"im into shit and blood" ahhahaha

1 P.3. Eternal (roxymuzak), Wednesday, 24 April 2013 17:50 (twelve years ago)

you can't not give this band a show

huun huurt 2 (Hurting 2), Wednesday, 24 April 2013 17:50 (twelve years ago)

in fact I'm going to go sign them right now, right after I form a label

huun huurt 2 (Hurting 2), Wednesday, 24 April 2013 17:51 (twelve years ago)

1 P.3. Eternal (roxymuzak), Wednesday, 24 April 2013 17:54 (twelve years ago)

Definitely you should let them play. I just know I'm going to be arrested for walking down the street singing "I'm into shit and blood" to myself.

Camp Macaroni Style (snoball), Wednesday, 24 April 2013 18:02 (twelve years ago)

are they local? do they tour?

the Upperchest (crüt), Wednesday, 24 April 2013 18:03 (twelve years ago)

Get in on the ground floor with this outfit and ride their coat tails to infamy.

how's life, Wednesday, 24 April 2013 18:10 (twelve years ago)

The description on their facebook page says "Musician/Band
it's like::MASTURBATING SO HARD YOU GET YOUR PERIOD FOR THE FIRST TIME
"

Are there any links to more of their music? There's nothing on their myspace and their website is down.

The synth on the cover of 'That's Weird' is an Elka OMB5 btw.

The lyrics of 'Motel 6' are just brutal, incidentally.

lmao at a girl's comment on my fb link to this video: "i went from being mildly interested to fast-forwarding to see if it got better to eye rolling to i wish good music could exist again to i need to start a country band to never mind, i think i hate all music, including my own."

1 P.3. Eternal (roxymuzak), Wednesday, 24 April 2013 20:16 (twelve years ago)

mission accomplished, at least she wont start a terrible country band

1 P.3. Eternal (roxymuzak), Wednesday, 24 April 2013 20:16 (twelve years ago)

I should have been clearing out these cupboards, but I've been listening to all these tracks instead. I love how there's absolutely no compromise made to the listener at all, no attempt to make the music. Some might label the music as incompetent, but it reminds me of Trout Mask Replica - this is is music that's deliberately been made this way.

Camp Macaroni Style (snoball), Wednesday, 24 April 2013 20:23 (twelve years ago)

otm

1 P.3. Eternal (roxymuzak), Wednesday, 24 April 2013 20:25 (twelve years ago)

ampersand cooper black (elmo argonaut), Wednesday, 24 April 2013 20:26 (twelve years ago)

no attempt to make the music palatable.

yes yes give them a show yes YES

Doctor Casino, Sunday, 28 April 2013 04:43 (twelve years ago)

it is insulting to compare them to the shaggs! the shaggs were great, but constructed and unaware! these are grown women yall

1 P.3. Eternal (roxymuzak), Sunday, 28 April 2013 06:09 (twelve years ago)

grown!

hoospanic GANGSTER musician (BIG HOOS aka the steendriver), Sunday, 28 April 2013 06:12 (twelve years ago)

and damn that "shit and blood" hook is an earworm. singing it to myself all day.

controversial vegan pregnancy (contenderizer), Sunday, 28 April 2013 19:04 (twelve years ago)

Serious staying power. It walks this thin line between "Serious Feminist Performance Art" and "just some people fucking around, fucking chill, don't take it too seriously already" that makes me love both sides even more. Which may be an obvious thing to say.

I like the way that on first viewing the video seems to be just random stuff, but with every repeat it seems more and more that every single thing in there has been put there deliberately.

Tour dates are up. They are coming to my town next month and playing at my friends place apparently.

i cant wait for them to arrive. i am going to cook them the best feast.

1 P.3. Eternal (roxymuzak), Wednesday, 29 May 2013 23:26 (twelve years ago)

Still want them to come over here.

emil.y, Wednesday, 29 May 2013 23:27 (twelve years ago)

one month passes...

Still listening to this band a lot. Finally relented and bought the album from bandcamp. I have a lot of love for 'Motel 6', which has an awesome video also, and 'Slowly'. I enjoy the noisy chaotic elements but I think it's their pop suss I adore most about them. Especially when it shouldn't quite fit but does e.g. the 'Shit and blood' refrain. Oh and yeah they should definitely do some shows in the UK if possible.

trying to imagine an EOY traxpoll where this didn't crop up to throw everyone awhack is unpleasant indeed. thank u based fruit.

The melody of this song is sort of creepy to me. I think the lyrics and visuals are fun but theres an eerie undercurrent too.., anyone else get this?

I have made the claim that this is my favourite song of the '10s. Think it is probably true.

I was thinking about this last week.

an opportunity thick enough to taste (snoball), Saturday, 9 April 2016 16:51 (nine years ago)

I managed to catch their live show. It lived up to the promise of the video but was way too short! stupid DIY aesthetic where the shitty bands get as long on stage as the good ones.
