^ fuckin a !
I've seen em twice- you won't be disappointed. If you are a fan, to see em.
I knew someone that saw them in the early 90s, and post-reformation - and said they play better now.
Though I'm not sure if Kim deal is still in the band?
Either way, they're great IMO
i think kim deal has left.... Kim Deal did the backing vocals too so her departure might make a significant difference to their sound, i dunno.
That it is.In other news, I have the energy of a 10 year old corpse...! Rattling is shite![]()
Enjoy!
If it's shit, you can blame me - but I highly doubt it!
Btw your username reminds me of a gig I saw a couple of years back - Evan Dando & Juliana Hatfield.
I do love that song a profess a weakness for both of those artists.
Cool hearing them duet 'my drug buddy' live.
And even wasnt fucked off his head.
He once got busted leaving Australia with smack and acid; tripping in the airport dropping coins down storm water drains as if they were vending machines. I've seen his band leave him alone onstage by himself in disgust at his state of intoxication.
That's my kind of performer...sometimes heh
Intoxicated performers can be extremely entertaining, Shane McGowan had it down to a fine art, bashing himslef over the head with metal trays and other crazy antics, but if someone is so wasted that they can barely stand up or cant even manage to slur the words to their own songs then they have gone too far and overdone it (Pete Doherty, syd barrett?). It's a fine line to tread i guess. Not just for music artists, but for us mere mortals too.
So what do I have to say about Zodiac Mindwarp? What a letdown. We have been going to their gigs since the early nineties and have never seen them perform like this. To be fair to the band, they were up to scratch and did their jobs to the usual high standard, but it was Zodiac that spoiled it. We paid £16 (about $26) per ticket for a show upstairs at the O2 Islington, which is more expensive than the average band that plays in that room, so we expected the performance to be worth at least that. Zodiac stumbled on to the stage completely wasted.
He's really aged badly and instead of looking the cool rock star he did years ago, he looks more like a seedy old man who likes to holiday in Bangkok by himself. He slurred through his words, he fell over and he had to keep himself balanced on the rigging at the side of the stage throughout the show. I'm sure he thought he was amazingly stylish gesturing towards his cock and then pointing at various women in the audience. I felt sorry for him and annoyed for the people I had convinced to see this band for the first time. The last time I saw them was at The Borderline in 2010. That was an excellent gig, but I think more for the fact that The Treatment were supporting. The rest of the band are wasting their time with Zodiac in my opinion, particularly "The Cat" on drums who stole the show again. Quite frankly we think he's a tosser and so did the rest of our group. We definitely won't be rushing out to see them again, very disappointing to say the least.
