was at that brooklyn show. they were good but they literally took anywhere from 1-5 minutes in between every song. really kinda killed the momentum!

well, it was their first headlining gig in almost 20 years.

yeah, I still had a good time. not a diss. just gave things a basement show vibe, which has its charms.
it was pretty disorienting because I couldn't see them at all (stage wasn't elevated) and they didn't really address the audience in between the songs either. I just found out they were switching instruments by reading this thread!

"^ sounds fucking great"
In total fucking agreement. They need to come to London.
And I need to pay attention when they do.

Remember very well seeing their LPs on the shelves >20 years ago, but never actually heard them; then I bought Griller from the cheapo 2nd hand bin today, and damn this is pretty great!

Is there any authoritative info on how their name is pronounced, btw? Regarding orthography, I see that discogs use all-caps ("UT"), while e.g. Wikipedia and musicbrainz go with "Ut". Silent-H "Hut"? "Oot"? "U.T."?

Conviction is a great record; don't sleep on that one...

i almost picked up In Gut's House this weekend, but it was $20 and i didn't know what it sounded like. i knew it was post punk and i think it was on souljazz's new york noise comp, but no one at the store could help me out, so i passed.
― jaxon, Monday, 16 May 2011 17:59 (twelve years ago) link
Of the top of my head, I think the track on the soul jazz comp was earlier. In Gut's House is pretty great though I mostly return to two longtime faves...Evangelist and Mosquito Botticelli.

xp, yeah, the track on New York Noise 2 (if that's the Soul Jazz comp people are referring to) is "Sham Shack," from their 1984 debut EP.

I prolly listen to in gut's house and the first EP more than anything else by them
they never made a bad album, or a non-interesting one
― the first rule of debate club (Edward III), Monday, 16 May 2011 19:51 (twelve years ago) link
so the uk shows are imminent. who's reachin?
brighton show this sunday - cannot wait! listen to 'in gut's house' all the time, so dense & fractured. love the dead c reference upthread.

I'm going to the London show on Friday.

I'll be at the Brighton show too. I know that Bruce Russell was a big fan of the band cos I remember he talked about them in a review of the Dial album that he wrote in Opprobrium.

got my eye on Bristol on Saturday but I need transport, also I am going to a cheese festival in the daytime which normally leads to me eating so much cheese I need to lie down all evening
― the wrong terry to fuckwit (DJ Mencap), Tuesday, 20 September 2011 09:37 (twelve years ago) link
would love to hear all yr thoughts after yr respective shows. i'm also keen to find a copy of bruce russell's wire review of the ut re-issues.
mencap, being "with cheese" shouldn't stop you going out and having fun like everyone else, but i guess i understand.
― ennui soundsystem, Tuesday, 20 September 2011 10:24 (twelve years ago) link
I'll be at the Brighton show too. *excited*
Should actually listen to some other stuff aside from In Gut's House on repeat, mind you.

I'm trying to free up my diary to get to Bristol.

I really liked Quint, Sally Young's later folky-proggy outfit. Their lp Time Wounds All Heels is pretty god though they may have been better live.
― Stevolende, Sunday, 1 July 2012 09:42 (eleven years ago) link
I had no idea they'd reformed until I saw this thread. Thought it would have come up somewhere else.

They were pretty great in Brighton, I will say.
I'd heard of Quint, but never made the connection. Might see if I can find some youtubes.

I used to have all of their records. I wish they were available on streaming - it kind of sucks that I can't put tracks of theirs in a mix.
