"psych record collectors dont wash and have long hair and beards. as do the bands."
they may not have long hair and beards, but hey - you can't tell if they don't wash! THERE'S HOPE!

isn't it kind of cooler that they are just dudes rather than playing 70s dress-up?

unstereotypical looking = unstereotypical music and vice versa

I think people are just shocked because Uncle Acid seem like the kind of band who would go all the way w/the heavy horror-psych exploitation refs, so it seems kinda incongruous that they don't go for the long-haired unwashed drug casualty look.

i gave Blood Lust to my brother (dude in his 40s who loves classic rock and garage/freakbeat stuff) and he was convinced they were famous people from some other band who were playing around. i didn't buy it but it was a funny enough theory that i'm a little sad it's def not true.

the real question is when are these freaky long-haired psych-weirdo burnouts nerds coming to play in the U.S.? anyone heard anything about later this year?
― alpine static, Wednesday, 27 February 2013 20:02 (eleven years ago) link

I guess we're "post-subculture" now huh? was kind of almost expecting this, as Cambridge isn't exactly known for its wyrdbyrds but I was kind of hoping we'd never get to see them and even live shows would obscure them and just project loads of dumb Brit horror films while they play shrouded in darkness. Who was that band 3 inches of Blood who played power metal but looked like Weezer?

Aw wow they should just release loads of fake press photos

that's awesome
― :C (crüt), Wednesday, 27 February 2013 21:01 (eleven years ago) link
anyway, Vol 1 is very underappriciated:maybe because it's less metal/stoner and more garage w/keyboards. but it's as awesome as BL, if not slightly better
― nostormo, Wednesday, 27 February 2013 21:01 (eleven years ago) link
they should? i think they do..
The cover of Mind Control looks strange

obviously they have a female member/vocalist in the band, so both pics are probably fake.yawn..
― nostormo, Wednesday, 27 February 2013 21:05 (eleven years ago) link

I guess I kind of half expected they'd look full on costume-y, like the Swedish GHOST. (What are they called now again?)
