every time somebody bumps this thread I am reminded that I totally forget this band exists until somebody bumps the thread.

lots and lots (and lots) of gvf tiktoks here. some of these are funny. he must burn through 12 different facial expressions in those five seconds, and some people capture them with devilish precision.

The only problem with the TikTokers is that their mockery is "light-hearted."

head-drop-as-mic-drop is classic, even if light-hearted.

Let he who has not mimed along to a singer's weird tics and overexertions or sang a random song in the style of Tom Petty/Bob Dylan/Eddie Vedder cast the first stone.

good on him, also a band that probably has more to lose than others

Yeah, for real, lotta respect for that guy.

lol I hate this band's music but I guess I'm Capn Save a Greta, saw this on Twitter today, crowd is very interesting, much younger and much more female than I would have expected

I just visited JPC.de and was confronted with this publicity shot:

Guy on the left looks strikingly like the guy on the left from Army of Lovers:

Love to play this game on the train where I guess what concert I’m the city are all these people going to. Should have got this one cuz they all look like they are in the band.

I really can't particularly hate or like these guys, it just feels like they're never quite sure why they're doing what they're doing - musically, performatively, and in that publicity shot. What are they going for? How does it fit into the band's ethos? Does the band have an ethos?

Like they have the received trappings of decadence, but they don't actually seem decadent? They're like an America's Got Talent act.

Yeah my impression of seeing a live video was 'sexless.' Led Zeppelin 1970 but all wearing purity rings.
