yeah the first time i heard them was after we played on the bfm breakfast bus and they totally went off, i thought we went hard on stage. and they're a really nice bunch of guys too.
You guys rocked out before Two Lane on saturday - like the At The Drive In feel to your stuff (it was the first time i heard you. Plus you had very distinguished guests (dolf from The Datsuns). Rock on...
how much are tix to that gig?
White Stripes tickets bankrupted me. Friend in the states said Whirlwind Heat kicked major ass when she saw them open for WS over there though... and I still haven't heard the mint chicks and would very much like to
thing is, I wouldn't pay more than about $25 to see any of those bands. I still enjoy old tool, but Lateralus left me cold. Rammstein... meh. Metallica... I'm sure $80 would be cheap for a ticket to see them these days. The White Stripes on the other hand, are a band I love, and bands that I love barely ever come to NZ, let alone to where I live. so yeah, couldn't miss it.
Hi all. The b.Nets was the first time I heard The Mint Chicks - in fact, it took some sleuthing to find out it was them playing as I was returning from the bar to see them on stage. I liked it - definately watchable, and very energetic. Cool.
saw the mint chicks on space for the 1st time last nite and was impressed! these guys rock
does any1 know where to see them play or get any of their songs? cheers 2 all u helpful ppl
Their EP is coming out soon - October....YESS!!!!!!! they are doing a tour with Whirlwind Heat down south this week - check out the Flying Nun Website.
The Mint Chicks are doing a split 7" with the Whirlwind Heat guys, only available on tour...and the band are releasing their new CDEP in Australia before NZ...and playing Aust with the White Stripes...what? **checks his watch**
They've only been signed to Flying Nun for five minutes and now it's all this! Check the Nun website if'n you don't believe me...
FUCK!...I saw these guys debut video on space and was blown away. The Mint Chicks play a genre of music that I am passionate about. Havent been this excited about the evolution of nz music for a while...... and if record companies consider this quality,..........well hats of gentleman.
well done.
I must say starting with some disappointing songs last night The Mint Chicks did start to get better later on in their set. Finally some real emotion/energy. The last time they played Wgtn the singer only really seemed alive when a punter joined the stage for a song and instigated a shouting match. However their most recent set they warmed up and played together, with each other and the crowd. Tops.
To be honest, i wasn't a fan of that live version of The Son (live to air?) that was floating around. but the "studio" recordings sounds great. If anything a little underproduced..but in this case that is a fucken good thing..overproduction kills punk rock, great artwork as well.
sounds mint, while retaining that DIY feel to the recording. I really like "double helix"
agreed
you stole my thunder blink
it is a class recording
although sounding a bit less spastic than when played live it is still a very accomplished album
and the artwork is pretty damn good
i was saying you could tell they had label backing, as the artwork took up four or so pages in full COLOUR ;)
will jump on the praise bandwagon - think the production really really suits it; love the artwork (nice flying nun tradition (chris knox, david mitchell, etc) of musicians doing distinctive art); & yeah, "Double Helix" is k-rad.
tho if I'm correct, according to the liner notes it was only the vocalist & guitarist involved w/recording it & playing all the instruments? odd, tho of course there's nothing wrong w/it . . .
oh yeah, & check out the website - the video for "Licking Letters"! & nice design, too.
actually, after relistening to my copy of /EMOR (rome spelled upside down)/, I'm picking up more of a les savy fav vibe.
pity they don't have keyboards, tho.
