it seems that hey aren't only ripping off the fall sound but also the lyrical content. i don't see any especial abour dc, one more from that current post punk lot
on the vocals, the main problem i find isn't that half spoken style but how mediocre her technique is in comparison with mes, lou reed or captain beefheart

Do not hear The Fall one little bit in them.

There is a current London group whose female singer I'd give generous and enthusiastic MES comparisons to, thing is it's Audiobooks not Dry Cleaning

Doesn't matter if they sound like them or not, the poster in question compares everything to the Fall and finds everything wanting.

"the poster in question compares everything to the Fall"

I could go for an entire Florence + the producer guy from Sleaford Mods album

i love the concept but there's not enough florence. though it is funny how it's kind of like a guest verse on a rap song.

she should have had a guest verse at the state of the union

She is a bit under-deployed on that, isn't she? I do like her faces in the video, though.
I like papal hotwife's suggestion.

Was there any build up to them playing various South American dates or is that a recognised part of a tour itinerary for a band these days. Really had no idea bands toured there until the recording of their Argentinan date turned up this morning. I am seeing that Siouxsie played there in teh mid 80s but really wasn't aware of it as a destination for tours.I guess there is going to be an audience for a popular band and the network of people talking about them will be worldwide since they are quite good. But logistics of affording to play and travel around the continent must be somewhat high, not just like jumping in a transit and going to Dover for the ferry to tie in with an existing tour network. or is it?
Apparently they played Mar Del plata and Buenos Aires, Chile and have 2 dates in Brazil.
I think I've heard of stadium gigs and festivals but not a smaller single date per town tour . Don't think I'd even been aware of US bands touring the various countries much either.
So there's audio on Dime for teh set in Mar del plata and a separate one for teh soundcheck and i saw that a video had been upped to youtube but the account that upped it had been closed.
I'm also aware that there is a Soul jazz compi of some post-punk bands from Brazil and may have seen posters for hardcore/metal bands from South America playing Galway but I think that would be part of a longer European tour and that would be more dates in a much smaller amount of space. Just striking me that there are almost always going to be alternative scenes to the mainstream. But I just wasn't really aware of things in South America beyond the Tropicalia and post that individual recordings from brazil and taht Soul Jazz cd which I have somewhere cos it turned up in a sale somewhere.If it is a more widespread thing now for bands from teh UK to be playing South American tours before they're stadium sized it is news to me.

Probably easier to get visas in South America than it is in the US!
