Band of Susans
1Terrific, often unsung band. If you like Husker Du you owe it to yourself to check out this band.
Re: Band of Susans
2Total not crap. Dense blocks of guitar, totally coming from the Rhys Chatham / Glenn Branca lineage, grafted to Rock.

3I read that every single member of this band is a satanist and that they only allow other satanists to load in their gear and where possible they only eat at restaurants owned by satanists. Pretty wild!
Great band. Satanism doesn’t totally bother me but.

5Yeah, that’s why Page Hamilton quit after Love Agenda. Susan wanted him to make a dark pact with Baphomet and he was more interested in G&L guitars.Haydon wrote: Sun Dec 03, 2023 10:31 pm I read that every single member of this band is a satanist and that they only allow other satanists to load in their gear and where possible they only eat at restaurants owned by satanists.

Re: Band of Susans
6Not Crap, but a lot of the songs fall a little flat. I do like Stenger's voice quite a bit.
Re: Band of Susans
7Very good, anybody who like Sonic Youth or Yo La Tengo, should definitely check them out. The weird love affair with Leo Fender is an amusing affectation.
Re: Band of Susans
8Love Agenda is excellent, though Robert Poss did burn Bibles and Pope John Paul glamor shots on stage.
We're headed for social anarchy when people start pissing on bookstores.

9Terrific guitar sound. Duh. Solid band that I always enjoyed seeing live. There was something a little bit friendly but clinical about them compared to their wilder, more grand Guignol NYC noise-guitar peers. (I hear BoS as having been way, way more Chatham-influenced than Branca-influenced.) But that's not necessarily an awful thing, either. Some people might even consider it a selling point. An easy not crap, a few waffles.

10It's almost like if you took the massive guitar sound of Fred Sonic Smith/Bob Mould and slathered it over Til Tuesday chilly new wave songs. They made it work.OrthodoxEaster wrote: Mon Dec 04, 2023 10:39 am Terrific guitar sound. Duh. Solid band that I always enjoyed seeing live.
