Just saw them do an in-store. They sang a song about a barnacle.

Occurred to me I hadn't listened to this band in years. The first three (everything up to Pretty Little Baka Guy) are great, as is "Lazybone," the single released in advance of 712. But everything after that, including 712 I can do without.

I'm happy to break the "update thread once in a long while with a single post before immediately fading back into irrelevancy for eons" cycle insanity WITH A SECOND POST.

Also, search and treasure "Concrete Animals" (though entire source album is dope)

Aaaand I'm reminded again why I don't bother with comments on my alt weekly stories, those trolls are the absolute fucking worst

They were great on their Oceanic tour, having a lot of fun w/the hard rock flourishes of their latest album - "Like A Cat"!

From the last album. Thin Lizzy groove on the verses.

Saw them play a great show last night, last show on their U.S. tour. Atsuko Yamano on bass and the drummer they've had for a while (who is very good).
I'm realizing that I've given them short shrift over the years. A dozen albums of original material since they lost their U.S. major label deal. Time to make that up. There was a time where I felt that Naoko Yamano was one of the best songwriters of her generation - I have a feeling she's maintained that quite a lot over the years.

This is the kind of stuff I'm talking about. Song about dog fighting, which I believe is still legal in parts of Japan, and witnessing it as a kid:
