Europe at the end of this year. Amazing live show.
yup they rule
and finally you can get their records over here! i remember asking about them in rough trade a year ago and the people behind the desk having no idea who they were. HOW I SHALL LAUGH NEXT TIME I GO IN AND SEE THEIR STUPID ASHAMED FACES!

I like Man Man
Six Demon Bag's one of my top 5 albums of the year. Anyone got their first one?
yus
i prefer it. especially due to '10lb Moustache' and 'I, Manface', which are better than anything on the second record.
Oh dear
The only song I've heard is that fucking "fee fi fo fum" one, is it all as stupid as that? It all seems a bit naff to me.
Engwish Bwudd
Bizarrely enough, that was used by some Nickolodeon channel in the US.
...
I prefer Need New Body, plus I don't really think they sound like Beefheart, but they are pretty good.
no....
...they wish they were Tom Waits though.
