouble of hoaxing the whole thing, it must have taken a lot of work. There's entire essays with shitloads of research into the apparent 'origins' of noise music, which are quite frankly, unlikely.The merch on the cafe press site is a work of art though.

Guest bluesxman Posted May 22, 2006 Report Share Posted May 22, 2006 I'm sure anyone with an interest in playing drums would say that Lightning Bolt's drumming is not the work of someone just messing about, it's pretty incredible stuff especially over the course of a whole set. And not that I know much about playing bass but it certainly strikes me as a case of ditto for that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lepeep Posted May 22, 2006 Report Share Posted May 22, 2006 I went along because sinky had told me they were amazing to hear and see, and , he was right...just because someone doesn't undestand what they are looking at, they shouldn't think that everyone else should think the same!If mr 72 was there, he should have left if he didn't like it!I thought it was a great gig, but thought they played for too long, and was slightly glad that the PA died !Scotch egg had the right length of set...a fantastic loud night.
