First thanks for posting!! I saw Brainiac at a small club in Philadelphia called Khyber Pass and they were incredible. I am probably much older than most of the people commenting, but back then I thought they took a lot of the energy of (Duty Now era ) Devo and came up with their own unique and very much original take.
well yeah. it sounds bad. i'm not saying brainiac sucks. i'm a drummer myself and its easy to get carried away playing live with all the adrenaline pumping
Who do you think you are? Some kinda...[funny, me] I love John to death, but I gotta reluctantly agree somewhat with you.. though you can't dismiss everything she's pulled out of her marvelous little hat: High Society and that Lost Marbles collection have some pristine deliciousness on them. I still stand by the opinion that Believo! is the best album Brainiac never recorded.
I first saw these "Gods on Earth" live when they opened for Jesus Lizard in Chicago. Was it 1994? First I was confused, then I was scared, then I was shocked, and finally I was in love. They just don't make bands like Brainiac any more.
Yeah, I am lucky. But, the underground/indie scene(s) currently are just as amazing. Shit, have you heard VEE DEE, Wax Museums, The Spits, The Yolks, Jay Reatard, Pink Reason, Mannequin Men, etc. etc. etc.? Go out tonight and witness rock and roll history!
Yes, one of the best live shows I ever saw. V89 (wvfs tallahassee) birthday bash, I think I was a freshman, '96. Totally knocked everyone out. Nobody has made this sound since. Like ? and the Mysterians heavy metal disco baby from the x-files sperm bank.
Thanks so much for this. I wish someone could post some later Hissing Prigs stuff, but this is way awesome, even if the crowd are so obviously just waiting for whoever is headlining. Losers.
What a band!! I remember seeing them open for Jesus Lizard in NYC. I had never heard of them. I WAS BLOWN AWAY! Went out the next morning and bought every CD.
dude, same here. Irving Plaza, NYC. Had no fucking clue what I was seeing/hearing until they closed w/"Nothing Ever Changes." Then I realized they were the greatest band in the world.
