what world do you live in?

that guitar looks like a E335? or similar? Those are great fucking guitars and they are semi-hollow which can be pretty cool for feedback and tone IMO

actually maybe a yamaha? yamaha made some nice guitars...bigsby on it or similar bar

but basically if their guitars sound good to you, then it's a good guitar to use for a stoner band

It's a Gretsch, yes?

lol @ anyone that gives a fuck what they look like or jumps off the train after seeing a picture of them

jon otm

how's life - i swear it says yamaha on the headstock? or i see a "Y" but yamaha always made guitars that emulated classic guitars, often just as good and more affordable

lol @ all this

nice shirt, bro \m/

if they arrive to pitchfork, their career would probably ruin regardless of how they look.

yeah it would be a real killer to get more exposure for a band

Uncle Acid - Guitars, Organ, Vocals
Kat - Bass
Red - Drums

so Kat is a boy?

more exposure sometimes mean more "commercial".
it's a common fear i think.

I can't really tell from the photo. To me it looks more like some kind of signature on the headstock.

that pic makes me like em more

this is so weird

"psych record collectors dont wash and have long hair and beards. as do the bands."

they may not have long hair and beards, but hey - you can't tell if they don't wash!
THERE'S HOPE!

call all destroyer otm

I don't give a shit what they look like, but it's still hilarious.

do these guys ever play live?

they do now:

pic will be confirmed lol!

isn't it kind of cooler that they are just dudes rather than playing 70s dress-up?

idg what you're all talking about, these guys look like they're straight out of an acid coven

weirdos who look perfectly normal are some of my favorite weirdos. kudos to them.

unstereotypical looking = unstereotypical music and vice versa

I think people are just shocked because Uncle Acid seem like the kind of band who would go all the way w/the heavy horror-psych exploitation refs, so it seems kinda incongruous that they don't go for the long-haired unwashed drug casualty look.

i gave Blood Lust to my brother (dude in his 40s who loves classic rock and garage/freakbeat stuff) and he was convinced they were famous people from some other band who were playing around. i didn't buy it but it was a funny enough theory that i'm a little sad it's def not true.

don't tell him - it would break his heart

Anyone who thinks people wont care how they look have never been on metal message boards

thank god

co-sign

bigger haircut freakout: metallica or miley cyrus?

the real question is when are these freaky long-haired psych-weirdo burnouts nerds coming to play in the U.S.? anyone heard anything about later this year?

will be funny when the real uncle acid pics come out and everyone was freaking out over fakes

that pic makes me like em more

I guess we're "post-subculture" now huh? was kind of almost expecting this, as Cambridge isn't exactly known for its wyrdbyrds but I was kind of hoping we'd never get to see them and even live shows would obscure them and just project loads of dumb Brit horror films while they play shrouded in darkness. Who was that band 3 inches of Blood who played power metal but looked like Weezer?

Just GIS'd them I guess they don't really.
Ps fuck liturgy

mmm... so, it seems there's another option, that they look like this:

Aw wow they should just release loads of fake press photos

that's awesome

anyway, Vol 1 is very underappriciated:
maybe because it's less metal/stoner and more garage w/keyboards.
but it's as awesome as BL, if not slightly better

they should? i think they do..

The cover of Mind Control looks strange

no KAT - no credibility (yet)

it looks like Matador signed them or something - fake?!

the cover i mean

So who's going to the London shows?

shows sold out btw

obviously they have a female member/vocalist in the band, so both pics are probably fake.yawn..
