eighties matchbox psychosis

If Elvis had lived to front The Jon Spencer Blues Explosion with a bad case of The Cramps, it might have sounded a little like ‘Psychosis Safari’.

'Might', because it also might have ended up a crock of badly digested shit squeezed from the bowels of a fat man singing with a bunch of scary middle-aged Americans with varying weirdness difficulties. But anyhow.

‘Psychosis Safari’ spews all the expected dead-eyed nihilism of post-Generation X “what now??” youth, shot through with accompanying unfocused anger and an underlying desire to quite probably shag, snort and smoke everything in their way. Frankly whatever music and bad drugs the Disaster were brought up on is none of our business. And should comprehensively stay that way in everyone’s best interests.

The B-Liners also see fit to allow self-harmer extraordinaire Casey Chaos from US agit-punk-metal black sheep Amen – a man who is plainly a mentalist – to twiddle the knobs on some B-side action. Which really should be enough to forewarn you that these Brighton boys are just a few requisite bricks short of the proverbial house.

So to recap, this is The Elvis Spencer Cramps Explosion with added nutjob bile. And it’s gonna crash the charts this Sunday, y’say?!??? Respect is due.

Psychosis Safari

Re: Psychosis Safari

Dunno, but the singer looks like a splice of Richard Ashcroft and Lemmy.

Re: Psychosis Safari

Did they ever?

Psychosis Safari

The Elvis Spencer Cramps Explosion
My new favourite band!

Psychosis Safari

They never sounded like Motorhead in the first place, you've only heard 'Ace of Spades' you narrow minded git.

But for plans for the future...
Tour some more
Sell a couple more copies of record
Disappear
Release badly sold single
Dropped from Universal
Claim they went independent
Release album that doesn't sell a copy
Withdraw from Playlouder contract
Start drinking with members of Menswear

And they were so good before they realised where the fuck Shoreditch was.

Re: Psychosis Safari

Must piss you off that you got it so wrong. Not going to fit into your sterotypical image for a failed band, huh? You are going to look a real dick if they succeed and your stupid narrow minded stuck-up comments remain on here for everyone to see.

What happened?
Released new single which did ok, picking up following
Made new CD to be released in September
6 album deal with Universal
Universal supported tours through America and Europe, with the French and German crowds going crazy, complete sellout tour
Supported Placebo and brought their music to a wider audience
Further large publishing contracts signed
Signed up for Glastonbury, Leeds, Reading 2003
160 gigs and not slowing down

Whats going to happen?

I dont know. One thing for sure - more ridiculous shits like you talking rubbish because you are too dim to understand that other people might like something that you dont. Just because YOU dont like it, doesnt mean its going to fail. Live with it, its about time you grew up.

Re: Psychosis Safari

Where was Chicken in the chart?
Cos that's all that really matters to Engulf & Devour.
A 6 album deal doesn't mean they'll make 6 albums, it means Universal have the option.

Quote from big cheese @ Universal:

"Who the hell are The Eighties Matchbox B-Line Disaster? What on earth is No Death? Hmmm..."

Re: Psychosis Safari

Apparently they've sold sod all copies of their album.
They've gigged too much.
They. Are. Shite.
No wave is dead.

Re: Psychosis Safari

Apparently the guitarist with the stupid cane and mohawk is a closet queer but dumped his 'boyfriend' when he feared this info would become public knowledge...

The Eighties Matchbox B-Line Disaster - Psychosis Safari

This is to the negitive sparrows


Apparently they have sold more records than all of you

Apparently they have rocked more crowds than you

Apparently they don't care what you think and they just make TUNES !!

The Eighties Matchbox B-Line Disaster - Psychosis Safari
