I got their album called All Hour Cymbals a good while ago, after reading a glowing review of them in Uncut......

I didnt like it at all, it has to be said. I saw them on Jools Holland as well, the lead singer must owe David Byrne royalties because he ripped off his dancing so much.

Just not my cup of tea I'm afraid.

funny, I was just talking about them to my mate, who found this thread and sent it on. I thought their performance on Later... was electrifying, one of the best performances by a band I've never heard of before I've ever seen. I got their album, and tickets for whelans. I love them, a really fresh sound, and I think these guys are going to be AMAZING live. Can't wait!

I saw them on jools too, though they were interesting both musically and crazy dancing! I've listened to some of their stuff, very talkin heads influenced alright. It'll take a little more listening before i form a solid opinion tho, but i think i like it...:D

I really enjoyed them on Later, I listened to the tracks on myspace, they are really good, I'd like to see them at Whelans. Agree about the David Byrne thing, definitely influenced.

I listened to their cd again cos i thought i may have been wrong. No, i think i can actually hear them damn hippies juggling on record!!!!!!!!!!!! Still sucks.
