i just saw tips for twat recently and they were really odd and compelling. guitars kind of in a US maple mode, but in a slow, quiet way, lots of empty space. and moaning.

i saw them at the turf at a not-very-well-attended show. some old goober leans over the bar and asks the bartender WHAT THE FUCK IS THIS SHIT and the bartender beams back THESE ARE MY FRIENDS IN AN AWESOME BAND

They're gonna set up a stage in the parking lot.

Melvins did not fail to deliver.
Anyone else going to Swans & Xiu Xiu tonight?
― *sad hug eomticon* (Control Z), Friday, 21 September 2012 23:00 (twelve years ago) link
i saw swans last time....was definitely universe pummeling! but i don't know if i can take it again

― arby's, Friday, 21 September 2012 23:36 (twelve years ago) link
i read somewhere that xiu xiu is super bad on this tour, he is just purposely being as abrasive as possible, which could be cool but mostly just sounds annoying, will show up hoping i miss most of it. swans were pretty pummeling last time but not overly loud, sorta hoping they amp it up this time around, i want to be almost unbearably loud. ahahahaha i'm excited

Some friendly hippies from Duluth just got me stoned in the alley here, so I don't suppose I'll mind if Xiu Xiu sucks. ^_^

I brought ear plugs. The door guy warned me about how insanely loud it would be. I have my doubts, having seen sunn o))).

^hey are you two newerish mn ilxors or old ones w/ new names
i can't keep up w/ this place
― arby's, Saturday, 22 September 2012 02:02 (twelve years ago) link
that'd be great if they were outrageously loud, but yeah i have my doubts as well because they really weren't that loud last time. but i still have some earplugs even though i hate wearing them. also i'm an ilx newbie fyi
― global tetrahedron, Saturday, 22 September 2012 02:04 (twelve years ago) link
Man Xiu Xiu is lugubrious.
...old ilxor, I guess? I have never posted very much till just lately. I used to be ctrl-s and, before that, xero.

Okay. ....I just overheard someone say "avant-garde," very seriously.
I'm not digging Xiu Xiu. Oh well.

yeah that fucking ruled. that one song gira said was 'in progress' was fucking ludicrous. too bad he didn't seem happy with the show. my ears are ringing pleasantly.
― global tetrahedron, Saturday, 22 September 2012 05:30 (twelve years ago) link
that fucking ruled
otm (despite aforementioned probs w/ the vocals, for which Gira apologized to the audience & had clearly been super-irritated by all thru the 2+-hour show)
I wanted to see the Blind Shake for $5 @ the Ritz tonite, but after Swans last night & Melvins Weds night I just haven't got it in me. A shame, bcz I <3 the Blind Shake so.

sad to hear michael gira wasn't his usual bubbly self
― jalapeno kloppers (upper mississippi sh@kedown), Monday, 24 September 2012 17:42 (eleven years ago) link
he wasn't being a prima donna or an asshole or anything, he was just justifiably upset with some of the sound and then i'm pretty sure the band missed some cues at a certain point, which has to be frustrating.

i'm still so pissed off at what they've done to ruin the sound at the 400 bar i'm not even going to see one of my favorite bands ever (MoB)....fucking dicks ugggg the archers show sound was soooo bad
