We are the Romans
Blatantly
Yep
then get the Big Business album on hydrahead, if you want to explore the label more.
Big Business
I still do not have this, but a good friend told me it was his favourite record of the year.
Should I invest with Christmas money?
Next year
The Melvins and Big Business are coming together to make a mutated beast of a band with two drummers. Should be class.
i've never heard
of big business, and have heard very little melvins, but still that excites me somewhat.
why?
Yeah
it really is a good album.
That is truly awesome news about the Melvins and BB, what label is it coming out on?
.
Ipecac Maybe? Could be Hydrahead I suppose, or Alternative Tentacles.
Deffo
We are the Romans. If you like botch, you should check out norma jean. www.myspace.com/normajean.
no no no no no
norma jean, pah. they are shit ripoffists.
id go with we are the romans, then anthology of dead ends, as japam is super.
Big Business, fantastic band, its about time they got some respect on this board.
Yep
Yet another vote for We Are The Romans, though the last track on Anothology Of Dead Ends is geeeeeeenius. I'd fucking love to hear that split with Cave In too! Best band on Hydrahead at the mo are Pelican IMHO.
In fact
seeing your post, I would say get both Romans and Anthology.
While we are talking about Big Business, does anyone like Karp?
ive heard the name.....karp
its the band that one of the members of bb used to be in wasnt it. i havent got round to checking them out yet, as i have a massive list of bands to check already.
what are they like?
on myspazz
http://www.myspace.com/botch
agreed
but also get hhead comps if you can. good stuff
WE ARE THE ROMANS!!!
'Modrian Is A Liar' and 'C Thomas Howell as The Soul Man' are two of the finest tunes around. You just can't lose with it. Try it on a bus/ train...makes me feel pretty lush!
OMFG!!!11!
Used We Are The Roman - $6
Testicicles Boa vs. Python - $4
Oneida Steel Rod e.p used - $3
RTX speed to roam new - $7
Will Haven El Diablo used - $8
all from the BEST record store in the world ever!! LOu's records on highway 101, CA. Spent the entire morning talking to the most knowledagble guy ever about everything cool from Oxes to Ex Models and he was clued up about DiS as well. I got $$worth of freebies too
This thread was a nice surprise too - wow re: Melvins / Big Business collab! YES WAY to the album being fucking fantastic too.
And to make sure you guys are gonna hate me even more: Mondo Generator with Winnebago Deal 2moro @ 3 Club in HOLLYWOOD baby! then maybe some Big Business on 16th Jan in San Fran?! im having a rad time.
Winnebago Deal?
More like Winnebago No Deal. Hahahaha geddit.
This will enduce more jealousy i think...fucking Towers of London are playing Scala tomorrow at Stylish Riots. I'm going to kick them in the shins.
theyve pulled out
broke a nail or someyhing
We are the Romans
Has all the recognisable stuff..anthology...if ur a fan thereafter which i;m sure you will be.
Some of you may have been witness to my knudson pasted a bout 100 times msg in the knudson Vs bellou thread a while back..therefore i say takea bpeak at minus the bear too..eventhough it sounds nothing like botch....but just as much genius!!!
oh and another band on hydrahead..or were.....harkonen!!
These Arms Are Snakes
Must be mentioned as well then.
Yeah
Hydrahead's a fantastic label:
Cave In, Isis, Knut, Scissorfight, Pelican, Harkonen, TAAS, Botch, Mare, 27, Jesu.
All great bands, all worth listening to lots and lots of.
Aren't TAAS on Jade Tree?
TAAS
Released a split on Hydrahead, but the EP and album were on JT.
Bastard
go and see Wires on Fire as well.
yeah totally
they are on December 18th
@ The Troubadour Santa Monica Blvd with Hella and Mae Shi! super shame i have a cruddy wedding to attend the next day about 150 miles away or i def would...still, i havent ruled it out completely yet. HARDcore.
If you
do. I will be so jealous.
