'its pretty astonishing stuff; the complex, lyered, eerie machinations ofSigur Ros performed with the sentiment and volume of Trail of Dead's'Perfect Teenhood'..Drowned in Sound'it sounds like Skullflower, it sounds like Bardo Pond. This Cardiff-basedinstrumental guitar band has got the Twisted Village Sound down pat: vaguelylo-fi drone rock with the effects pedals turned up to 'DISTORT LOUDLY'. Thisis a MEGA debut, like Mogwai could be if they weren't such shy nonces: SonicYouth completely divested of all things Zorn'.Gideon Dwight, Careless TalkCosts Lives magazine.Listen to the Mountain Men Anonymous brilliant live session on Radio 1 Waleshttp://www.bbc.co.uk/radio1/alt/wales/in_session/020627mountain_men.shtmland check out their website at www.mountainmenanonymous.freeserve.co.ukYESSA DE PASO hail from Carnoustie, just beside Dundee.

Jim Stax Posted September 17, 2003 Report Share Posted September 17, 2003 Right that's it!!!I'm off to get myself a little venue that can produce crazy weekends such as above. And can also transform a venue from an at capacity poppunk sweatfest into a loungy chilled jazz bar in under twenty minutes, complete with candles on the tables, band on stage and low lighting. Jeez I can't wait. What? But! Oh my God!!! I already have one? Oh my Gibberish Asunder Break Neck God Lovin Motherflubber! WOW!!! Ahhhh the sweet taste of underground independence... A weekend to die for!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
