They prove how bored everyone is with haircut indie.

am just easy to please!

This seems to be totally contrary to popular opinion. Going to see them next week so will form an opinion from that instead. EP is excellent.

Perhaps you saw them on a bad night, but i thought that they were amazing. They made me feel all young and happy to be watching live music.

To be honest I've not been over-enamoured by the stuff on their Myspace so far. I don't think it's bad - it just hasn't grabbed me one way or another (although I haven't really made a concerted effort to get into it yet - just listened to a bit here and there) - but a lot of people who seem to have good music taste seem to be saying good things about them so I'll probably try and check them out live sometime before making a definite decision one way or the other.

It's 'superb' and 'best'. HTH.

at the Classic Grand in Glasgow

They were just a bit shouty and dull

I was far from the only person in the crowd who thought they weren't good, by the end of it there was barely anyone clapping and it was fairly full

To be fair, they had replaced Vampire Weekend who'd pulled out, so no one really wanted to see them anyway

But still, they just seemed a bit... empty?

WHOOOOSH :)

they used to sound a bit more like meneguar/cap'n jazz/lovesick. hectic mid-90s stuff

said this as well. i don't really see it tbh. similar as in both making quirky pop, thats a bit loud and a bit fast. BUT i think los campesinos! is a lot more structured, their songs are quite conventional while jo-fo are a little more random. love both band though.

but sections of their songs always make me think of Braid. It's one of those inexplicable things.

There are comparisons. Jofo do loads of stuff that don't sound like Meneguar, but there's no doubt that there are comparisons there.

They also sound like early Seafood to me, but heavier and faster.

But this is all GUFF. Who cares who they sound like when they sound so good?

at the Brudenell, Leeds, a few months back but the MS tunes are ace.

Will have to check them out again when they play with iFR!

the antithesis of haircut indie would be a huge, fat, bald, trance casualty from the 80's puking lego into his dad's dinner, but you certainly get the idea, at least.

are you being for real?

Anyway, they're really good; also, they don't sound anything like Braid, really, nothing like them. But they do sound very similar to Meneguar and there's an obvious Cap'n Jazz influence (like a lot of bands though). This is all no bad thing.
