Gang Gang Dance

[rjlb56]

Give me The Rolling Stones !

[lizikakizil]

I know I'm not high, but damn, I fucking feel like I am.

Or at least I think I'm not.

[analogdharma]

Where are cool heads like this every time I've wanted to start a band? People around here ONLY play hippie / roots music, metal, covers, etc. I need to move back to NYC. This shit is epic.

[Dancingpants]

this band is great everyone should check out saint dymphona and their EP RAWWAR

also i second black dice as an EXcellent noise band they are definately one of my favourites

[Huttekoetoer]

What song is it?

[yosky5411]

What song is this?

[tarsier70]

she has a really terrible voice and she knows it.

[Monkeydud294]

i fucking love this

[legotreihn]

well thay are actually nois band. not here, though

[rofea]

Ahhh soo wwowowowikckkced!!!

[TheBoss2332]

This would be great if they didn't have Yoko Ono spittin shit over the tracks.

[Onepoint21jiggawatts]

pretty crazy shit. In all honesty though I enjoyed it. Right when it sounds like it's falling apart something new jumps out and starts it right back up.

[neonfoxincolour]

ok first off I wouldn't consider this noise. more of an experimental shoegaze type deal. and aso this is the first time I've ehard Gang Gang Dance and it sounds awesome.

[stopalex215]

whats some good noise bands?

[neonfoxincolour]

yes please.

[privatetedd]

don't listen to all of the above, they have noise elements. Some good noise bands would be Arabs on Radar, Lightning Bolt, Hella, No Age, Battles, The Boredoms, and Melt Banana.

[Monkeydud294]

don't forget black dice

[waxanimalparts]

yellow swans, merzbow, ruins, wolf eyes, the locust, aids wolf, holy mcgrail, and i think growing is amazing although they're more drone than noise.

[davegahansg]

Distortion + no effort = ouch!

[JamiesRockinBeats]

they should just disable youtube commenting all together

[bitcrushed]

Or restrict it to propositions such as "Gang Gang Dance Totally Rule".

[Dandango123]

OranjeVision - for this 1 comment i hate you " It must also be said that the nature of noise itself has to be questioned. What constitutes noise is purely subjective, as on a basic level, noise is anything that isn't pleasant to hear." The most stuck up answer i have ever heard - Fuck off and get some friends

[JesuitFarmer]

I don't know you but if you have friends, which you implied, let them hug you.

[pureland2015]

@Dandango123 Why don't you actually refute his claims instead of name calling?

[Dandango123]

@pureland2015 cos i'm a dickhead.

[pureland2015]

@Dandango123 yeah you are! a fucking biting ass nigga

[Dandango123]

@pureland2015 i'm not black.

[pureland2015]

@Dandango123 yeah you're still biting ass

[Dandango123]

@pureland2015 <3 you are your americanisms

[Dandango123]

@pureland2015 and*

[pureland2015]

@Dandango123 <3 you too!

[nightmare000r]

what song is this???

[edenmayhem155]

what is this song called?

[RACHELLLxx]

its Gang Gang Dance feat. Tinchy Stryder Princes

[MRTTVD]

no it isnt

[redhotcpmgk]

what song is this called? or is it just a jam session?

[Merkwurdichliebe]

I can't answer this, but I too would love to know what song this is...maybe it's in one of their EPs?

[silentsean602]

i think people call them noise, because of the chaotic nature of the music, not because of abscence of chords or riffs.

[spheroid]

Great act -- just saw them last night in Chicago.

[Reneratonei]

It's also pretty obvious if you go to the concert or watch this video the singer also contributes with percussion and effects.

[Reneratonei]

The bass woofers BANG live in concert. One of the few bands around on the endangered species list that try to innovate instead of imitate. I don't know how people can diss this music when so much else is watered down rehash of the 60s, 70s, and 80s nowadays. I Can't wait for flannel and torn clothing to come back in as vintage in a couple of years.

[youngjessemusic]

th singer also brings a great sound to the music

[toadrush]

the guitarist is playing the middle eastern-esque melody. What the hell do you mean he's not doing anything?

[hhrriisstt]

I don't get why people talk when they don't know anything about what they're talking about and are only making themselves look like jackasses.

[dmarin1]

their sound has cleaned up a whole lot. and the live act has gotten much better too. i was referring to the time i saw them in miami for basel 07. no, guitarist wasn't there for a good show that night, then again, miami is a big fucking joke. no surprise for 1/2 the group showing up with their A-game that night.

---there are other perspectives beyond that of all your exposure to life through youtube.

[scaffnet]

weak and boring.

[millionaire5]

I REALLY want them to release the new album soon. The new material is so sweet. Shame the luminaire's over 18.

[Tellyourstorydrifter]

Hell yes.

[deathcampbaby]

why call them a noise band?

[SYRFox]

Because it's a noise band: go listen to last Hillulah track (The Cooler), you'll change your advise about them...

[SYRFox]

Or at least they got noise elements :D

[HxCbbfan1103]

i disagree i think of noise as being a much more distorted, cold version of music.....i personally see them as more tribal chant/ belly dancing music.............sure there are no true lyrics but does that really make them noise.....couldnt they just be an instrumental band that sees the human voice as an eqaul instrument?

[glitchesandglitter]

yeah, i mean noise music is a genre, and the gang gang dance have their own classifications of genre.

[hhrriisstt]

On their recordings at least, there are "true lyrics." Noise is not necessarily distorted and cold. It's really difficult to define but I can definitely hear the 'noise' aspect of their music

[dougem9er]

like fantomas

[xylemicarious]

Noise is something that isn't pop, and pop is anything with a melody or riff. And there are riffs all over the place with these guys. Thus: Not noise.

[thisisnothappening2]

noise pop.

[gumbasmut]

your reductionist definition fails on both accounts. MANY songs featuring "noise" got popular. MOST non-popular music is not noise (it just isn't popular). Pop is neither defined nor constrained by having a melody/riff. If this is really how you think about music, I say; STOP LISTENING, you are NOT HELPING.

[OranjeVision]

Good point.

It must also be said that the nature of noise itself has to be questioned. What constitutes noise is purely subjective, as on a basic level, noise is anything that isn't pleasant to hear.

I like Sonic Youth, but I don't consider their music 'noise' despite obvious contradictions; Pussycat Dolls however, is unpleasant to hear, therefore noise.

Totally subjective.

[Disappearer88]

Wow you're really....cool? Intellectual? Does anyone care what your definition of noise is? Probably not.

[SYRFox]

This new song is great! Can't wait for their next album

[ruddiger]

whoawow thanks so much for uploading this!

[subbacultchasoul]

That was an amazing performance, I'll definately see them again if I get the opportunity. Also, the Luminaire is a great venue, nonchalant yet also quite lively once things start rolling.
