It's probably the best gig I've ever seen (competing in my mind against of all things Ulrich Schnauss in the back room of a pub in Cambridge, the Hidden Cameras at the late, lamented Boat Race, and a Mogwai end-of-tour show). I hope they leave in the absolute *demolishing* of a heckler Falco dished out...
go on, leave now, we know you've got to hurry home and tape Sex and the City
Quite frankly, I'm gutted. For the people who haven't heard any McLusky, "To Hell With Good Intentions", "Lightsabre Cocksucking Blues", "You Should Be Ashamed, Seamus", "Without MSG I Am Nothing", "World Cup Drumming"...

I always found the bassist kind of scary because of those mad spittle flecked vocals he'd do, but then it turns out he's this cute gangly nerdy guy who says things like 'I HURTED MY FINGER.'
I kind of lost interest in them after a while but I always wish the first album got more love, there's a lot of shrieky pop genius on that, and 'Medium Is The Message' is a better Pixies song that most actual Pixies songs and awesome driving music.
Also 'there's an eight per cent chance that you know Charles Dance and you're no damn friend of mine....DANNNNNNY BAKKKERRRRRRRRRR, DANNNNNY BAAAAAAAAAAKERRRRRRRRRRR...'

Terrible news, I went out and bought do dallas on vinyl as soon as I heard about it and I intend to wear my mcluksy badge with pride for the forseeable future. Im so glad I made the effort to see them the 9 times in the past 2 years. Thanks Falco, Jon, Jack and anyone else associated with mclusky.
Just one request, there really should be some sort of final release or something what will happen to the many quality songs we know exist 'How To Spot A Record Company' for example.
Thankyou Malax. There will be a final release, which was due to be an interim one, hopefully a three disc set, a sides, b sides, and a final cd of live tracks (including from the ULU show) and unreleased/demo songs, probably over 50 songs in total. We hope to have it out for regular album price so nobody will feel shafted.
falco well, i guess i'll just hafta say 'okay' to this and not feel shafted at all.peel sessions anyone?

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.

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.
