i think the witch hats did a show with these guys, the lucky fucks. ooga boogas playin with em at gonerfest
We play'd about 2 or 3 i think they are totally awesome and fantastic dudes.
Total hicks!
Yeah, the album Sick To Death rules.
Up with there with Tyvek and Cheveu, I think.
the 7''s are absolutely killer, i still only have the first one, but heard the 2nd one, and all the tracks on the tape split with the wrecks are on the album too (except Leave the Universe) so i don't really need that
It was 3
Oakland House party,
L.A Echo
and
Portland Beerland.
They were all good shows,
Crazy guys, Rob and Rod.
Real 'DUDE!' type dudes who sit on steps drink'n cans.
Favourite song: If I'm Insane.
I was just listening to a band called The Whines, which features one of the Eat Skull guys girlfriends. Not too bad at all.
I like some of Eat Skull's stuff. Not all.
I found the LP a bit hard going at first. Everything made sense after I'd seen them live, and now I can't stop listening to the bloody thing. ''Punk Trips'', ''Puker Corpse'', ''I Licked A Spider'' are all bonafide fractured pop classics. One of the albums of the year for me.
Punk Trips melts my head off
eat skull bring it at gonerfest 5
it finally clicks for ubu and rigid and some other fella
the album definitely rules. i also wasn't sold on it at first. there's so much going on in there it's amazing.
A new song called ''Dawn In The Face'' is up on their myspazz now. A new album is taking shape as well entitled ''Wild and Inside''. I wish I found anything else interesting at the moment, but work is somewhat undewhelming.
holy shit acoustic guitar
not as good as Meat Skull
this band was the coolest thing about america, I left there lp at steves gaff mind you and his yoga was a bit off in the end
Did he tell you what to eat while listening to the album as well? I would suggest peanut butter & blood orange marmalade toast. I'm sure Steve would disagree though.
This record does indeed rule. Awesome band.
nah steve said bacon and eggs and we did, although I didn't eat them til after I had heard the record so I guess that doesn't count.
However peanut butter and marmalade are you having a laugh?
I had it the other day as I was out of jam and thought I'd give it a go cause I like...living on the edge maaan. It was equally awesome as it was gross. Just like Eat Skull.
I have observed that you do like living on the edge broooo
alright I will give it a go

Quoted for truth. And let's not forget the ludicrously overpriced drinks. Unfortunately, Woodland seems to have become the go-to venue for cool touring bands. Apparently there weren't many people at the show on Friday night. I think they could have probably pulled a lot more people to a different venue.
have they been good shows so far or what?
newcastle was banging
Yeah they ruled in Newcastle. Excited for the Melbourne show.
Heckle fest in Canberra last night.
Really looking forward to their gig with The Renderers and Slug Guts. Killer lineup.
man, I thought it sucked in Newcastle but after talking to people I think it was more a case of me being too drunk and lazy to pay real attention. Sunday in Syd though yeah yeah yeah
Were you there?
wish the show hadn't run so late and there weren't so many breaks between songs. i'm sure there was a perfectly legit reason but i had to be up at 5am. gave up halfway through.
I was. I renamed them Eat Shit after three songs. The songs were shit, their playing was shit, their jokes were shit and they got blown off stage by Slug Guts.
But hey, maybe they didn't consider Canberra to be worthy of a real gig, so just got really drunk and put in a terrible effort for that reason instead of them just being generally terrible.
Nada, was running on commentary provided by the above posting noneabove.
Yep, very fair assessment of the show.
Melbourne show tonight at the Workers Club. Will be awesome.
Any reports? I couldn't be arsed leaving the house in the end. Was going to sell my ticket but moshtix has some retarded system where one must change the name to pass it on.
Renderers awesome again. That is all.
were awesome in Sydney.. lots of gear breaking down while they held the songs together..
Renderers were great too..
Eat skull were great. Slug guts killed it too.
Didn't care much for the renderers, and a shitty mix with sound problems didn't help.
eat skull were fuckin' a. I thought the Renderers were awesome despite sound problems. Slug Guts are intolerable.
I miss the raspy vocals of a few years ago.
eats skull were most excellent. wrestling with their equipment as per usual. some great songs are buried underneath all the sloppy antics and drunkenness.
