I thought Rudd was really great and One Note was alright and then the album was a horrendous letdown except for those and maybe Escalate. Never saw the fuss about Sink Venice. Also, Resende said something bout singing in a fake American accent being the stupidest thing ever then like, sung in a fake American accent lots on the album ('All chaynge in tha city o' glayss'

Ikara Colt is AWESOME. I saw them open for Sahara Hotnights last night and was totally enthralled. I had never heard of them before that. Now I want to buy their cd. Also, I want to be British.

They are much better live than on record. The record is pretty stale, overall.

They were good live. They started out ok, I thought "eh," then they just got louder and louder and louder and louder. By the end, they were awesome. I don't imagine this would work on cd.

I saw their first U.S. show back in October, and it was much better than I expected (I was mainly there to see the opener, this Czech band called Sunshine). Very energetic, very loose. The record, though, is extremely dry. I started off ambivalent about it, then adored it for a while and finally decided that it was a boring knockoff of other knockoffs. I would recommend passing on it, although I see it in used bins all the time for less than $5. Here's a brief piece I wrote about it.

I think I saw them as second opener for the yeah yeah yeahs.

they were crap. their songs were barely distuingishable from each other. the female kept piping up between songs with an annoying, squeaky voice that we couldn't understand.

I am not talking about the yeah yeah yeahs.

Does this make IC the first band to split during an ILM thread about their general awesomeness?

Pulled this from the shelf again after, well, almost ten years, I think.
And seriously rocking out!
