I was expecting a 'heavier' vibe, but their music/interaction made me smile + headbang, two things I v. much like to do of a w/end. Getting us to sit down was a nice touch.
Because I'm so old and fat, Lightning Bolt don't half remind me of early 80s SST/Homestead etc. hardcore - my friend G said they sound like Happy Flowers, which I thought was spot on!
I actually like their DVD best of all...armchair punk!!

Thought of 80s US hardcore thing as soon as they started the set (having not gotten around to hearing much from them before) and shortly after I noticed a couple of black flag t-shirts.

It's like this other group i saw a few weeks ago, called Hella. They were amazing to watch live, mainly cos the guitarist and drummer were awesome musicians, but listening to them at home would drive me mad.

but i really don't know how to compare all these noisy duos based on one listen.. they all sound roughly the same.
― jellybean (jellybean), Sunday, 18 April 2004 00:47 (twenty years ago) link
first album: noisy, scrapy -> second album: more melodic, songy.
hella:
first albums: melodic, tom lehrer tunes innit -> latest album: scabrous noise.
hella want to be (what) lightning bolt (were). lightning bolt want to be hella. I think. roughly.
