@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?

tbh I've never been quite sure, and they are tricky to search for online! I thought they're all part of the same collective-type-thing though?

Yeah I suppose that's possible, I just always thought of the Dale Crover version first. This new line-up sounds great too.

regardless, Experiments in Feedback is great, particularly the final track which is 15min long and is a loop of a particularly nasty bit of feedback. Far out!

new one's pretty cool! some straight up (relatively speaking) rock songs on this. rotted out stooges and spacemen 3 jams.

made me revisit "No Answer: Lower Floors" which didn't connect at the time. appreciating it this time around.

and yeah, last time i saw them (2 years ago?) i didn't know how to take 'em. as mentioned above, it was pretty camp. like cartoon dystopian splatter punk rockin' out. don't know how they were in the glory days, but the previous time i saw them (6 years ago?) they were pretty straight n0ize dude noodlin'.

New album's real good

Their takeover of the Third Man instagram account was awesome

New WOLF EYES

Undertow

Mostly not Tool covers

It's like funeral doom played with broken synthesizers and brass and a guitar that just can't

Nice!

For a noise group they really seem to want everyone to know they're not shitheads, I love it.

related to Wolf Eyes, Dilloway made a playlist of his favorite "weird" Smithsonian Folkways records, and it's really amazing.

“My whole life” from their last album caught me recently, great stuff.
