health on myspace.
health on real interweb.

they have videos up on myspace, btw.

i saw this band last winter and they blew me away. i only went because of a thread in the tech room. make the effort to see them.

Awesome. Thanks.

i too love this band. thanks fly.

I do quite like this band, but dick-on-stick these boys don't half dress like bumwits:

MrFood wrote:Hmmm... this thread is the very first I have ever heard of this band, and I have to say - that photograph has really really put me off wanting to learn anything more about them.

Is that a shame? You tell me.

it's a shame and pretty short-sighted. unless you only listen to bands who wear timberwolves and lightning bolts on their shirts.

I have to say, that's a mighty impressive, ambitious and wild tour they got booked there. fucking amazing!

MrFood wrote:And I don't understand the thing about the wolves / lightning bolt t-shirts. That's generally a signifier of trendy lameness too.

Then you wouldn't be interested in a band called Shellac.



For the most part, looks can be deceiving. Although, you can pretty much rule out any band that looks like this:



But, c'mon. Health looks like hippy-dippy doofuses. You could say that about most of the bands you listen to, I bet. (I know I can.)

I'm with ya MrFood. I've always thought that picture depicted them as dipshits. Didn't stop me from checking them out, though.

I saw 'em a few months ago. Pretty wild show. Some really cool, interesting sound experiments and driving rhythms- something about it kept me from loving it though. Had a hard time putting my finger on it.. seemed to lack substance or something.

Worth seeing, nonetheless.

And yeah.. that's one insane ass tour. If any of you guys are in Texas, I strongly recommend checking out their shows with Daniel Francis Doyle. Motherfucker's a badass. Check him out, regardless.

I only said that because when I saw that photo, they just immediately reminded me of this SCUM.

Hah!

Still, can't just a book by it's cover...
