Dead Meadow, i really like these guys.
 

I have Feathers and like it alot. Its the kind of record u just leave on and do whatever, and while it does get samey after a time, its still cool, and they have a wonderful feel. i'm into the bass player's groove.

i just ordered 2 more, a live one from Maxwell's, NJ, and another, b/c Feathers is all i have. pretty psyched. can't wait. isn't finding fresh bands the best? tell me some Dead Meadow stuff.

I heard they will be re-releasing two earlier albums, "Howl From the Hills" and the S/T first record sometime soon.

"Shivering kings and others" is good as well

Edit: the Self titled album will be re-released next tuesday 9/19. "howl From the Hills" and an album of Peel Sessions will be realesed later in the year.

I have all their stuff and they're a band that really growed on me. The only slight dissapointment i have with them is the vocals, i think they are quite weak but they sounded great live and they're really nice guys too. You should buy the self titled when it gets re-released, the first song on that is my favorite one of theirs

Unfortunately, I've ever heard of Dead Meadow, although I like the name. What type of band are they? You got any good links? Or what?

Cheers.

Do you fancy putting the tags around that to make it a proper link? It would save me copying and pasting it, although that would have taken considerably less time than it has to type this.

Gah.

There's a few songs up on their myspace page for you to check out

Cheers.

I like live albums a lot. They're often the best place for a newcomer to start. But if it's not very good, then so be it.

Stroke of luck. Thank you very much.

Well yeh I probably enjoyed them so much cos I was really stoned and they were just fuckin amazing. I think the vocals got better after the first album but whatever. I didn't like Shivering King at first but it's ok now that I've listened to it more, Feathers is consistently good

I've been listening a bit. They seem quite cool. Thanks.

some friends of mine made a music video for them a couple of years ago or maybe less? anyway. is that 2 degrees of separation? my only claim to fame, ha ha. anyway, it's pretty good stoner rock.

Hey diesel I think your music is really cool, if you ever play any gigs or shit near Leeds PM me or sumthing, it sounds really spacey and trippy. I would like to hear more especially after a spliff or 2

Well the live clips i heard sounded pretty good. i think i may have ordered the last one from Amazon b/c I ordered it, and then they were cleaned out. Its becoming harder to find that one, so i hear. its live from Maxwells in NJ which i know very well..so that' kinda cool.

Or you can just sign up to freesofree and download the 2 live shows they have there

Thanks dudes. But i'm on 56k over here. u believe it..no sense sitting around for 3 hrs to download a show only to have it get interrrupted anyway. i like the official copies too. when i go to cable modem soon tho i will explore that end.

dead meadow...ahh....my first post in awhile and its cause i finally see a topic i find interesting. the Got Live if ya Want it live CD is awesome, great quality and their only officially released live cd...PLUS it has my favorite dead meadow song, beyond the fields we know..which NEVER gets played live, at least none of the 5 or 6 times ive seen them.. one of my favorite songs ever and IMO one of the greatest songs ever period. its funny i stumbled upon this topic cause after i checked these boards i was gonna go check thier site and see what they been up to...

i got a few other live DM shows, a video of them from BAr in new haven, which is ehhh quality

Freesofree.net, the dinosaur jr audio/video site, has a few dead meadow shows for DL, as The Lung has stated

i love those guys

<<edit>>

after checking thier site..i see they are reissuing thier first 2 albums, AND the peel session that ive been reading about for a few years and though would NEVER come out....it is the first time a band was allowed to record thier peel session in the US and send it to england. midd september for all reissues i guess

if you really like dead meadow, i suggest getting their first album, it is still my favoritem and the reissure version is gonna have a video i guess

cool cool. my DM albums came to me today. "Got LIVE" and "Shivering King". I'll have to report back on them once i take them in enough. my intial impression here is that Feathers is quite a better recording. but that can be overlooked for quailty material.

Feathers are really good. Trippy folk music. My favorite kind. Dead Meadow is really good. One of my faves.

Ok, well having listened to alot of DM stuff in the form of the Live album and Shivering King, i have to say they don't offer enough variety for me. It's fine in doses, but it's alot of the same riffs, slightly altered for some heavy psychedlic blues, which is fine, but Feathers really progressed their sound and style. a bit of a bummer b/c i had their best album already.

Shivering King is not great and a live album is a live album. You shouldn't be put off them. Buy the self titled when it comes out because that one is really really good and in my opinion better than feathers

im not a big fan of shivering king or the howls from the hills album...i really love the first album and Feathers...Feathers just sounds like a tripped out dream or something...the whole album is so delay/echoy and drony....i love it

but i still liek the self titled best cause they show theyre heavy side on it, something missing from Feathers

i hear a lot about the first one, which i may take the chance on eventually. but its all about Feather's right now. the album kicks from start to finish. the production is excellent, guitar tones are beautiful. they have a chance to reach the Swervedriver palatte of guitar genius if they spit out more like Feathers.

seen them live twice, fucking brilliant stuff

I was at this one [rl]http://www.freesofree.net/albumdetail.php?AlbumID=296[/url] and they were excellent. Noone was really listening to them though, I loved it. Saw them before supporting Super Furry Animals and they were brilliant then too.

Shivering king is my favourite and even though everyone else seems to hate the vocals, I can't get enough of them. Distinctive, moany warbling with that type of music just fits right for me. You wouldn't really call mark e smith a singer but it works, as does dead meadow

i didnt like the vocals at first too, but, as with most bands whose vocals i didnt like at first, they grew on me
