I've never heard them. I've heard them but never listened.

saw them at lollapalooza, will see them again in nyc :D their new album is really good.. i hear...

haha, awesome pic!

 

 

I see them in March in Boston :dance: So psyched!

see..this is a band that i cannot start lovin' tried it but it's not working- for me.

i saw them at bumbershoot, they were fucking great. i can't wait to see them again next month. i wanted to follow them to vancouver too, but my dumbass self couldn't figure out how to get tickets. FUCK CANADA.

Yeah! Fuck Canada!

 

 

 

 

:uhoh:

their new album is really good.. i hear...

it just gets better each time i listen to it. oh my. :heart:

Yeah! Fuck Canada!

 

 

 

 

:uhoh:

 

OMG.

So unless my eyes are deceiving me, I cant believe there is not a thread about them. They might be one of the most underrated bands out there. Their new tour has become a total show. Each song has a whole story behind it - with Kevin Barnes starring in it. Hes a great showman, but more importantly, Im sure hes a genius. His ideas are just insane that he comes up with. I guess words cant describe the show but for those who have seen it, they realize they probably wont ever see anything like it.

 

The NYC show had Kevin riding as a king on a horse (yes - a live horse) and his servants putting shoes on his feet. Just imagine if Chris got this into his shows - Oh I should add he was near naked in the tiniest of shorts. He was also covered in 'blood' during one part of the show, which was highly erotic. Some really sexed up parts of the show too. I guess I shouldnt spoil even more for those going to see them soon.

 

The 'Smells Like Teen Spirit' cover had the audience on the brink of insanity. I miss a lot of his older songs, and it seems like aside from "Disconnect the Dots" the earlier stuff is coming off of Hissing Fauna (Shes a Rejector), etc.

and one of their final songs with Kevin covered in shaving cream (before going into the crowd and covering all the audience with it) and lots and lots of confetti and glitter and whatever else they were throwing.
