Yeah, let me second all that. Been a denizen of the RFTC mailing list that Donut Bitch runs for years now, and they're a fine and dandy bunch over there, passionate about their music (including a lot of the bands that Chuck likes in comparison!) and friendly as hell at the shows even while everything's going nuts. Never had a mosher land on my head at one of them, for a start.

HOT SNAKES
― David R., Friday, 15 August 2008 17:21 (seventeen years ago)
Yes.
― Ned Raggett, Friday, 15 August 2008 17:32 (seventeen years ago)
do people like night marchers and/ or obits?
― mizzell, Friday, 15 August 2008 17:59 (seventeen years ago)
No

without the bold red font and the exclamation points it just feels like something is lacking.

so i just learned that rick froberg made his national television debut with the obits on the jimmy fallon program two weeks ago. they played "fake kinkade" and it was kinda boring. then jimmy fallon came out and called them "my brothers" (cause he's from brooklyn, i guess).

I think "LAX" pops into my head on a weekly basis

something about the oppressive low end on suicide invoice is so weird. i like it, but it's a genuinely weird sounding rock record, like it was mastered using some secret NASA-grade technology and now as a result there's this totally out of control, artificial-sounding mix when played on common peoples feeble home stereo systems. juxtaposing it with freakin melodica on the first track only enhances the weirdness.
automatic midnight is sorta the same way, but it's so much more lo-fi that its brutal mix sounds natural by comparison. still, even that album has the distinctive honor of slowly but surely eviscerating the stock stereo speakers in my poor old honda.

Salton City!
― grandavis, Thursday, 28 October 2010 20:15 (fifteen years ago)
never as big a fan of these snakes as i feel i should have been. "oppressive" is an OTM way to describe their sound. that suffocating sonic blanket coupled with froberg's unrelenting hostility makes for an uncomfortable listening space, unless i'm in exactly the right mood. have similar problems w early mastodon. makes me feel like that woman with a boot on her head.

but salton city is a jam for life
true, easily one of the top 10 songs to ever rhyme gasoline with deir yassin
― del griffith, Thursday, 28 October 2010 20:31 (fifteen years ago)
Clearly not as good as Yank Crime was, but really good nonetheless.
― macaroni rascal (polyphonic), Thursday, 28 October 2010 20:37 (fifteen years ago)
This band, I mean.
Still listen to the three records all the time.

discovered that I never got suicide invoice for some reason. *rectifies*

Word is that Rick Froberg is dealing with a viral heart infection right now. Godspeed, sir!
― Alpaca Lips (Johnny Fever), Sunday, 12 June 2011 21:22 (fourteen years ago)
jesus, how does one even get a viral heart infection? i thought that was something only dogs got.
i'm a big rick fan and hope to buy some of his art one of these days.

obitsband Rick has a viral heart infection. He's okay, but we need to cancel July shows. Very, very sorry & will reschedule...
― Alpaca Lips (Johnny Fever), Sunday, 12 June 2011 22:00 (fourteen years ago)
Glad he's okay. Still sounds quite uncomfortable.

Whoa, lucky ducks! Such a great live band, hope they play a few other shows.
― grandavis, Tuesday, 26 July 2011 20:31 (fourteen years ago)
Nice!
― Ned Raggett, Tuesday, 26 July 2011 20:33 (fourteen years ago)
That ATP is turning out to be a thing of great beauty. I so badly wanted to see Hot Snakes. Shit it's over my birthday! Need to start dropping some hints to loved ones.
― owenf, Tuesday, 26 July 2011 22:07 (fourteen years ago)
Hopefully this all means Rick's over the viral heart infection talked about last month!
