The BEST vid on the Tube to date....................no BS.............Hurry up & get Down Under!! Watched it 20 times at least!!!!! Check out a similar Aussie band, The Living End.
Saw these guys at the Jewish Mother in VA Beach this summer. Rediculously awesome. We talked with the bass player after the show. They play fender amps, 'cept for the singer, bassist has a degree in theology, etc. At one point the topic came around to consorting with wizards....don't do it (or you shall be smited!)
JD is so surprising. I went to see his show, not very many people there. He was outside smoking a pipe before it started, we were talking. He was really soft-spoken and seemed meek. Then he got on stage and went ballistic. It was incredible! Dr. Jekyll & Mr. Hyde!
Saw them at the Soul Kitchen in Mobile, AL. They only played about a 50 minute set. The whole crowd cried for an encore, but they refused, because we "didn't clap". Well, honestly, no one felt like clapping when you say you're done after 50 minutes...
@sortbane holy f*ck just saw they're coming to finland tomorrow! thank you so much for that! (got curious to see if they would make it here since they are in norway) well i've just found myself a quest for tomorrow. wow almost missed that
@sortbane and! also by spur of luck found out reverand horton heat is playin on thursday! (recently got back) thank you for that sincerely did not think to look this sh*t up when i came back my week just got that much better cuz of you. thank you.
Seein these guys tomorrow night, I can't wait. The singer reminds me of an early anthony kiedis (very early, like 83-88), with his antics and general energy, I'm excited.
Ok... this band is fucking awesome and all... and please dont epically flame me for this... but this band isn't racist are they? I know they sport the confederate flag and thats not necessarily a sign of white supremacy but they have this lyric that bugs me in the song old spur line that goes: "The Devils in the details, And your reverend's into retail. Your soul's alone in this world of stone, you'll find So what can you do, You wery Wandering Jew?" and i have no idea what it means.
read this on JD's website...straight from colonel: "PS: a 'Wandering Jew' is another term for a traveler or gadabout. There is nothing racist implied. It's also the name of a flower."
last time i saw these guys the vocalist ripped out some hairs from my beard and threw it into the crowd and ripped my shirt open twice....it was awesome, haha
i saw these guys a couple of months back. the lead singer is a nut, he spits like a madman. it was a great show, im just glad i was in the back of the crowd, i was safe from the spit back there.
At the moment - my favorite American band. Yes, they rock out like a monster, but the true strength of this serpent is the songwriting. The sonic roar they produce pretty much kills the ultra smart lyrics and the message gets lost. Their last three releases are the best examples of damaged Americana I've ever heard. SWAMPBLOOD is highly reccomended!
I saw these guys supporting Robert Plant at the Civic Hall in Wolverhampton. Their presence, energy and musicianship was impressive (crap singing, fine harmonica playing). Now the bad news...it was so DAMN LOUD and distorted I went home before seeing Plant (and destroying my hearing. Even worse (try not to hate me too much) - I thought they were a local band...gulp. That makes me laugh now but I only found out today (by looking 'em up on Google) that they're actually not from Bilston or Dudley!
This (awesome) song reminds me of Gogol Bordello...and that insane (also awesome) laughter reminds me of Riff-Raff from The Rocky Horror Picture Show, haha :)
I'd love to see these guys on a double bill with Gogol Bordello, but that might be too much fun for one evening... It might rip a hole in the space-time continuum or something...
YES!!!! I've seen both bands live and you're absolutely right, these two bands on the same night would be.........illegal, it has to be, no way something that much fun and mind warping can be legal!
I just came home from one of their conserts just now, and I needed one more "fix" ! I don't think I have had so much fun by myself on any consert before (all my friends have different musical taste or where buisy.) I have never laughted so hard before neighter, J.D. (the singer) where humping some bald guys head! And all the ecspressions... All the band members gave 100% It's an honor to have them playing for us in Norway... Keep sending these great bands America!
(i know this response was waaaay late but i was treating myself to some shack*shakin' video and reading the comments and noticed you had replied to my earlier comment)
If you like shows with lots of energy, craziness to the point of being a little scary and AWESOME music to boot, see these guys live. I've seen MANY shows and this ranks among the best.
Just saw these guys open for the Reverend Horton Heat last night...they fucking rule. J.D. Wilkes is like the bastard spawn of Iggy Pop, Woody Guthrie, and Johnny Rotten. I'm in love!
