Plus, they are extremely easy if any leftovers from gr0upiecentral frequent here.

i think they're at the underworld on may 31st, and rumor has it there's a secret show somewhere in london on the 30th.

Absolutely incredible live - I'm not sure I've ever seen anyone exude as much happiness (or hit the drums as hard) as Kid Millions

― Jerry (Jerry), Wednesday, 26 March 2003 17:17 (fifteen years ago) Permalink

lone voice of dissent:

they are a (take your pick) safe/tame/mild version of the providence/brooklyn noise-rock axis. they take less chances = have more appeal (they play slower, embrace just a touch more melody)... give me parts and labor over oneida.

― gygax! (gygax!), Wednesday, 26 March 2003 17:36 (fifteen years ago) Permalink

When I saw them, Kid Millions was sick, and they had two drummers to replace him. It takes 2 men, playing at the same time, to take his place.
Oh yeah, and they were really nice, especially the bass player guy.

I don't get the hype. They kinda sound another college radio sheened stoner rock band... not bad but *shrug*.

― donut bitch (donut), Wednesday, 26 March 2003 18:28 (fifteen years ago) Permalink

I didn't start to love Oneida till I saw them play out regularly. Since then they've become one of my favorite bands in town. They regularly shut down anyone they play with.

To say nothing of the money we spent on geting "EOTO" just so. I guess cursory examination reveals nothing special but go deep with them. They're not the kind of band whose appeal is evident after one or two listens.

http://www.enemyhogs.com for the tour reports. they are good readin.

oneida kick the ass of whiners.

oneida kill puppies.
oneida stumble, yet never fall.
oneida-weeble wobble?

― edde, Wednesday, 26 March 2003 19:08 (fifteen years ago) Permalink

i've got to take issue with the idea that oneida are lame ducks in the ny/ri noise stakes. there are influences in common, though i think that they're trying to do something different than most of the bands of that ilk. they wind up with a different sound, but it's intentional and not a watered-down imitation.
as far as their live show goes the off-nights tend to be truly echh, but when they're on it they're ON IT. nothing slow, nothing safe - they are some of the most aggressive players i've seen, to the point of injuring themselves and ruining equipment.

― lauren (laurenp), Wednesday, 26 March 2003 20:38 (fifteen years ago) Permalink

I think where they're lacking is interesting songs, though if the Liars split is any indication, they may be improving. But yeah, they are great performers and well worth seeing if they're playing yr town.

― Nick A. (Nick A.), Wednesday, 26 March 2003 21:00 (fifteen years ago) Permalink

i think i saw them on an "ecch" night. the record didn't grab me either. kindly note: i've been listening to "13 monsters" on ultra-repeat for the last 4 hours...

Who are these bands from Brooklyn that are better than Oneida and play in their style? I want to hear them and form my own opinions.

― Famous Athlete, Thursday, 27 March 2003 00:21 (fifteen years ago) Permalink

hey bilbo bagginsess: when i saw oneida in pdx, one of the main problems was the crap sound, the bass buried, etc.

as for parts and labor -- they definitely have something going on, though going somewhere different than Oneida. parts and labor definitely have potential, though i dont think all their pieces are together yet. the primary difference is see between oneida and parts and labor, though, is the garage thing, the striata of mudhoney etc that free floats in what Oneida is doing.

I love "Antibiotics", maybe despite the (v brief and mixed pretty low anyway) singing.

― sundar subramanian (sundar), Monday, 25 August 2003 21:57 (fourteen years ago) Permalink

After reading about Oneida around here and a few other places, I picked up "Enemy Hogs" back in May and found it to be a pretty good listen.

I think some of their tunes sound not unlike spastik early Sebadoh (esp. some of Gaffneys strange tunes), with a better production. Mind you, I doubt this is a comparison that they would want to have levied upon them.

I'm heading to Bloomington on a CD binge/purge in a few days and probably will search out another Oneida album.

It's at 76 Rutledge Street, between Beford and Wythe -- way southside Williamsburg. Haven't been there yet, so I don't know what it's like.

while on the subject of people enjoying themselves at shows...anyone from the Cle area remember, what was his name, Bleeding Ears John? Running circles upstairs at the Stereolab concert at Fairchild in Oberlin, or throwing pork rhinds everywhere at a Cul de Sac show at Speak In Tounges, I thought he was just some asshole who came to shows to annoy people, then me being told "oh, he's a real music lover, he just get's drunk and excited."

― Dan Selzer (Dan Selzer), Wednesday, 28 January 2004 17:14 (fourteen years ago) Permalink

nope, but both those shows postdate my Oberlin/CLE days, I think. He sounds awesome, though. Not that there's ever seemed to be a shortage of kickass rockin-out maniacs in Cleveland.

― Hurlothrumbo (hurlothrumbo), Wednesday, 28 January 2004 17:17 (fourteen years ago) Permalink

note to hurlo: i have the recipe! expect it momentarily! now can i be on the list for friday?

― lauren (laurenp), Wednesday, 28 January 2004 17:44 (fourteen years ago) Permalink

if hurlo can't help...you can be a (shutter) DJ groupie...

Newsonic is a pretty odd space. I think it's a Wesleyan thing. Don't know the people, but they used to have lots of art-music type events. But also heavy on the Shy Child/El Guapo axis. I remember low ceilings and carpeting and lots of Jews outside. Lots of Jews inside as well, but considerably less observant.

Sounds like the the nu-Williamsburg tentacles stretching ever further south.

By the way, I could use both of those recipes.

meatloaf recipe is yours, if you'd like.

― lauren (laurenp), Wednesday, 28 January 2004 20:29 (fourteen years ago) Permalink

likewise the pie, as long as you swear to use wild blueberries...and if that's yr real email.

I like the suitable derailment of this thread.

― Hurlothrumbo (hurlothrumbo), Wednesday, 28 January 2004 20:40 (fourteen years ago) Permalink

Yeah it's real, and yes I swear, you'll have to tell me why wild blueberries, in the email.

To bring it back around, Fat Bobby loves pie.

who else is playing the Newsonic show?

― Russ, Wednesday, 28 January 2004 23:01 (fourteen years ago) Permalink

Mink Lungs, Dynasty and someone else, I can't remember. They're usually pretty good parties, that is people seem to hang out and have a good time. It's hard for me to judge, since I never have a good time. If Crazy Rhythms can get a dance party started, we'll go all night. If not, we won't.

― Dan Selzer (Dan Selzer), Wednesday, 28 January 2004 23:21 (fourteen years ago) Permalink

The other band is Ex-Models. A good time is assured all round.

Two of my favorite things in 2004 were Secret Wars and the EP. Praise thee Oneida. A new record (The Wedding) is supposedly coming later in the year. And from the website: "We’re spending December recording all the string sections, and then it should be just about done." String sections? Is that a joke or are these tears of joy justified?

― mcd (mcd), Wednesday, 5 January 2005 16:06 (thirteen years ago) Permalink

The Nice./Splittin Peaches EP is essential for "Hakuna Matata" (why oh why was this not released on vinyl???!??). It's a real treat, one of the best & most idiosyncratic things they've done yet.

Like this minus the first song "Cedars", which just doesn't work for me for some reason. They cover This Heat, which is probably not a good idea for most bands but their take on "S.P.Q.R." is pretty sweet.

― grandavis, Thursday, 5 March 2015 22:43 (three years ago) Permalink

ooh thanks for this. I'm still looking for a way into this band. I have The Wedding, Secret Wars, Anthem Of The Moon, and the Nice EP. What am I obviously missing?

― Tomás Piñon (Ryan), Thursday, 5 March 2015 23:27 (three years ago) Permalink

Each One Teach One is great, but I like Anthem of the Moon and Secret Wars a lot too (and Rated O). They really are best as a live experience though.

― grandavis, Friday, 6 March 2015 01:18 (three years ago) Permalink

Yeah Each One and Rated O pretty much spell it out.

― Unheimlich Manouevre (dog latin), Friday, 6 March 2015 01:32 (three years ago) Permalink

^ agree w this. honestly think the wedding and secret wars see them trying to be something other than what they naturally are (traditional rock band, rather than a god-level psychedelic groove machine), to generally disappointing effect. they have moments, those more song-driven albums, but nothing to stand with their best work. agree that the live show is the only way to truly know the O.

in better news, just got wind of this:

CHARNEL GROUND is a meeting of Chris Brokaw (Come/Codeine/The New Year etc). on electric guitar, James McNew (Yo La Tengo, Dump) on bass, and Kid Millions (Oneida/Man Forever/etc) on drums, dedicated to exploring the outer and inner regions of instrumental rock music. 'Charnel Ground' was recorded in Brooklyn NY in 2016, and informed and dedicated to pivotal transitions.
