Just watched their full KEXP set. Kinda reminds me of Yowie. "Sherpa" is their standout song of the set. I'm totally fine with their gimmick, and it's especially impressive how the guitarist is able to play that microtonal guitar with a mask that has a huge nose and dollar bill signs on the eyes. The interband communication and the part where the drummer had to stop and tie his shoe gave me a couple of laughs.

My one complaint though is that most of the songs sound like they have to start the same way in order to get the loop going: jerky guitar or bass plus the bare drum beats, loop, then add the complimentary bass or guitar and add more drumming, loop, etc. Maybe it needs more listens on my part, but it makes it hard to make tunes memorable for me, besides "Sherpa" which had a slightly different start to the song.

This showed up in my IG feed last week or whenever everyone else saw it. I refused to unmute it. Haven't heard a note, and everyone that has shared it or geeked out about it has, unilaterally, the worst taste in music. Yes, that means you. so, I feel I am missing nothing. Happy to judge a book by its cover. Crap. Grow up.

This rant is not mature behavior, ironically.

It's like the Muppets had a Primus cover band.

It was killing me when I kept thinking what the drummer guy character was reminding me yet I couldn't recall, but now I got it:

Old timey comic Poopsmith, including his "dialog".

Musically, it's a bad version of that particular thing.

Aesthetically, it's "We have Caroliner at home."

CRAP.

Well I haven't geeked out or shared it AFAICR, but I like it... and I also like your music. So what does that mean

Dude, you like Body Count. I mean, so do I, but I'm not judging you because of it. Angine de Poitrine is better than Body Count. Anyway you haven't even listened to them, whereas Body Count doesn't really need to be listened to; it just needs to exist. This all cancels out according to my math

Body Count is fucking hilarious!

I don't need to listen to this band to know they're bullshit the same way I don't need to eat dog shit to know it tastes bad.
