from years back. they were kinda gospel-y garage with silly revolutionary manifesto lyrics and sleevenotes. they looked fucking awesome - titl fashun - and were really quite fun. of their albums, i remember liking 'after dark' the most

I miss them greatly. I would suggest starting at the beginning: Destination Love: Live at Cold Rice is their earliest album and also one of their best. You will probably fall for them listening to that.

(I can't do the voice)

harder faster and more rock.

In Mass Mind and Save Yourself are both terrific albums, and Sound Verite is pretty good, too. They also have a wicked singles collection called I Want Some.

They really effectively mixed gospel, punk, soul, hardcore and polemic that doesn't make you want to hit them. Some fantastic brass arrangements in Save Yourself. All their stuff is awesomely recorded, too; a very rich, live sound, very bass-heavy but still really accurate in the treble too.

They don't rock so much as swing or groove. Way more musical than some would suggest. Ian Svenonious, the singer, is meant to be a bit of a cockfarmer but the only interview I ever read with him (circa Save Yourself in 1999) was pretty interesting, and he said some thought provoking things about sex and advertising.

sounds like a live album but they actually recorded it in the studio.

i play 'they live by night' when i dj and i always get two or three people coming up asking me who it is.

they are wicked.
