Awesome band. I heard the bad news last week. Did you catch them when they played in New York last year, Faust? I was out of town but my friends who attended said it was nuts... </p>

No, I missed it. To be honest I've been out of touch with the Russian "Bohemia" scene in NYC for a while, although I used to be pretty heavily in the loop (in the days when Gogol Bordello played in front of a 50 people audience).</p>

What was the party on Canal and Broadway(?) that they played/DJed at on Saturdays? Those parties were nuts. You had to really misbehave to turn a head there.</p>

Heh. You don't like the song or just singing from it? I think that's the best song on the album.

Re: What are you listening to?



as always this thread is a great and interesting source of music... right now I can't get enough of Battles - Mirrored - probably my favourite album that's come out recently.</P>


Mixing it in our store stereo with Scott Walker - Scott 3, and Kompact - Total 8. Kinda weird combination butso good...</P>

Checked it out - the music is brilliant, but what's the purpose of the singer? Unite this band with someone possessing fiery lyrics and this will be a real winner.</p>

I don't think they're that kind of band, especially considering where they come from ( i.e. Don Caballero). If you're looking for something bearing a passing semblance with a little more singing, Pinback might be up your alley (although I wouldn't describe them as "fiery" either). Personally, I think the amount of singing and the effected vocals are flawless for the band and were a perfect innovation to help make the album seem an evolution from their EPs.

The lyrics might be the only place for the band to improve... although I like the non-sensical "computer squeek"-vocals on most of the songs. Definitely a nice addition to a band that used to be instrumental only, though. </P>


Another great band almost in the same vein, except with more 8-bit-beeps-and-bloops, is Crystal Castles. Their album has a couple more throwaway tracks on it, though.</P>

Mehanata is gone now, right? I was very, very bad there once. [79] I thought it was a Hungarian joint though...
