I fucking hate bands who spend more time having their pictures taken than they do writing songs.

i'd rather look at these bands than have to listen to them to be sure

Their name is a marriage of the title of one of the band's favorite films, "The Squid and the Whale," and the name of the director (Noah Baumbach).

this is a band? from the picture they looked like some Wiggles-esque children's group or something

music is really obsolete as a genuine for of expression isn't it

Their name is a marriage of the title of one of the band's favorite films, "The Squid and the Whale," and the name of the director (Noah Baumbach). They are avid fans of the film director Wes Anderson, who helped produce "The Squid and the Whale" alongside Noah Baumbach. Their e-mails, and many of their MySpace blog posts, are signed "Sic Transit Gloria," a memorable line from the Wes Anderson film "Rushmore." It is a latin phrase that literally translates into english as "glory fades," and was uttered by Max Fischer, a character in the film that was played by Jason Schwartzman.

I think when you hit your mid-twenties and most of new bands out there are either your age or a bit younger, it's harder to tolerate their twattishness and give them the benefit of the doubt.

As a teenager I might have seen My Life Story on The Chart Show or something, and thought that they seemed like tits, BUT on the other hand you were thinking that maybe this was something maybe you didn't understand yet...

why are these guys playing a DJ set at lollapalooza

!?

what an hour that will be

playing things on your ipod now counts as djing then.

I fucking hate bands who spend more time having their pictures taken than they do writing songs.

This band and that comment reminded me of a video I shot with my friends for school a few months back. I didn't show this on ILM so I don't feel bad about whoring it out now.

It's a general Spinal Tap-type parody of posturing indie-rock bands like this.

^RESPECT
I'm supposed to be going out in a second but there was no way I was waiting till I was drunk to post this (actually it might have been funnier then)
http://www.eyebrowmagazine.com/__data/assets/image/0017/6137/Trash_Pussies_-_Does_exactly_what_it_says_on_the_tin.jpg
WHAT an insufferable bitch.

i don't mind the two singles of theirs i have. didn't realise they were controversial

To the man with the gelled fringe on the tube...
Current mood: indifferent

A drunk man in a dodgy oversized blue t shirt and with his fringe gelled to his forehead came up to me on the tube. He stank of beer and told me trash pussies were 'shit last year at reading'. I found this bizarre, not because of his interesting hair style, but as we never played reading festival, and never intended to.
I have also noticed promoters seem to have no qualms with sticking 'trash pussies' alongside the other names on their flyers, when we have not heard of these nights and have never agreed to play them.
This is starting to bother me. It nags at me, and seems strange and uncalled for.
We started Trash Pussies as a way to have fun in clubs doing something other than getting pissed and lairy- ie- something productive and fun and interactive. And also because we both hugely enjoy music, always have, always will.
Being a part of Trash Pussies has opened us up to so many new genres of music and artists we probably wouldn't have been interested in before, and its always fun to discover new things. We don't take ourselves seriously, we both have no intention of being 'djs' for a living, as we both have other jobs.
I don't understand why people jump to conclusions at something that is in every way productive. If someone hears a set and hears something new and enjoys it, that is an honourable thing.
We hope people come to gigs to enjoy music just as we play gigs to enjoy music.
We don't see djing as an 'art' or ambition, just as a way to have fun and play music we love and believe in. We've gotten better every gig, practising to the point where we are now vey confident- and would like to silence the again, bizarre rumours that we dj off ipods as, a) neither of us have one and b) we use vinyl and cd. We have met some amazing people along the way, and discovered some amazing music, from the favelas of brazil to the ghettotech clubs of new york.
I've also started a new dj collective- the New Testament Party Crew (www.myspace.com/thenewtestamentpartycrew) which is letting me dj music I probably wouldn't with trash pussies (Fifi has a stubborn streak), an altogether more eclectic and broad sound from different genres ranging from baltimore club to dancehall to angolan hip hop. This again is done out for pleasure, rather than a way to 'prove myself' as a dj. Listen to the mixes on our page, a product of frederick blood-royales toil.
I wish people would listen to the music we play before judging us.
I wish that the man on the tube with the gelled fringe could have known this.

Thx for playing the same eclectic dogshit as everyone else.

never heard of this band and dunno who any of these others are but

look good to me, as do these romanians

Fair play for the Trash pussies' message.

Fact is, there are so many chancers around, it basically comes down to how much background and interest yon chancers have. (Including them)

Would a fantastic set played off an ipod be better than a lameness done for real? No of course not. Is a massively eclectic set better than a 'familiars and favourites' one? not necessarily.

Is the success factor down to how many removed you are from Bob Geldof?

(jury is out on that one, but not for long...)

Unfortunately they call themselves the Trash Pussies so that invalidates anything they do, say or think.

Presumably a reference to Fred and Judy Vermorel's "Cash Pussies"...

See, I wouldn't go to the places they would play anyway. So it doesn't really encroach on my life. In fact, I'm pretty sure most of us have never heard of most of these bands anyway, and this is the only exposure we've had to them, basically we're actively seeking out being annoyed. Yes, I find these guys irritating, but I never woulda found out about them if I hadn't clicked on this thread, and I'll probably live happily ever after never having to hear their music ever. Which might be great, I dunno, but I highly doubt it, and I still haven't listened to the El Guincho album properly yet, so I'll wait till then at least.

It was over thirty years ago, let it go.

basically we're actively seeking out being annoyed

speak for yourself, I open this thread for cheap lols.

lolz followed by Jesus Christ lookatthesegobshites?

Sorry.

lol @ "koala flame"

The thing is all bands look like this now

Is that Eddie the Eagle on the left?

I will always remember the thread in which ILM discovered the press photograph

Eddie the Eagle: http://img.dailymail.co.uk/i/pix/2007/09_02/eddieEagleREX1309_468x270.jpg

Nick, you appear to be correct.

Glad he found gainful employment. Shame he's stuck in that same position for the rest of his life, but he'd make a decent bike rack if this gig falls through.

^^^remind me of this heap of cunt

I knew a couple of them at university. I wasn't aware there was a musical element to anything they did though, having never bothered to see or hear them. Friends doing comedy = even worse than friends in bands as far as diplomatic minefields go.

LET'S COUNT THE WES ANDERSON CLICHES/REFERENCES IN THIS NOAH AND THE WHALE VIDEO!

1. yellow Futura font
2. brief character introductions at start of video
3. guy called 'Chaz'
4. old/antique-y looking decor
5. quirky matching 'retro' outfits and sunglasses

that's only 30 seconds in...

the single is v bad obv - like "hey maybe we can get this on an Orange advert"

how about Saturn?

man the vocals are so fucking atrocious it's really not even defensible in any way

65DOS are like, one of the more understatedly dressed bands (other than maybe the lead-guy's wafro hair) right now and shouldn't be on this thread.

oh, it's not even that bad. It's just so inoffensive, I couldn't really get worked up about it one way or another.

FF5z crabbin it in the 11 yo

They consist of Solomon "Soul Glow Activatur" Olds, Jacob "Crouton" Olds, Joshua "Fatty" Olds, Nathan "Nadaddy" Currin, and Derek "Chap Stique" Mount.

the life goes on single has to be the most intolerable shite since toploader unloaded dancing in the moonlight on the world.

can't bear to look at the lyrics but there's a whole lotta smugness goin on i suspect.

fatty manages to lose the least dignity here, esp in the first one with farting mime, wizard creep, dr. evils boring cousin and dumpy christian bale

I've listened to every single band since opening this thread. I'm finding ZZ Top's "Mescalero" to be a good antidote to the Shitey McWhitey devilishness going on here
