I have a feeling these dudes would be right at home here....

When the footage of them in their other band showed up, as well as the video of them fucking around in the woods probably while making their album, I thought of this.

Because although people can be in a band, wearing costumes, playing technical and complicated music behind some ridiculous backstory, it doesn't automatically mean that those people are going be the sort of smugly satisfied, broadly-winking, theater-kid-adjacent, huge Zappa/Jam band/mainstream standbys of "weird" you usually find.

A high probability, but not guaranteed.

They might just be bored punk freaks.

This would be SO much better if they were angry middle-aged midrift heavy men in flannel shirts, shouting about their lousy sex life.

It is really cool to go see a band play live and they are just like you and me, because that is what I want from live music: relatability and a constant reminder that shit is mundane. It would be awful to take my mind off paying rent and feeding my cat.

Syke! I don't pay rent or have a cat, ahahahaha.

For getting your panties in bunch: NC.
Musically it was pleasant. Still haven't tried it without the visual component.

The above IS more flattering than what I've heard of this band in passing. For the record, I don't have strong opinions about them. I remember, back in like the mid-aughts or whatever, there was a Crap/Not Crap thread about rock bands that play video game soundtracks live. Can't remember if I weighed in then. But just the other night, I bought a recording that one of these groups made more recently of the original Double Dragon music. It was/is good for a laugh and they did a surprisingly good job on it. In excess these sort of things, and bands like Angine de Poitrine, might wear thin, but here and there, they can have their place.

No vote.
