Members joncyberboy Posted June 3, 2008 Members Share Posted June 3, 2008 I saw them recently and the guy had some damn good tones going on and a cool sort of clanging delay. I had a dream last nighti saw his pedal board (yes i am sad) and it had a Mellowtone Wolf Computer on it! ha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had a dream last nighti saw his pedal board (yes i am sad) and it had a Mellowtone Wolf Computer on it! ha I saw them at wedgewood rooms a few years back, I like them but I found the drum machine really annyoing live....it was really loud. Yeah he has some great garagey tones going on......I think the melxowtone will be good for that kind of stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members friction Posted June 3, 2008 Members Share Posted June 3, 2008 good {censored}...he does have a cool slapback tone. Not sure what he uses though. The album art inside No Wow shows an old Selmer and some other cool amps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Philly Fuzz Posted June 3, 2008 Members Share Posted June 3, 2008 I like them ok. I have a couple of their albums and was into them for a bit. Some really cool garage-y songs, nice thrift store instruments, etc. But, man, they are the definition of uber-hipsters!... and a tad pretentious... lol.

Members Vince Posted June 3, 2008 Members Share Posted June 3, 2008 Yeah - I heard "Superstition" on a trailer for a Channel 4 series last year and got the first album (I think) off the back of it. A bit like PJ Harvey but angrier! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members p90teleman Posted June 3, 2008 Members Share Posted June 3, 2008 first two records are terrific - great bluesy-garage sounds and excellent SONGS too. Powerpop? No way. No Wow is just awesome bone dry dark blues paranoia. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members friendlybunny Posted June 4, 2008 Members Share Posted June 4, 2008 Hate the lyrics, and the singing style. Love the guitar riffs, tone, and the drum machine. The attitude is so leather jacket "tough." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
