The guitar just sounds out of tune on "Nuclear." Maybe sometimes they're hitting the strings so hard that the notes sound out of tune even if they tuned up OK beforehand. Also, do they tune down? They might be playing with loose strings to begin with and that's contributing to the problem.

Rough Day at the Orifice was the Arab on Radar album that I had. I also saw them live once.

Rough Day @ The Orifice = really messy, not that good :(

arab on radar i liked because of the odd tunings.

computer cougar was better on 7"... cc < Rorschach

i've always been slightly nixied by the aframes similarity to the fall.

satisfact i could see maybe... great band... (octant was pretty dang weird tho. and in a "gee, i dunno" sort of way.) satisfact's best stuff was his more psychy-feelie... i'm gonna have pull my satisfact records out now.

I FINALLY SAID HELLO TO NICK RORSCHACH (sic?) THE OTHER NIGHT AT THE DUBLEP BBQ. THEN I GOT DRUNK/STONED.

I thought Satisfact were way better on that first album and that "Life Abroad" single on K. They seemed directionless after that to me.

guys, please, this is the noise board, not 90s indie nostalgia board.

were satisfact totally different than what i remember them being??? they never made any impression on me.

― Yanc3y (ystrickler), Wednesday, 15 September 2004 18:28 (nineteen years ago) link

From moment to moment, they alternately sounded like Gary Numan, Human League, Joy Division, etc.

they were doing the NEW new wave thing before most.

I have one of Matt Steinke's HOME MADE PHOTO THEREMINS.

IT RULES.

i saw them live several times in the mid-90s, mostly playing with kerosene 454, bluetip, les savy fav, jawbox and the dismemberment plan, if i remember correctly.

my fave of the early(ish) neo-wave bands: six finger satellite!

― Yanc3y (ystrickler), Wednesday, 15 September 2004 18:41 (nineteen years ago) link

argh! bluetip!

― lauren (laurenp), Wednesday, 15 September 2004 18:41 (nineteen years ago) link

i still listen to the first Kerosene 454 album from time to time. way more than i listen to my jawbox CDs.

bluetip sux0r.

yeah, even tho my feelings were mixed about octant, you have to admire the man's electronics wizardry. making a robot band? i mean, that's cool. etc etc.

well, it's cool to me at least.

― lauren (laurenp), Wednesday, 15 September 2004 18:45 (nineteen years ago) link

yeah octant were rad live. I only have the first record.

ROBOTS.

I met the girl I lost my virginity to at a 6FS show.

― hstencil (hstencil), Wednesday, 15 September 2004 18:48 (nineteen years ago) link

yeah, bluetip were awful. the last k454 record is great great great!

― Yanc3y (ystrickler), Wednesday, 15 September 2004 18:49 (nineteen years ago) link

an ex-bandmate LOVED bluetip... of course, he nonsexual-crushed on j. robbins... "he's sooo great!!!"

anything remotely connected was like sexual chocolate!

and hey...slowdime released all scars, who did some cool slurp.

Most of those are part of my "1992" thread category project.

dude the FM Knives broke up? fuuuuck. They are one of the bands I want(ed) to see live. How verifiable is this? They are(were) super awesome. I see them as being, if such a thing is possible, an entirely modern update of the Buzzcocks/Boys/Undertones sort of sound, versus a band like the Exploding Hearts, for example, who I also really like but who are (were) frankly more throwback/retro in their stylistic execution.

the A Frames' 'Neutron Bomb' 7" is awesome, have been kinda on the fence about the other stuff I've heard from them.

eight years pass...

like notches carved in bones
like pictographic stones
in fragments and on cliffs
i read your hieroglyphs

three years pass...

no churches no garbage cans
no punk, no garage bands
no organisms left to grow
black forest and fallout snow
