historical fact: sonic youth started in the no wave scene.
another historical fact: glenn branca started in the no wave scene.
artistically, they all were different and went on to far different things, but historically, they were part of it.
when i saw xbxrx they weren't that insane, they didn't kick the drums or had balloons or any of that shit, they even played between bands (local band opened, then they played, then another band played), but the singer and the guitar player were moshing the whole time with us crowd...probably the crowd had something to do with it, since it was mostly hipster idiots who were just standing there, arms crossed trying too hard to look cool, you know the song were they people to get down? they took more time trying to get people down than to play the whole show. even some dude i know told me "they are good but this kids still need a lot to go" and i was like "they have been around for more than ten years".
i know scissor girls but i haven't heard brides of no no, and i've heard from more people that they are fantastic.
