the nu-pigfuck

it's longer than 20 minutes! and it's an lp, dude. can't wait to hear the next one (which afaik has been recorded - not sure about mixed or mastered yet).

for nu-Am Rep, I like The Blind Shake a lot...their album came out last year....they have now partnered up with Michael Yonkers and have an album coming out of new Yonkers songs where they are his backing band....heard a song off it, and it sounds fucking devastatin' percolatin'....

heard good things about stnng, will check 'em out.

Yow, that actually sounds more interesting to me than Pissed Jeans, or pigfuck (nu- or old-skool) in general, despite my affection for the Stunning and some of what I suppose could count as PROTO-pigfuck (per xhuxk above -- Flipper esp). Cheers.

absolutely DESTROYED the triple rock last time i saw them live.

YEAH I HEARD ALL ABOUT IT. >:(

STEVEN TYLER AND DAMO SUZUKI SAT IN WITH THE BAND!

ALLAN HOLDSWORTH AND ROBERT FRIPP HAD A GUITAR DUEL BETWEEN SETS!

SUPRISE OPENER: N.W.A. REUNION!

xpost

Yeah. Never seen the Ex before. I am what you might call "stoked."

Guess not.

without naming any names it's a nice change of pace from what had heretofore dominated philly's indie scene. but yeah, "why now...and why so much?" has been kicking around in my head too.

[this geisha record is mellowing out right now; i think i liked the microwaves disc a little better. in any case, this is great preparatory music for a house inspection around noon today. then i'll be singing about caulk and whatnot.]

this geisha record really comes back around fwiw.

Tractor Sex Fatality were working this angle a couple years back, as documented on the excellent "Black Magic, White Pussy" LP, but they've streamlined their sound/membership since.

What about Todd? More ex-Hammerhead stuff that's right in line with the soundz of yore. Nowhere near as interesting/catchy as Vaz, but funier, and they arguably rock harder.

I'm kinda questioning the "pigfuck" nameplate, too. While I hear a lot of bands aping the sound of late 80s Midwest post-hardcore, I don't see the same kind of confrontationalist creativity. If there are pigs present, they aren't really getting properly fucked.

I am loving Stnnng right now.

Also thinking: Was grunge just what they called pig fuck in Seattle in 1990?

grunge was what we called pigfuck in 86 - by 90 it was something else

in the 80s grunge was anything with dirty/heavy gtrs... kilslug, dinosaur's 1st album, scientists.

seattle grunge was pigfuck minus the filth, desperation, & degradation. they took the sound but dropped the demented arty flourishes, being generally more trad in their rock styling. tad and the thrown ups were the closest seattle got to pigfuck.

I guess it starts looking like splitting hairs and narcissism of small differences if you weren't there, but at the time these equations were pretty clear:

sub pop 100 = pigfuck
sub pop 200 = grunge

Mayyors ftw

can't wait till the tinsel teeth album drops next year, I get heavy T&G flashbacks from that crew

have you ever seen them (tinsel teeth) live, edward? i ask not only because of their singer is a dildo-wielding blood covered goth freakazoid but because they're one of those bands that really blew me away live but were painfully boring on record. i only heard their demo though, hopefully the album will be an improvement.

haha, yes, a ton, they're good friends

new record is def a closer approximation of their lurching live sound, should be out on load in march

2nd mayyors - deads ep is the best update of 90s "noise rock" (not pigfuck exactly) i've heard yet

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ayrEZIx-Ofc&feature=player_embedded#

okay fuck mayyors are AWESOME

contenderizer was it you who posted about mayyors in the punk thread? i've been listening to dead ever since it was mentioned in there and i should probably thank whoever enlightened me to it cause it's been one of my most loved pieces of music all year. few times a month i get on a kick where all i want to listen to is this and endless blockade. have they released anything else?

Y'all should check out The Family Curse. They moved to Seattle from SF about a year back.

Basically sounds like Big Black only with a gorgeous amazon lead singer lady.

http://www.myspace.com/thefamilycursemission

huh. haven't seen the family curse. suppose i need to get out more.

and i dunno that i was the first to post about the mayyors on punk thread. i expect not, but i'll happily accept any credit and/or blame for symptoms related to exposure. but uh tell me of this endless blockade...

Hmm, so apparently, the guitarist (and recording engineer) of the Mayyors was also the guitarist and recording maestro of the FM Knives? The bands don't seem very similar on the surface.

yeah i'd heard that and yr right. mayyors = what the coachwhips would've sounded like if they'd been the best band on amrep circa 1990. or maybe 2nd best (halo of flies luv)

I haven't seen Mayyors yet. But people have been screaming in my ear about them for the last year.

I finally lifted a finger to figure it out and realized that my old buddy John Pritchard is their singer. Used to gig with his old bands Sexy Prison and Corpse Fuck Corpse quite a bit down in Sacramento/Davis area.

hells nor did i know of sexy prison connect - another great band and with a sound that makes a good deal of sense in relation to mayyorses

endless blockade is neither noise rock nor pigfuck-it's powerviolence! if you're into that sort of thing i recommend it highly, if not check it out and it might change your mind. gives me that same feeling as mayyors like i'm chewing through a leather jacket.

ENDLESS BLOCKADES FOR THE PUSSYFOOTEEEUUURRGHHH

sorry, carry on

pigfucked in PA. bummer.

is the dd album still coming out? or has it already, i've lost track

― facepalm death (samosa gibreel), Friday, March 26, 2010 3:35 PM (1 week ago)

parts unknown is putting it out

get ready rubberneckers

will probably be my album of the year if the song they had up on load myspace is any indication. i always dreamed of a louder, less blown out lo-fi drunnkdriver and now my dream is going to come true.

in the mean time i'm anticipating the new twin stumps

dd leaked & is currently kicking my ass

tinsel teeth album drops tomorrow

i'll keep an eye out for that, they were rad openning for chinese stars last summer.

not pigfuck per se, but dope body's 'natural history' is giving me some cows/jesus lizard vibes - along with some flipper/melvins plodding along the way - and helmet's notion of groove.

tho, in this case the confrontational posture of some of these bands is put aside for some welcoming goofiness...

think this type of stuff got subsumed into the rolling punk threads

rolling punk/non-indie underground 2012

but yeah dope body is rad

The White Suns rekkid on Load is the best nu-pigfuck of 2012

ok, thx. i never payed that much attention to that thread, tbh. always thought about it more in terms of punkier or indier efforts - dunno, iceage, king tuff or nu sensae.

dope body record rules.

just remembered 90s florida band load, sounded like karp and cherubs
