Falco s now in a new rock band called Future of the Left, who have a double a-side single out and an album due in the fall. They are predictably great.

Guess I'm too lazy to put my signed* Rice Is Nice single up for stupid money. Also, I pretty much doubt anyone is actually buying at those prices, yeah. But maybe...(* I was young! Also, drunk.)
(Pissed off cz I have a tape which went for fifty quid on ebay last year, and another copy came up last month and got 95p)
― a passing spacecadet, Tuesday, 9 June 2009 14:54 (fourteen years ago) link
amazon cd prices are usually complete hallucinations on the seller's part. that said, i'd probably pay embarrassing money for an LP of do dallas.
― pretzel walrus, Tuesday, 9 June 2009 14:59 (fourteen years ago) link
Looking at eBay completed listings, a copy of the Mcluskyism 3CD set went for $29.57 the other day... less than half the Amazon asking price.

Saw this yesterday as well on DiS, I have all those CDs. Not willing to sell though.
Coincidentally, I interviewed Falco yesterday. Didn't mention this though, can't imagine he'd be very interested.

Do we have any idea what the meaning of the asterisk on their name is? I'm guessing that it has something to do with the line-up but would be delighted to know more.

Now known as Mclusky* (asterisk in reference to missing members), the band reformed to play The Garage in London on 3 December 2015 to raise money for cancer research with Rat the Magnificent (featuring Ian Catskilkin of Art Brut).

McLusky Do Dallas is one of the best albums ever made.
Also, to add a current bit of minutia, I think that Idles are the heir apparent to McLusky (not including Future of the Left). I spoke briefly to singer Joe Talbot briefly when they played Philly a year or two ago and mentioned this and he confirmed that at least one Idles member was a big fan.
― Loud guitars shit all over "Bette Davis Eyes" (NYCNative), Tuesday, 16 July 2019 14:06 (four years ago) link
I don’t think Idles are furious in the same way as Mclusky, and certainly don’t have the same dark humour.
― michaellambert, Tuesday, 16 July 2019 16:20 (four years ago) link
I'll let them know that they were wrong when they told me.
Oh, and no dark humor in Idles? Um, okay.
― Loud guitars shit all over "Bette Davis Eyes" (NYCNative), Wednesday, 17 July 2019 17:53 (four years ago) link
I’m sure they’ll be fascinated to hear someone disagrees with you on the internet.
Being fans does not not make them heir apparent.

YES to the Arming Eritrea song. That Future of the Left record is a powerhouse. There's a song towards the end, Drink Nike which is also a stunner.

Always had these down as a not quite as good 80s Matchbox. Are any of their albums as good as Horse Of The Dog?
― Fried Egg Sandwich, Monday, 22 July 2019 12:25 (four years ago) link
the 2nd and 3rd LPs are both solid, caustic, tight as fuck noise rock.
― meaulnes, Monday, 22 July 2019 12:38 (four years ago) link
I agree 'Do Dallas' is their best but 'The Difference' is the one I listen to most. It is indeed tight as fuck noise rock, but that slightlier poppy side on the 3rd gives it so much more.
