Wooooo scaaary!

CRAP

I've heard all this shit before, done better by the people who did it in the first place.

NOT CRAP.

we played with them. nice guys. extremely stoned and they managed to make the venue smell like burning electronics after they played. plus, that guitar thing that he plays with one or two strings on there, and watching the bass player go nuts while playing.

This was maybe a year ago. Wolf Eyes was playing the great city of Rotterdam. The venue was a sort of auditorium-type room in a basement that looked a little like a gym, but there were thick black curtains on every wall. Then the door closed and everything became dark save a few tiny stage lights. It felt like a seance or something. Then Wolf Eyes came on and genuinely destroyed. I think at least a hundred people left the show in the first twenty minutes. But everyone that stayed was complete and utterly enthralled. The last twenty minutes of the show was just a thick, spastic black metal drone which was just absolutely sick. It was one of these things where eventually everybody was smiling at each other for being in that shit together, or something.

It was definitely one of the best shows I ever saw. And I like their records too. NOT CRAP.

genius? i dont know what that means....but wolf eyes are not crap.

The thing I love about Wolf Eyes is that when you see them live, they're a party band. I saw them at Electrowerkz here in London last year. They didn't come on until about 2am but everyone who hung around thought it was incredible.

"This song isn't about being stabbed in the arm, it's not about being stabbed in the chest, it's not about being stabbed in the neck, it's about being STABBED IN THE FACE!"

Not Crap

Okay, that's pretty funny.

Party band, though?

Shitty party.

I used to go to Encore Records a lot back in the day, and I still can't picture that the one guy there came up with Wolf Eyes. He seemed like such a regular indie rock connoisseur dork type guy we're all used to dealing with at record stores. I would have figured he'd start more of a Jesus Lizard or perhaps Pavement-type ripoff band rather than do this balls-out noise industrial pseudo-scary stuff.

Just one of life's little surprises, I guess....

To mimic the above mentioned bands styles requires a certain degree of skill and talent. I'm guessing that's why he didn't bother.

Okay, we get it; you don't like Wolf Eyes.

Oh, and NOT CRAP.

NC for scaring the shit out of me at 17 years old. First time I saw them, they ruled. Second time...they were headlining...not as good, not as scary.
