(haha simultaneous track-by-track reviews of the new Coolies & new Scribe pending!)

Quite possibly the best gig of the year.

The coolies are the greatest band in the world.

"Heart is deep" is the best song i have heard writen by a new zealand artist EVER!

but andoru you are one prone to the frequent hyperbole...

how freekin ma-tu-re of u Jon jr. Heart IS Deep, motherfucker, you'd know if u had one. Have u ever been excited about anything in yr life? Are u a believer???? Do u believe????
There's a war going on outside no man is safe from... Yr walking w/ yr head down, scared to look... SsuuxX Corp now and to the future... Best believe they mean that shit.

So what happened to the old drummer then?

she quit/got kicked out. THEN THEY GOT REALLY GREAT!!!!!!!

i'll have to check em when they come to australia next week.

Wow. enough said.

Horror Magnet were better though which was something of a surprise

Though that might be something to do with the synth

I saw a CD yesterday in a Melbourne shop called 'Ladyfest' which had a Coolies track on it. Seemed to be all people who'd performed at local venue Revolver. Pretty intriguing tracklisting, big range of stuff.

which ladyfest was it from?

they sum up everything that is wrong with music.

For example...?

they make crap safe music- but pretend its cutting edge & cool- ultimately making them more poseuristic than shania twain with 100 cameras trained on her

wow so weird to hear somebody dis this band. i'm not sayin i agree but its kinda refreshing. you must not be from auckland.

she disses all bands..

If the Coolies threw meat at the audience, then bathed in a bath of shit on stage, and cut their instruments up with chainsaws before playing a note, the fans would go crazy and say it was a revolutionary show. You know it's true. And that's all very well - but is the music actually any good?

i dont diss all bands- only the hypershite 1s

Reverse snobbery, vinyl jackets/leather pretences, musical banality, novelty value... and a horrid 'scene'

as opposed to...?

Something had changed. Saturdays set was, honestly, the best I have EVER seen The Coolies.

Anyone else go?

No, but I regret not going tho. They're fun to watch live. Their split 7" w/ Die Die DIE should hopefully go some way to capturing their live sound. their two songs are slices of sludgy and evil sounding (deliberately) digitally distorted abrasion. the guy who recorded them made a point of recording them really fucking loud. Hopefully their attitude survives the mastering process at the vinyl plant.

In response to the guy who talked about the "horrid Scene" - hell yes. I like the idea of a community, not a scene. Communities are constructive and encourage a sense of individuality.., scenes are destructive and foster mediocrity and conformity...

Geekyboy, you better be a real geek and not 'geek chic'.

*geekboy.

Sorry, spelling.

ummm... neither....

You are so a geek.

I think the coolies are the only band in New Zealand totally uncompromising and generally unaffected about what ANYONE thinks of them.

They are the only band who is really creating something 100% truly interesting and honest in my opinion. If you are in a band and get offended by this comment well then you just prove my point.

In other words they are the only band with Balls.

"If you are in a band and get offended by this comment well then you just prove my point." Wow that's great; everyone that doesn't agree with you proves your point, so you're still right? Fuck, I love pretender wannabes. Your band sucks. If you reply to my post, well you just prove my point.

portia you said "but is the music actually any good? " - music is art, which is untirely subjective, in turn, what is good music???
