I read recently one of the first bands Kayo Dot toured with between Choirs and Dowsing was Cerberus Shoal... First of all, that would've been the best shows ever, and second of all, I can definitely see a distinct Cerberus influence in some of Kayo's stuff that I'd never thought of before. Weeeird.

Speaking of which, I just got the FINAL EVER Cerberus Shoal recording, TAILOR OF GRAVES/HYMN 7 inch. This is the first thing they've released in 5 years. Of course, it was recorded 5 years ago, too..

Hahahaha intense.

Pretty insane to think the director of the Scooby Doo movie wrote Troma movies -- whose best friend is Belladonna -- is now dating a member of Kayo Dot. Weird pseudo celebs and shit..

Yeah he wrote Tromeo and Juliet and stuff I think.

I'm just saddened that she'll never be mine : (

He also used to be married to the hot chick from The Office. What the hell? That dude must have some serious game.

Yeah. Weird..

I can't wait to hear the new EP. I'm quivering in my avant-garde boots.

ad-Dim and Derek's Fantastic Kayo Dot Thread Great JOB!!

Don't reduce us and the almighty Kayo Dot to some bastardized Tim and Eric title!

True dat. Tim and Eric is possibly the worst show ever made. By the way, that PERSON WE WERE TALKING ABOUT ON SLSK yesterday, you know.. the real smart "cool" "intellectual" art house facebook friends girlfrien adding type dude? his favorite show of all time is Tim and Eric.

I reccomend Xavier to him once and he said he watched half an episode and said "it was just aguy walkin around a store for 30 minutes, it sucked."

Ah, the brilliant minds of this world.

Anyway, Kayo Dot is godlike -- I was heavily listening to the first 2 albums while writing PSYCHIC EXISTENTIALISM...

Every Tim and Eric fan I know is usually also a Family Guy fan. Hm, coincidence?

Weird interview with Mia:

hah.





why are pictures of mia so funnnnn

btw, that sheet music is weird. dude has long fingers.

Anyway, I'm on a big Kayo kick again. COYOTE finally is starting to make sense. I am hugely inspired by Kayo.

Did you ever listen to Thinking Plague, Derek? Some of their stuff seems like an early prototype of Kayo Dot.

I like how this thread is just me and you talking.



BTW, one time I was on last.fm and toby was talking to his fans on the kayo shoutbox. Cool dude!




Uh, wow, remember when they had a thousand members? This looks like a broken social scene group picture or something, haha. Why did all those people quit?

In 2006, near the end of the fall tour, four members – playing guitar, bass, drums, and trumpet – left the band for personal reasons.

This is a quote from Wikipedia, but I remember reading something that Toby said about how the departure of several band members made him realise that he was perhaps being kind of a "control freak". But yeah, he seems to be quite a nice guy, judging from the way he addressed the crowd when I saw Kayo Dot live.

Also,



I tell you, man, since I read that on a Rock-A-Rolla article about Coyote, I get shivers right from the album's first two verses - Help me / I'm disappearing. Knowing the background that led to those words really gives a whole new meaning to it.

James Gunn! That's crazy. Did Anyone see LolliLove?
Interesting stuff. They can hold my attention much better than some other experimental groups I've heard.
And the super short and foxy Asian lady doesn't hurt
