Okay, I'm probably behind the curve (as usual) on these guys, but, after friends telling me for many weeks that they would be "right up my alley", I finally checked 'em out and.... ! Love 'em! Hadn't seen anyone here post on them yet...here's the vid for "Atlas": http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IpGp-22t0lU
I will check your mix out, Joe- thanks! Just saw that they're playing La Salla Rossa in Montreal on 7/17- I'm there!
i think im gonna check them out when there here in toronto. that song really grew on me through the video
I saw them opening for Prefuse73's last tour and they rocked me like a hurricane. If they're playing anywhere near you, you absolutely must see them live. While the new record does a better job at capturing their live sound, you absolutely must experience their rhythm section in person. The director of the Atlas video has a pretty high quality version on his site: http://www.timothysaccenti.com/main.php ... ideo_id=33
i saw them at the empty bottle in chicago, right down the street from where I live, and they ROCKED! best new album i've bought in a while.
Had to revive this- saw these guys last night in Montreal- completely kickass. At times it sounded very much like a Mach-5 version of The Magic Band, which gave a Beefheart fan like me very special feelings, indeed. The pace of their between-tune “gellings”, as they synched up their machines for the next composition was a bit glacial at times, but when they locked in, it was all worth it. They worked really fuckin’ hard and put on a great show. And John Stanier? John Stanier is a motherfucker.
