murakami Posted September 20, 2009 Share Posted September 20, 2009 this band is a MUST see if they hit your town. their live show was probably the most entertaining thing i have ever seen. here are a few poorly taken phone pictures that dont do the band justice they started the show by not setting up on stage, but on the floor...completely surrounded by the crowd after having every garbage can on the floor emptied out and thrown all about the crowd (at one point the singer put one over the drummers head) they got to this point... ....the singer crowd surfing while playing a drum now, during the whole set, the band moved the drum kit all over the floor. at one point, the guitarist was playing the bass drum while standing on a ledge in the back corner of the room (sadly didnt get a good picture of). by the end of the night, the drummer had probably played in 5 or six different places.... ...including bringing the entire drum kit up into the 21+ balcony area in my life of seeing shows, i have never seen anything like this. i HIGHLY recommend checking them out ASAP Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
birdwell Posted September 20, 2009 Share Posted September 20, 2009 They're playing around here next month...last time they came through they set up in the crowd (as you noted)...ended up on the bar, then setting the bar and the stage (which they didn't use) on fire while the singer was crowd surfing around and rockin' out quite the radical show indeed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xjustinxschwierx Posted September 20, 2009 Share Posted September 20, 2009 yeahwhen they played at Fest a couple years ago they fucking ruled...started on one side of the room and ended up finishing their set with all three band members playing on the opposite side of the room and all standing/playing on the bar of the venue! when they finished their set there was like a moment of silence, for it all to register and then literally everyone in the room was up in arms cheering and chanting holy shit! holy shit! holy shit! holy shit! over and over for like 5 minutes. Seriously one of the best live band "performances" I've ever seen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lokithelion Posted September 20, 2009 Share Posted September 20, 2009 They took the drum set out to the parking lot mid set at my local bar, along with about half the crowd who of course took their beers. Thankfully they also set fire to the bar so the anger over the crowd and the beers quickly became "WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU DOING!?!" The sweet lady who runs my bar loves to have this band back to make the locals happy, but can't be there when they are. She get too freaked out.

Seriously one of the best live band "performances" I've ever seen. I was there for this and it ruled especially when the crowd yelled holy shit for five minutes. i saw them two more times, in a basement bar at the claremont colleges and then again at F Yeah Fest two years ago where they took show out of the club and onto Sunset Blvd. Seeing them friday in Austin, one of the best live bands I've ever seen.

acorren1 Posted September 21, 2009 Share Posted September 21, 2009 This band is insane live. Saw them last year at the Fuck Yeah Fest in Philly with Paint It Black, Dillinger Four, Matt & Kim, and the Circle Jerks. The whole show was amazing, but these guys were wild on a whole new level. At one point they went running out the side door and marching down the street with a snare drum just screaming. It was awesome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
