C or D: Wolf Eyes

I dunno, I saw them live last year and it was great. Results may vary, I guess.

early wolf eyeys is such a rip off of early skinny puppy it's unreal

I went to a bar b q at one of these guy's house

filthy dylan, do you live in ypsilanti?

Detroit, but it was in ypsilanti. Also, a while back Wolf Eyes did an installation at an art gallery and they showed all these records they made on their personal lathe including this chunk of vinyl that had two intersecting grooves and looked like an infiniti sign. It was pretty cool

Fucking dreadful.

their best proper LP = dread.

dead hills is excellent, and such a beautiful picture disc

yeah, i still get in the mood to bust out Burned Mind and Dread every now and again. haven't heard Dead Hills, maybe i'll look that up.

Just d/led a Wolf Eyes CDR called delwar showdown and most of it seems to just be recordings of them hanging out and going to shows, yet it is at least semi awesome for a couple of listens. Can anybody recommend any more of their weird novelty-esque releases, no matter how obscure, rar has made obscurationists of us all u guys!

just came here to say slicer is awesome

duh

I set up a goodwill purchased receiver/speaker combo to boost my TV and DVD enjoyment and one of the first things I watched was the COVERED IN BUGS DVD. There's a great "rotten tropics" from a basement full of fifteen year olds in Ann Arbor at the end of the compilation segment.

Saw Wolf Eyes last night and they kinda sucked. All ponderous and glitchy. What happened to the awesome psychedelic sax freakouts I saw support Whitehouse a couple of years ago?

Yeah I really wish bands would keep on making the same records over and over, too, for I am also a predictable, boring, joyless masochist who fears change, and I prefer the music I enjoy to reflect that.

wow

now that's bringing your a-game!!! x-post

Here we go again...

well, it's the most revived thread ever for a reason

anyway, anybody feel the recentish wolf eyes lp on hospital, always wrong. i didn't, but am curious abt others' reactions. way too one-dimensionally shrill and grating for me, with none of the murky, gooey, tarpit throb that used to hold down the shriek & clatter. for some reason, i'm inclined to blame the shift on dominic fernow, as it sounds like a prurient-approved version of the band. honestly tho, i haven't liked much (any?) of the post dillo stuff.

I enjoy the emphasis on Nate's vocals - I like them higher in the mix. It's sort of a different band now, I agree (not a bad thing), but when I saw them a few months ago they were as murky, deranged and fucked up as ever.

yeah, they've remained very satisfying live, though it's been a while since i last saw em. and i love the emphasis on vocals and clearly structured songs, just wish the whole thing were recorded a little differently. total inversion of my reaction to my favorite WE records, which sound amazing and inviting, regardless of how unstructured and supposedly "harsh" the music is.

Interviewing Nate Young tomorrow night - anyone got any questions for him?

I don't have any questions but tell him his recent solo albums RULE

The show itself was pretty awesome (nice 'n' subdued atmospherics w/harmonica + wah-wah wig out) and he's an exceptionally good interviewee. Swell guy as well.

One man thread revival continues. Here's my review of the show if anyone's interested - I'd never been to a gig of this kind, let alone written about one, so any advice/feedback would be really welcome:

Sounds like a good night. Have you heard the Stare Case record?

FINAL thread revival: the one and only Experimedia have run with my interview and it's the first they've ever published so i'm rather proud. enjoy:

Cool interview. I should've told you to ask him what that sound is that appears on most of his albums.

new wolf eyes

http://pitchfork.com/advance/59-no-answer/

been totally digging wolf eyes the last couple of days. they sound better than ever to me. the old stuff. sounds more CURRENT to me than it did at the turn of the century. for some reason. really appreciate the old stuff more now than i did at the time.

they are really really good.

Oh he'll yes

Always Wrong didn't do anything for me, Human Animal was the shit

New one pretty tasty at first blush.

@pitchforkmedia wait so Wolf Eyes is the most important band of the last 20 years ? lets got to my local bar and duke this out

no let's go to MY local bar, bitch.

Nate Young via Aaron Dilloway
HA too funny! 16 years ago WE banned her from our gigs, and she finally wants to fight

i want wolf eyes vs. courtney love storytime

i thought the bump would've been for the wolf eyes rider from 15 years ago: http://swezlex.com/woofpies/jsdemands.html

Always Wrong didn't do anything for me, Human Animal was the shit

also w/ ss. been having a reappreciation sesh over the past few weeks, and the early stuff (slicer thru burned mind or thereabouts) still sounds great. especially enjoying the more ambient long-format stuff, live tracks, etc.

yeah, these guys were pretty much one of the best things going until Aaron Dilloway left. Human Animal was the last thing he worked on and it's a total decline from there imo.

Yeah new one is dope in a Slicer way at points

xxp - holy shit! that is my sometime bandmate's website! </pvmic>

anybody seen them recently? any good?

Saw them at Netil House last night...hahahahah they are SO SO SO CAMP live! I'd only ever seen Nate Young solo before and that was a really sombre, dark, slow set. This was him and John Olson wearing cut-off denim jackets and leather camps doing yr archetypal hype-macho stances for an hour. Louder than I thought was possible too. Their new guitarist dude is wiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiild!

They were supported by Folkazoid (who would have been awesome if I was stoned and seventeen) and Porn (Thurston Moore and Bill Gould from Faith No More doing some kind of improv avant metal shit, was geat, Thurston spent the whole gig looking like he was about to blat every where. Ended with some crucial thrash shit) who were wicked.

Sad to not see a single ironic fist pump all night tho.

but seriously, that sounds like an awesome gig.

Dwight, this record by Porn is ace: http://www.discogs.com/Porn-Experiments-In-Feedback/release/509042

The Dale Crover Porn is a different Porn, isn't it?
