listening to the new !!! record, "louden up now", and i highly recommend it! i don't know how many of you have heard about them...those in the bay area or nyc may be more likely to know who they are...but they have the best combo of funk and rock. the guitar is very reminiscent of the edge (u2). this shit is so bottom heavy, too! and the horns are great! definitely one of the few rock bands that you can dance to...and REALLY dance to!

I've been meaning to pick this up for a couple months now. But I never know where to look in the record store!

you too, gooey...you should check them out. its some hot shit. and lots of bush bashing on this new record. a lot of folks should like that.

SassyBritches said:

NOW I'm interested!

SassyBritches said:

that's so 2003....

Tessa said:

even though the election is so 2004?

SassyBritches said:

you know how these things work. in 2004, everyone's jumped on the bush-bashing bandwagon. the trend-setters were doing it last year. while everyone was racing to catch up with us, we moved on to something else. it's much cooler this year to bash the bashers, in this trendy post-modern election year. catch up

Tessa said:

damn...always a day late and a dollar short. story of my life.

I saw them last year at Coney Island. They were great. They had that pot-punk/dance/funk sound similar to The Pop Group or A Certain Ratio. I prefer their live stuff to their studio tracks.

NWF said:

they are so much fun live. you can't help but dance around! unfortunately, i haven't seen them live since i lived in philly (over a year ago). i've missed them both times they came to chicago...

SassyBritches said:

I've heard them before a few times, and I like them. For some reason, I expected them to sound like Imperial Teen, another fun, dancy rock band, but they're nothing like them. Good, but in a different way. All the incarnations of Shit Scheisse Merde are groovy.

Hey, kids, it's Obvious Question Time!

How the hell do you pronounce their name?

like this:

chk chk chk or pow pow pow or ungh ungh ungh, etc.

SassyBritches said:

Ahh, now I get the thread title. I like that.

You could even change it to fit your mood: "Aaauugh aauugh aauugh! Poot poot poot!"

Ahhhhh...I love them so Their tour with Breeders was one of the best shows I've seen. They played 1st Ave in July 2002, and rocked! Didn't think the Breeders portion of the show was great, but IT certainly were. Most of the crowd didn't immediately know who they were when they opened, but they were definitely all diggin' it and dancin' around by the end.

I'm on their mailing list and they've dropped a few hints about possibly doing another album. We'll see...

"Like I give a sheeeit, like I give a sheeeeit about that fucker...."

That's the best track on that album.

NWF said:

you got it? what do you think about the rest of it?

SassyBritches said:

I'm getting this tomorrow.

GangstaFam said:

its hot shit, baby! buy the double disc (its the price of one) if you see it! its got some remixes that are really cool also!

I'll see what I can find.

i've really been diggin' on "me and giuliani down by the schoolyard" the past few days! this may be my favorite track on the record.

gangstfam, did you have any luck finding this record yet?

SassyBritches said:

Goin' to get it now. I'll let you know what I think.

You're right Sassy. It's great! So bratty and so funky at the same time.

"I don't give a shit about that motherfuckin' shit!"

"George Bush can suck my fuckin' dick!"

GangstaFam said:

yeah, "pardon my freedom" is a funny song. its probably my least favorite on the record but still a fun, arrogant song!
