I saw them at Endfest 06 in Seattle.
Two thumbs down. I don't need obnoxious fat dykes telling me they don't care what I think even though I wasn't even bothered in the first place. By aggravating me, I am aggravated towards them. |
Yawn.
Indie credentials >>> Plan B cover story >>> NME >>> EXPLOOOODDDEEEE!!! Overrated. I can only speak from an English perspective but over here they're kind of old news. |
aye theyre crap
|
your all cunts.
get the fuck out of my thread. (except hypertonic.) |
Saw them live last year. All the songs sounded quite similar. The bassist had some nice riffs but that was about it.
A fat chick on stage was still one of the funniest things I've ever seen though. |
The "fat chick" is beth ditto.
shes one of the coolest ladys around. and vocally,well, no one can hold a candle to her. |
Sorry, not that keen. But, to be fair, that's entirely based on the 'hit single' which I hear despite not really wanting to.
|
i remember hearing a whole lot about them in like 2001, then actually listening to them and, well, they didn't make a huge impression on me, seems really middle of the road.
i thought only critics liked them, them and the krs staff. i actually think it's pretty cool what beth does, and in a way it's a culmination of the riot grrrl thing, but their music is not good, so... |

pretty much. i dont think beth/the gossip could be further from obnoxious aggravating fat dyke(s). they do have a queer positive message if thats what danny meant. |
meh. they always struck me as very "NME"
|
i like her voice, she's got a bit of a motown thing going for her.
the music is fun, not WHOA THAT BLEW MY MIND but fun. on that motown note, i'd add a few members to the band-- the sound can be a bit thin @ times-- i'd get her a backup band worthy of wattstax! did they use to tour with sleater-kinney? ive got some s-k mp3s where they thank the gossip |

I saw them tour with erase errata and it was a fucking amazing show. rarely do i even "dance" at a show, usually i stick to the hipster swa(y). i didnt find their live sound to be "thin" (such a bad adjective to use after the above shit) at all, but it was a small club, so i can see what your saying being a problem at larger venues.

i've always liked their music, and seeing a fat
woman with such presence and confidence may disgust/amuse other people, but i appreciate beth the more for that, beyond even the music. they opened for SY once upon a time too. |

YES! Kim helped with the standing in the way of control album artwork as well. |
kill rock stars is dead.

i'm more a drag city man myself. though krs did some great post-punk reissues a couple of years ago.
|
they don't excite me too much... i heard some of their older stuff, and while i think beth has a great voice, it just doesn't cut it for me.
i hate to say it and i know it is very prejudiced, but i think one of the only reaons they got so far is because they are ostentatiously NOT a pop band. just my opinion though. |
i bought an EP by them in about 2000 and thought it was decent but i wasn't that into it to buy an album. maybe i'll dig it out now. i remember there being another band around at that time called bangs who were maybe similar and better or something. i can't remember though because it was bloody years ago.
and anyway, it's kind of stupid of all you people to dismiss the singer for nonmusical reasons. |
