I've seen them 9 times. The last time was probably the best.

― Tripmaker (SDWitzm), Tuesday, 21 February 2006 14:17 (twenty years ago)

i've seen them a lot too,but they tent to repeat themselvs as a band.
ok,krautrock is about repetition,but for a certain extent only.

― froyd, Tuesday, 21 February 2006 14:21 (twenty years ago)

They've cut records with 2 minute organ driven songs, 20 minutie 1 chord droneathons, cock-rock jams, baroque orchestral pop...I think they've quietly been amassing one of the more eclectic and interesting catalos of recent bands.

― Dan Selzer (Dan Selzer), Tuesday, 21 February 2006 14:25 (twenty years ago)

You're right, Dan. And I hope Oneida's still making records when I'm 60.

― mcd (mcd), Tuesday, 21 February 2006 14:31 (twenty years ago)

the "oneida" records are great, i was talking anly about the live act.

― froyd, Tuesday, 21 February 2006 14:33 (twenty years ago)

at first, i was wary...
then, i was awe-struck...
then, i moved onto entralled...
which went onto enveloped...
gave way to 'i can't wait to see these guys again/hear they're next joint'...
and they ARE nice fellas, too!!!
i enjoys me some mighty Oneida.

never heard their Battiato cover, tho their Ulmer cover kills. YSI?

― Beta (abeta), Tuesday, 21 February 2006 14:49 (twenty years ago)

hmmm... the only track i can say i really really really like is sheets of easter, simply because it's incredible they can keep it up.

― Vintage Latin (dog latin), Tuesday, 21 February 2006 14:54 (twenty years ago)

i can gmail/ysi the battiato cover tomorrow, beta. but you should buy the tribute comp - its great, and youd be supporting ilxor marco d.

the new ondedia is done...being mastered now...you lovers will soon have more to deal with. probably an album and a bunch of other releases. they dumped a LOT of material in the last few months.

― bb (bbrz), Tuesday, 21 February 2006 15:52 (twenty years ago)

woot!!
any new Oneida=good Oneida.
wish they'd release that 12 inch on cd tho (hint hint-eh!)

and come back to their 2nd home, Pittsburgh!!!
just cuz.

― eed, Tuesday, 21 February 2006 15:58 (twenty years ago)

I still want to hear the unreleased (and, sadly, unused) soundtrack to the film Speedo.

― Tripmaker (SDWitzm), Tuesday, 21 February 2006 16:07 (twenty years ago)

i heard a new split with liars and a new one with exmodels - was that on their site?

― pssst - badass revolutionary art! (plsmith), Tuesday, 21 February 2006 17:07 (twenty years ago)

A friend of mine said the wedding had sold poorly yet the others had all sold well in his shop.
It's a damn shame if that was the case elsewhere.

― Last Of The Famous International Pfunkboys (Kerr), Tuesday, 21 February 2006 17:11 (twenty years ago)

Great band, nice dudes. Hope there's more stuff out soon.

― cdwill (cdwill), Tuesday, 21 February 2006 17:38 (twenty years ago)

aaaaahhhh, yes, Speedo sndtrk...
i wonder if that's already been popped in the Wedding and whatnot?

man, Wedding was one of the best things about last year!!!

― eedd, Tuesday, 21 February 2006 21:39 (twenty years ago)

i wonder if they gonna give us the Thank You quadruple album now. oh lord have mercy

― rizzx (Rizz), Tuesday, 21 February 2006 21:42 (twenty years ago)

They won't, rizzx. It'll be a single album, Happy New Year.

― willem -- (willem), Wednesday, 22 February 2006 09:15 (twenty years ago)

but:
"it turns out that we’re not going to release a triple album on July 4th called Thank You Parents. We’ve decided against it for sanity’s sake. We’ll be releasing a single album called “Happy New Year”

― rizzx (Rizz), Wednesday, 22 February 2006 10:53 (twenty years ago)

Awwww.
Maybe we can persuade hurlothrumbos mind here on this very thread!

― Last Of The Famous International Pfunkboys (Kerr), Wednesday, 22 February 2006 10:55 (twenty years ago)

that's what i said, rizzx. but yeah: ! and a :-) and a hurray

― willem -- (willem), Wednesday, 22 February 2006 11:52 (twenty years ago)

"never heard their Battiato cover, tho their Ulmer cover kills. YSI?"

I can send you a copy of the album, if you're interested. There are a couple still lying around my house.

― Marco Damiani (Marco D.), Wednesday, 22 February 2006 14:42 (twenty years ago)

it's great! ;-)

― willem -- (willem), Wednesday, 22 February 2006 15:40 (twenty years ago)

well, we've been pretty pleased with it.
it was really funny to have all these guys singing in italian language - some of them did an amazing job!

― Marco Damiani (Marco D.), Wednesday, 22 February 2006 15:50 (twenty years ago)

Marco! Can i take one?

― rizzx (Rizz), Wednesday, 22 February 2006 15:55 (twenty years ago)

Marco, i'd love to hear it. i believe i was asking "Za" questions once on the Battiato thread about it...

― Beta (abeta), Wednesday, 22 February 2006 16:05 (twenty years ago)

I'm going to send you an e-mail at your address!

― Marco Damiani (Marco D.), Wednesday, 22 February 2006 16:12 (twenty years ago)

hey marco! (its pete)

i gotta say, the wedding never clicked with me. this is after EOTO and secret wars and all the surrounding EP's and splits and comp tracks were some of my favorite stuff of all time. its not that i think the wedding's direction isnt fruitful, but it feels tentative in places.

― pssst - badass revolutionary art! (plsmith), Wednesday, 22 February 2006 16:25 (twenty years ago)

I can't believe Zu is on that comp! So cool. I just started listening to Zu and they keep coming up seemingly everywhere. The whole Battiato comp looks good; I need to get that. Though I think I've only heard one or two actual Battiato tunes evah. xp

The Wedding wasn't my favorite either. I truly loved Secret Wars and still anticipate everything they do. Has anyone explored the Brah Records catalog?

― mcd (mcd), Wednesday, 22 February 2006 16:29 (twenty years ago)

I've just listened to the samples at the Brah website and liked what I heard. Rock, you know? The Prehistoric Maze split 12" is awesome, of course.

― Tripmaker (SDWitzm), Wednesday, 22 February 2006 16:44 (twenty years ago)

(ciao pete!)

Zu are really one of the best Italian bands ever. Great people too: check also their side project Ardecore (traditionals sung in Roman dialect, its a must!).

― Marco Damiani (Marco D.), Wednesday, 22 February 2006 16:53 (twenty years ago)

Andy, if you're interested just drop me your address!

― Marco Damiani (Marco D.), Wednesday, 22 February 2006 17:11 (twenty years ago)

three months pass...

search and destroy them for me please.thank you.what is essentail?

― the stocky, Wednesday, 24 May 2006 22:54 (twenty years ago)

no 'seek+destroy' the Oneida!
i needs them!!!

― eedd, Thursday, 25 May 2006 14:56 (twenty years ago)

Oneida fans - what was the song they did at ATP that is one clipped chord as a drone with "lieslieslieslieslieslieslies" etc over the top - about 7 minutes long? I have a pile of the back catalogue coming in the mail and would appreciate being pointed to it rather than wade through everything when it's the track I want to listen to first.

― aldo_cowpat (aldo_cowpat), Thursday, 1 June 2006 11:12 (twenty years ago)

that was 'sheets of easter' off the each one teach one album, discussed above - go find it!

the secret show in london in 2003 that lauren mentions above was a careless talk night, and was amazing. 2 songs, 'sheets of easter' and a cover of husker du's 'new day rising', for about an hour. GOD HEAD.

― i am not a nugget (stevie), Thursday, 1 June 2006 12:03 (twenty years ago)

You've got to look into the LIGHT.

― Tripmaker (SDWitzm), Thursday, 1 June 2006 12:17 (twenty years ago)

I have 'each one teach one' in the post, YAY ME.

― aldo_cowpat (aldo_cowpat), Thursday, 1 June 2006 12:20 (twenty years ago)

one year passes...

Alright someone please clarify:

Does the vinyl version of Each One Teach One have a locked groove, or is my copy just fucked? I can't find any info online and it's bugging me.

― Reatards Unite, Monday, 3 September 2007 01:20 (eighteen years ago)

hahahaha

― Tracer Hand, Monday, 3 September 2007 01:36 (eighteen years ago)

are you sure that's not just how it's supposed to go?

― Tracer Hand, Monday, 3 September 2007 01:36 (eighteen years ago)

I left it on for like 20 minutes and it was still playing

― Reatards Unite, Monday, 3 September 2007 01:48 (eighteen years ago)

thats how its supposed to go!

― stevie, Monday, 3 September 2007 08:01 (eighteen years ago)

Sheets of Easter goes on for 14 minutes...Antibiotics for 16 1/2. That, my good friend, is not fucked vinyl. It is Heaven.

― brightscreamer, Monday, 3 September 2007 16:09 (eighteen years ago)

Does the needle move? If yes, it's not a locked groove. I saw them play Sheets, right when it came out. I think they were in a "locked groove".

― dan selzer, Monday, 3 September 2007 16:17 (eighteen years ago)

we put them on in london shortly after it came out on CD, and they played two (2) songs - Sheets of Easter, and then an epic 30 minute cover of 'new day rising'. it was GODLIKE.

― stevie, Monday, 3 September 2007 16:34 (eighteen years ago)

did anyone see the "10th anniversary" show at PS1? I was bummed I had to work. I still haven't seen them live and I have like 6 of their records! but I was late to get on board with them, I got The Wedding when it came out and worked my way backward ....

every album I've heard by them is so different, and great in its own way. a couple months ago I was listening to TO SEED AND FLOWER off Anthem over and over. I really need Enamy Hogs ....

― dmr, Monday, 3 September 2007 17:09 (eighteen years ago)

ENEMY Hogs

― dmr, Monday, 3 September 2007 17:10 (eighteen years ago)

I was invited to DJ that PS1 and really would've loved to but had to go to a wedding. My first DJ experience in NY was actually a tiny house party for that same person who got married, but after that all my DJ gigs were at the loft on N. 3rd where Kayrock lived and had their silkscreening set-up. There were many a halloween or random party where Oneida would play and I DJ'd trying to get some kind of dance party started. A little later I got involved with Mighty Robot and the Twisted Ones and spent many nights DJing there, often shows involving Oneida and their pals. The Twisted Ones stopped when Fitz moved to Berlin and Mighty Robot closed down shortly after, so this 10th anniversary show at PS1 with Fitz visiting and DJing seemed like it'd be a really special event and it would've been cool to take part. Still, better yet I was DJing an old friend's wedding and couldn't have asked for a better time.

― dan selzer, Monday, 3 September 2007 23:26 (eighteen years ago)

dmr, you need to hear their side of the "Live at the Clubhouse" split 12" with 25 Suaves, too. I'm glad that there is some record of their PCRZ line up. I miss that guy in Oneida sometimes, he was like the physical incarnation of their sound. I haven't seen them with Double Rainbow, yet.
I could make you a tape.
