Guest ForbiddenFruitcake Posted May 5, 2004 Report Share Posted May 5, 2004 what does everyone think of them? i know a few of you will have seen them at triptych last week...i personally think they are awesome, and have been listening to their cd on repeat since i saw them, their live show was ace and the constant sexual references and imagery are excellent, but some think they're just a bad joke...any thoughts?

psydoll Posted May 5, 2004 Report Share Posted May 5, 2004 Well they're nae Black Label Society that's for sure I like them alright - was quite disappointed that I missed the Mute night and thus them but I do like what I've heard on CD. I like King Adora though (and am over 14 ) so maybe that nullifies my opinion Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kirkt Posted May 6, 2004 Report Share Posted May 6, 2004 i think their ace...like a mix of dexys midnight runners and new york dolls...very entertaining to watch... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garygilmore Posted May 6, 2004 Report Share Posted May 6, 2004 You've not mentioned early Roxy...Synth played like Eno, Lead Guitarist with Manzanera shades, inclusion of Saxaphone...the whole Retro feel.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lepeep Posted May 6, 2004 Report Share Posted May 6, 2004 I thought they were entertaining too, but staying power ? (hmm...the joke wore a bit thin by about half way through the set for me !).I think the image got in the way of the music (on stage), I should check out the CD and listen, without watching.peep Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
unknown pleasures Posted May 6, 2004 Report Share Posted May 6, 2004 It seemed a bit studied to me. I think it's possible to try too hard.I mean, they were lively - I just struggled to find any tunes interesting enough to drag them out of the novelty quagmire.... although I did find the bass player's mad speedhead staring mildly entertaining.
