Idiot Flesh - Area 51 - 03 - Blue Head

[AaronWelchMusic]

1 person has a blue head.

[EvocativeOx]

listened to a handful of IF songs and wasn't impressed. This one is pure genius tho, every instrument, the singing, the beat. yeaaaah!

[Mindwarper69]

Idiot Flesh is dead, long live Idiot Flesh.

[floatingcapital]

What Sun Ra was to Jazz, Idiot Flesh is to Rock. In a decade that saw rock decompose into brutal redundancy, Idiot Flesh ruled the roost with an artful ingenuity that has yet to be equaled. Among the chaos and brilliance that defines their sound, Blue Head emerges as not just one of their masterpieces, but truly one of the great songs of the nineties with complex shifts, tempo and sound extremes bound by ripping effulgence and a devil's goading...

[rignard]

Whoa. Stumbling upon Idiot Flesh. Thanks! I needed the fix....

[yedospike]

This is pretty cool. Probably classified as progressive rock. 1st time I hear about the band.

[VaelVictus]

Does anyone have any idea what the blue head actually is?

[ColonelCognitional]

I might have just thought of something: didn't one of the band members used to wear a giant blue head on stage? Or did one of them paint their face blue? I wish we had more live pictures and videos.

[markcamos]

very cool. They did most of this album at Burning Man in '96 - and backed Charming Hostess. Amazing band. Rock against Rock!

[yhshvh10]

nice

[daingore]

Amazing...one of my favorite Idiot Flesh songs, and I got to actually see it live. Never thought I would have the chance...

[punxtr18]

lucky fucking lucky... i feel like requesting IF songs at SGM shows :P

[wordsarelikebullets]

SGM played about one minute of teen devil worshiper the last time i saw them

[punxtr18]

Whoa, that sounds awesome!

[lurxtlifeson]

i just feel like seeing SGM shows in general! lol. missed the one last april because my parents thought they were "scary" and I didn't have my driving license yet.... SOOOOOOOOOO angry. it woulda been the event of a lifetime. I LOVE these guys

[punxtr18]

They are actually more friendly than your parents. Nils would make an awesome dad. Dan a crazy uncle, Carla an awesome aunt, and the rest first cousins I guess.

[Astraios91]

@punxtr18 Haha, that would be cool...

[molecularash]

@punxtr18 well, they're all parents now. har har.

[HewittSmithson]

I've heard Motherfucker requested at several shows, no avail though :( I wish I could have seen them live

[punxtr18]

I think it sort of rude to request the Flesh at SGM shows... it would have to be a song written and composed by Dan or Nils alone though.

Maybe I'll request Trampolines in Quicksand next time! Never heard that song in any form yet.

[ColonelCognitional]

Submit to the cavernous yield of the blue head!

[april4694]

eww wow ha ha

[GuitaristInProgress]

I miss these guys. The bands they've been in since are all good, but nothing like Idiot Flesh was. Unreal.

[ianstorm]

Idiot flesh are masters in creating albums that frankly result in extreme and immature experimentation, if rated in their complex... but some of their songs can't still be reached by common mortals for their high-quality composition and style. This is an example. Great band!

[Sp4m]

most awesome

[CarlssonRublev]

What is Area 51? a cd they released? don't remeber seeing it nor reading about it :S

[Mightywayne]

The club they played at.

[CarlssonRublev]

Ok, thanks. I thought I had to go hunting for a rare CD :)

[07OHSEVEN07]

holy shit.... this is fantastic!

[Mightywayne]

Wow, awesome.

[Singigglesingle]

Please put the Area 51 Devolver song on here!!!
