New-ish NME vampire garage punks the Horrors. Very fucking good actually. Video for sngle 'Sheena is a parasite' banned by MTV. Aparently Samanthat morton and Sqid guts is not fit for public viewing. That makes 'em fine by me...

Reverb  said about 5 years ago:

whoosh bit of a n00b when it comes to bands like that... But i get the gist of it.


switchbladesisters  said about 5 years ago:

is this the same Horrors who had a 7" called Shake Your Shit out in 2003?


Reverb  said about 5 years ago:

will find out...


Reverb  said about 5 years ago:

nope. Totally different band. Completely unrelated.


switchbladesisters  said about 5 years ago:

sweet.


Reverb  said about 5 years ago:

im afraid


switchbladesisters  said about 5 years ago:

of the previous Horrors? I thought maybe they'd just sold out and become lame NME love-fodder.... but now i've listened...


Reverb  said about 5 years ago:

you like the new horrors?


switchbladesisters  said about 5 years ago:

runs wildly from swiftly approaching hype-cloud

well... we'll say no.


Reverb  said about 5 years ago:

hahahahahaha. better safe than sorry.


Lorenzo St Dubois  said about 5 years ago:

I really dig the other Horrors, if it's the Horrors from Iowa with two albums from 2000 and 2002. Great shit slop blues punk band. I saw one photo of the new Horrors and naturally I wanted to kill them slowly.


Reverb  said about 5 years ago:

yes. Image oriented is too mild a term for them. BUT. it's almost better than bands who don't consider their image. In a way...


switchbladesisters  said about 5 years ago:

their time will pass with haste, Rigid.

But others will come in their place.... let's be ready.


Reverb  said about 5 years ago:

crosses and holy water?


Lorenzo St Dubois  said about 5 years ago:

I saw the (American) Horrors at a festival in Las Vegas in 2000. They were incredible!

The likes of the (UK) Horrors should be met with sharpened potato peelers and salt.


ProDelgado  said about 5 years ago:

These lot are a media productI think half of them worked for Face magazine...your standard all coke and style, no substance...

(they're better than Pink Grease though!)


Reverb  said about 5 years ago:

gotta find out who the fuck pink grease are...

anyone lookin' to off-load a ticket for tonight's show at the Forum for cheap?


steveholt  said about 3 months ago:

Happy with the early start and finish with having to work tomorrow morning and all.


kuroneko  said about 3 months ago:

See you there, melonfarmers!


LaxCharisma  said about 3 months ago:

I recommend getting there at 10PM. That support act could ruin your whole evening. Fuck they were bad. REALLY bad. They have made my shortlist of worst bands I've seen live.


registradus  said about 3 months ago:

I wanna see Jack Ladder though. ALLBROOK/AVERY do sound pretty shit though. Ill give them one song then head to the/a bar.


registradus  said about 3 months ago:

I have to work tomo morning too. But I only just got back from workin today. too much hurry hurry.


LaxCharisma  said about 3 months ago:

Jack Ladder was OK. He only got like 4 songs though...


whatwhat  said about 3 months ago:

hey lax, what was so bad about allbrook / avery?


LaxCharisma  said about 3 months ago:

I guess they had a jam or two and they get on OK. Maybe now they should write some songs or work out what they'd like their sound to be or if they just wanna be an improv band be able to play well enough to pull that off. Yelling ''whoop!'' into the mic every few minutes wasn't funny the first time and had diminishing returns each time they did so. The main singer/guitarist was like a 10 year old who has just discovered Nirvana...yeah another one.


steveholt  said about 3 months ago:

Excellent show last night. Albeit a little brief. Felt they were just getting warmed up when they played Still Life and then walked off. 3 song encore was brilliant. 'Dive In' probably my highlight. I'm a fucking sucker for shoegazey guitars - love it! I'll be happy when they've made 6 albums and have more of a cannon of songs and turn into Wilco playing 3 hour shows.


steveholt  said about 3 months ago:

Oh, and they sounded incredible.


LaxCharisma  said about 3 months ago:

Awesome. Good to hear...


registradus  said about 3 months ago:

Yeah sound was really good. really brought the drums to the front. and the bass. good job sound guy.

Was it just me or was the set like 50% primary colours?


registradus  said about 3 months ago:

Also. That was like 500% movement on the last time I saw them. Last time they were all in black in barely moved. They really are on their way to becoming a stadium rock band...


registradus  said about 3 months ago:

Also. allbrook / avery were not at all as bad as I thought they would be. Liked them a lot more than tame impala. But then, I don't like tame impala very much...


LaxCharisma  said about 3 months ago:

I thought more like 20% ''Primary Colours''...

I only heard Tame Impala a few days ago. I found em on my phone. Didn't mind it. I don't know how anybody could like that other band but yer know each to their own and that


steveholt  said about 3 months ago:

Pretty sure they played Scarlet Fields, Mirror's Image, Sea Within A Sea and Three Decades off Primary Colours.


LaxCharisma  said about 3 months ago:

Yeah. That sounds right.


steveholt  said about 3 months ago:

And Who Can Say


steveholt  said 25 days ago:

Sea Within A Sea... what a song.

Watching You Tube video of the film clip and a comment made in response to someone not liking the band was ''Have you been smoking AIDS?'' I had a chuckle.
