Nic Offer is an incredibly charismatic man, definitely suits the atmosphere of the band. And just because it isn't exactly the same vocal performance as on Louden Up Now, that doesn't mean it's bad. Just means it's different, and they're doing something different well. Lovely performance of Yadnus on here by the way, do want to hear it when I see them in Glasgow later this year.
I'm reminded of Jim Morrison (whether you all agree or not is your own business), except that the singer hasn't anything really to say. Good stage presence and energy but too spasmatic. So like Paula Cole says (sort of), "where have all the rock shamans gone?" Where has the poetry gone? Its a pity really because its such a groovy jam. They should dump the singers.
I think when you have a polished off studio band like the strokes or the killers the singer is kinda obligated to sound exactly like that recording live. But come on, were you really expecting that from these guys? At least he's actually getting into it no just standing there and whining on stage
he did do the whole gimme water or i wont start playing thing in philly. it gets old , "like you know your going on stage under hot lights for a set in front of hundreds all hyped peeps with enough booze and stimulants in their system to dance untill their feet are stumps, bring some fucking h2o on stage with you already
saw them in philly and they played like this. kept coming back to like i give a f+ck jam, and the crowd was just as disinterested. they had a sign at the merch booth that said "smiles - $200". other than that, they are amazing. i think they are feeding off the crowds total disinterest and it just shrinks from there. brave.
hey, where I live four times is quite an accomplishment for an obscure band like !!!
Plus, they aren't my absolute favorite band. Just one that I like. My point was that they have to be seen live to be appreciated, I wasn't really bragging. But whatever.
Oh, and as anyone who's seen !!! will tell you, their awesomeness really can't be accurately captured on film. They really get a crowd going and its pure euphoria being at one of their shows. I should know, I've seen them four times.
Four times is nothing. I'm not crazy into !!! but I've seen my favorite bands over 20 times each (the Queers, the Bouncing Souls, the Groovie Ghoulies - all of'em +20 times). Get with it if you're going to brag! >=P
can't approach new music with a whole bunch of made-up expectations. otherwise you'll end up liking the same old crap. these guys kick ass and i can't wait to see them at bonnaroo this year!!!!!
I actually saw these guy supporting the chilies, and while i dont actually like their music, and found it kinda funny... they are fucking good performers!!!
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
seen em live, awsome gig. But they shouldn't have singers, the long haired guy's a pain in the ass. Anyone can sing "Fck Fck Fck Sht Sht Sht" and dance like a junkie spastic
He amps the crowd up with his stage presence and energy. You're probably just a muso that likes to wank off over technical brilliance instead of having fun. Fuck your fuckin shit. :)
the first one they´re playing is pardon my freedom(louden up now), second is dear can (louden up now) en the third one is yadnus (myth takes). It´s very irritating cause everywhere on the net is is said wrong. many people think dear can is pardon my freedom and vice versa. well it´s not....
12 bucks cover all you can drink free sparks and PBR and yayo and nookie behind the curtain , wholly crap so many cute girls, dances and grinded with thousands of hot sweaty chicks I got blown by my ex who spins , funk and sometimes hard house and d&B she opened down stairs and later fucked this girl I found while trying to avoid the mens line , yess I went in to the ladys room and nobody cared , + I got kidnapped into a stall
The guy in the green shirt can't sing at all.
