I dont like posting new comments so I continue on this thread. Where are those chicks that opened for Bone..Moizna? Well i dont know if they've broken up but they aren't around anymore. Big ups to them anyway, they should come back out & start kicking some butt along their mainstream of music.
the weta album was over cooked and over rated...in my humble opinion....some good tunes, good live band, but lacking a certain creative drive (that i would say letterbox lambs had in abundance
as much as I love weta, i'd have to say that's the closest description to what i feel. The wildside version of got the ju is better, and Natural Compression is a great buy still.
Hmmm... do you think perhaps that the musicians themselves undderate themselves, hence break-up,
or disband for want of a better word. I guess some do, but then I guess it boils down to the relationships within the band members themselves; ie can we still get along outside of the music? Do I really like the way you play that guitar lead? You get too pissed before a gig, You never turn up for band practise?? You fucked my girlfriend!!!!!......?????
mink oh mink, you know they released the first multimedia CD bought out by a NZ band? they beat Eye TV by a couple years on that one i think - for my mink
Though I made a decision to leave, eveything else went in hand too....
some bitterness for a short time, unspoken words to friends..we're still friends
What with Peter Panties having the heart to eat twinkies in San Fran...then moving back...
As much chaos I created I still had brilliant times, those memories will never disappear.
cheers mate. we've actually got an unreleased album lurking around in a tin can somewhere, and Jeremy Taylor has recorded a new album over the last couple of years with myself, Andy from Cinematic, and various other musos from around NZ that he's going to release under his own name in the new year, so, there's more of those angst-ridden sounds heading out onto the airwaves (and perhaps a stage, if we can find a practise room) soon.
Wellington noise dudes... saw them at old Bodega once... brought their experiemental CD... never heard from them again. Did one of them move on to The Accelerants?
Thinking of noise acts, Surface of the Earth did some great stuff. Maybe they're still around, but seem to be the most .. intermittent? .. band around.
speaking of noise...Birchville Cat Motel at happy during the bomb the space fest was one of the most entranceing musical experiences of my life....mesmerising,
