I thought this was going to be about Friends Forever, Nate & Josh touring around in their van, and playing parking lots. I wonder what they're doing now? Good film about them from 2002:

Here's the Minneapolis group in question:

dedicted to the Denver Broncos, Killball is an odd mishmash of demented football anthems and insane screaming noise rock. The album title refers to a futuristic ultra-violent sport in which padless players are equipped with switchblades and machetes and take PCP to maximize their performance; it sounds like Friends Forever has tried to replicate that attitude with its music. Killball opens with "Carnisaur vs. Unicorn," a brief song (one of five on this album that last under two minutes) that could be the theme song for a gladiators-style cartoon in an alternative universe. This is followed by songs featuring shouting, guitar feedback, and even occasionally tribal drumming, not to mention halftime music that sounds like an out-of-tune marching band. Taken as a whole, Killball is a goofy, incoherent clatter that has its entertaining moments, but not enough to sustain even the relatively short length (under a half hour) of this recording.

I really seriously doubt that Best Friends Forever are better than this.

hey cool, glad to know BFF are getting some props.

yeah they are good, been around for a grip, but yeah really fun live and super energetic...great bass playing was a real highlight for me when i've seen them.

yeah, they are cool...

but there's like a million awesome bands in mpls.

There's some really good analysis on that blog, but also this weirdness about the extent to which the guy believes that "advancedness" vs. "overtness" is basically the ONLY criterion for judgement. Sometimes, he seems to be goofing on the idea and sometimes he seems to actually believe it!

OOPS I PUT THAT ON THE WRONG THREAD

but there's like a million awesome bands in mpls.

i wouldn't know, obviously, matt, but, you know, i started this thread because i think this group has really got it going on.

full-length album is out soon. their self-titled ep from a few years ago is really good.
