Big News! New Royal Trux long player! First in 17 years!
 

Yeah, I heard... I think Soup Nazi posted about this recently.

I'm digging into my Trux collection and playing some shit today in celebration.

Who cares what the nazi did, its an internet bully. Are you its lapdog, Severian?

Man, shut the fuck up.

Yeah, I guess -- if being stoked on new Royal Trux makes me Soup Nazi's lapdog, then yeah I'm his lapdog.

Yeah, man. Looking forward to it!

can someone explain what this is to me? is it a live record or is it like a live collage or what?

regardless real excited, hope to catch them real soon.

Sounds like new material played/captured in live performance.

Description from Drag City

In other words, it sounds fucking awesome. Like, exactly the kind of shot in the arm my rock selection needs in 2017.

Royal Trux share "Sometimes" from new LP...

From Drag City:

The Fall are also going to be at the Cropped Out Festival in Louisville. It will be part of their first US tour in 11 years.

Mark E Smith in Trumpland... Somebody oughta make a documentary!

New Royal Trux sounds good, boys and girls. Sounds good indeed.

Yes sir, I'm enjoying it too. Picked up a copy when I saw them in Glasgow last month, awesome live show too.

It was fantastic seeing them in London. They seemed to be as high as kites, and kept fucking things up but when rney bit their stride it was magic.

why is there no back to school on this? :((((

TRUXXX

Get it here: https://royaltruxmusic.bandcamp.com/...-ft-kool-keith. (Dunno whether there will be a physical release as well... :confused:).

anyone heard the record? seems to be getting savaged a little (to be fair the kool keith track is shite, interesting but) pretty unfairly, trux doing smooth zonked rawk in a way that totally makes sense for them but doesn’t sound quite like anything they’ve done before. realllll solid stuff.


also looks like they’ve broken up again lol

Apparently they are touring in May... so we'll see how broken up they are then

did you see hagerty’s tweets? not sure if it’s a PR move but dude seems pretty fed up

love jen dearly but can imagine she’d be a right fucking pain

According to her she has no idea what hagerty's tweets are about and she says he is just stirring shit up

Which tweets?

https://www.google.co.jp/amp/s/www.s...e-beef%3famp=1 excuse the severian bait website, best summary I can find. proceeded to get back together, then hagerty announced he’d left again during an interview with the guardian (which Herrema claimed to be bullshit?)

This band is utter sjite. On paper it's mint, but as bobby Robson so refutably pointed out: music isn't played on a fucking crak pipe. Turned the new un off after 2 songs or summat. Nay riffs, nay noise, nay melody. Cliche aye but they sound like a shit mik n keef rip off but without the aforementioned.

tour canned


RIP TRUX, VIVA FOREVER

Yeah i have to say the new tracks i heard were a bit disappointing, too bad the tour got cancelled, i really enjoyed seeing them last year

I dunno the record's gloriously shite to me, it's so half-arsed that it actually sounds like how everyone wrote about them? pastichey sure (suburban junkie lady sounds like it's been coughed up by a pitchfork review-reading AI) but it hits certain points where it's tapping into something so profoundly dumb that it's jaw-dropping.




VIVA

The royal trux instagram page is still fairly active just posting bullshit though, probably deliberately so

I have enjoyed seeing you poking the bear in the comments.

Yeah well fuck them or whoever controls that IG account, they obviously hold their audience in contempt

yeah I mean this reunion is pretty fucking cynical, only just stumbled on this https://blackbananas.bigcartel.com/p...eat-with-trux-


but this is royal trux so I guess I'm just glad that I got that totally fucking dumb live record and a gloriously phoned in turd of an lp. I don't think this shit is going to do anything to damage their reputation, it's sort of disappointing in a sense in that it definitely plays up to the bullshit narrative that the music press concocted of them being talentless junkie dropkicks rather than genuinely talented musicians but.....who gives a fuck. trux are still great.
