=========(__)  said about 5 years ago  or at  1:26PM on Sunday, September 10 2006 in events

I havent seen since the weirdo show at mac unis when the flew in by helicopters .... one of the best bands (if i remember correctly) ever! Is anyone still into their shit?

It's quite possible no-one cares, but I do. Urge Overkill are releasing a new LP on the 10th of May. Rock & Roll Submarine!

No Blackie, they have a new drummer and bass player.

You can even download a track here.

Bonza! I fucking love this band.

'Exit the Dragon' was such a overlooked album.


venompstinger  said about 1 year ago:

i'm with ya helzapoppin. I remember it was quickly relegated to $2 bargain bin land after it was released. The Break, Need Some Air, Jaywalkin, Tin Foil - so good.


Hellzapoppin  said about 1 year ago:

Haha, I picked up my copy in the Myers $2 bin about 2 weeks after it was released. Still listen to it ever few months. So many great tracks - This is No Place, View Of The Rain, The Mistake!

don't understand the hatred directed at this band. they were good, not sure if they still are. exit the dragon is tasty. saturation is great. the earlier scuzzier stuff is kind of all over the place but i like it! kick arse cover of emmaline on one of those records too. i think they may have done themselves a disservice by trying to be fashionable and ''cool'' instead of letting their music do the talking.


MATTPHEONIXxoxoxo  said about 1 year ago:

They always seemed fashionable and cool tome, and their music is kick ass!


MATTPHEONIXxoxoxo  said about 1 year ago:

Fuck that song sounds like sweet ol urge overkill to me!

I loved these guys growing up.

Saw them play the Metro in 2006 (maybe 2007) but they weren't very good.

Nash Kato still looked the same. Eddie King had piled on the pounds though.


turkey_sandwich  said about 1 year ago:

new song is pretty fine..


=========(__)  said about 1 year ago:

sounds good as gold


rosevich  said about 1 year ago:

I saw them at that Metro show (2006-07ish) and they were fucking amazing.

Crack Babies sent the crowd wild.


turkey_sandwich  said about 1 year ago:

crack babies is a great tune


september  said about 1 year ago:

everything on saturation and exit the dragon is good.


bungle  said about 1 year ago:

I only know them from that song on the Pulp Fiction soundtrack. Is that an indicative song?


Mo  said about 1 year ago:

nah mate, much more ''guitar rock'' than that song


hungryhungryhippo  said about 1 year ago:

Saturation is the soundtrack to my mispent fingerbangin' youth.


Mo  said about 1 year ago:

saturation is such an apt album title given the guitar sounds on that record


rosevich  said about 1 year ago:

the song from PF is a cover of Neil Diamond (is that right?)... its good but not definitive


september  said about 1 year ago:

nash cato asked me for a sharpie at the corner gig and i didn't realise that sharpie was a brand of texta and i said, 'ah i think you can get one from the chemist maybe but i don't know any that are open right now. there's a 24 hour chemist in carnegie but that's miles away.'


jimmy hutspah  said about 1 year ago:

i saw them ages ago at the Palace, musta been mid 90's or something, maybe a bit later....anyways, it was fucken loud, and good.


jimmy hutspah  said about 1 year ago:

that was when the Palace was the Palace and not the Metro.


hungryhungryhippo  said about 1 year ago:

Did he mention why he wanted the sharpie September? Write the set list? Sign ladies boobies? Why Nash?


venompstinger  said about 1 year ago:

@jimmy

sounds about right. I remember they also played o-week at Monash and I am pretty sure that was 1995.


september  said about 1 year ago:

i went to the o week gig at monash too.

i think to sign, HHH.


crackwhore  said about 1 year ago:

i second whatever September posts in this thread, the corner gig was fucking ace !


losgauchos  said about 1 year ago:

i have vague memories of seeing them at monash union night in the mid 90s. fuck its been a long time since i was a teenager.


crackwhore  said about 1 year ago:

i remember them supporting inxs at fishermans wharf on the goldy in 94' except i wasn't a teenager.


turkey_sandwich  said about 1 year ago:

i like the sharpie story. good stuff. guitar sounds crazy horse-ish on this new single, tasty.

it's like rock for people who don't listen to music.


crackwhore  said about 9 months ago:

sure it is.
