Lekker noisrock, heb gisteren een live LP beluisterd en lag dubbel, vond het rocken en een shitload aa feedback met zang die niet te verstaan is. heb ff op youtube gekeken en vond niet echt iets wat in de buurt kwam.
Deze is wel aardig:
quote:]Comets on Fire is an American noise rock band from Santa Cruz, California. The band was formed in 1999 by guitarist and vocalist Ethan Miller and longtime friend bassist Ben Flashman, who were seeking to create rhythmically and sonically intense music that paid no attention to categorizations.

[edit]History
The band started in 1999 and released their debut record on Alternative Tentacles (Jello Biafra's label). This album shows the influence of the Butthole Surfers, Hawkwind and the MC5. The next album Field Recordings from the Sun for Ba Da Bing label showed more growth on the record with new drummer Utrillo Kushner, as well as saxophones being added to their noise rock jams. Before the next record the band officially added Ben Chasny of Six Organs of Admittance to their lineup in 2003. He had previously performed and recorded with them. With this line-up they got a deal on Sub Pop Records and released their critically acclaimed Blue Cathedral. The record exposed them to a whole new fan base and the record found favor with enough people for Comets on Fire to tour as the opening act for Sonic Youth, Dinosaur Jr and Mudhoney. In 2006, they released their fourth album Avatar which showed the band turning away from their psychedelic noise jams for a more subdued sound that ventures close to classic rock at times.
They are notable for their heavy use of the Echoplex, used primarily on vocals but on other instruments as well. This often renders the lyrics unintelligible; Miller claims to not remember the lyrics after putting an album together.[citation needed]
The band has been on hiatus since 2006.

Die recentere platen (Blue Cathedral en Avatar) vind ik beter dan die meer noisy platen, eigenlijk. Ben Chasny:
You have time. You are doing fine.

Ja, dat kan ik goed begrijpen. Ik wist niet wat mij overkwam toen ik die live plaat hoorde. Behoorlijk fucked up.

Dus Ben Chasny is nu aan het toeren als Six Organs of Admittance, maar met Comets on Fire als band. En voor een tientje staan ze eind van de maand in Utrecht. Wat.
