the lyrics aren't really amazing, but they make up for it with just the energy they have. i like them.

"I want a kitty cat my boyfriend wants a dog
We got into a fight I drowned him in the bog"

How is that not amazing?

"We all got holes in our socks/
and that place totally rocks"

I SHUDDER at the cheesiness.

Yes, great energy indeed, but come on.

eh, true, truncy. i just give them credit for singing that stuff with a straight face.

The lyrics are meant to be cheesy. The entire Adventure song is obviously a complete joke. And the October whatever song sounds like it's about a video game.

Anyway, I'm pretty stoked. I haven't been to a good show in a while.

I just got back, and it was a fucking great. Three bands played: BYOP, Whirlwind Heat, and some Swedish duo called Johnossi. All three of them rocked.

The BYOP guitarist definitely jacked some moves from SY. They (and Whirlwind) ended in a sweet noise breakdown. Unfortunately, some guy jumped on stage during BYOP's breakdown and threw the bassist off. Jemina cussed him out and chased him off stage, and the guitarist followed. So after the drummer lied on his back strumming the bass for a few minutes it ended. It was great.

However, Whirlwind dominated. That was the best set I've ever seen in my life. Indescribable. Here's a recent clip of them live. Not the one I went to but pretty similar. At one point the singer started walking around with a golfclub bag on his head. It was just really fun. Highly recommend seeing them if you get a chance.

Duuuuuude, it's "Bad Brains totally rock!"-- even that is kind of cheesy, but Bad Brains is certainly cooler than that place.

I read an article in WIRE on it yesterday, but I haven't heard their stuff yet :(

who pays attention to the lyrics?

Me.

you are wasting your time man

God knows you're right.

You must spread some street justice around before giving it to porkmarras again.

you should definitely try and make that show Kegmama. there set runs about 30 min but it's intense!

Ya, definitely catch it. Never been to the Troubadour, so I dunno how hard it will be to get to the stage, but it's definitely worth it. And like I said, Whirlwind heat was even better so don't just show up for the headliner.

I am a big fan.

and I will be the first to admit that if they were not on ecstatic peace, I would have never given them a chance.
