Why not get rid of the guitar? Do you really need it? Lyrics, too.
These guys also get rid of the stage. They’re like subway musicians beating on joint compound containers, though louder. Much louder.
The singer, who is busy drumming, sewed a microphone into his face mask, so he could go hands free. And I can only hope I’ll stumble upon them in the subway some day..
This is from a show in France in 2008. I found it on a raging website called weirdestbandintheworld.com. Lightning Bolt ranked 94th.
I’ve now watched it a few more times. I would definitely go see these guys live, even if I had to scalp tickets.
So, a bass and drums outfit. Always leave them wanting less.
But it doesn’t sound like less. Though it is less.
I think Megahost, Darlingside, Jens Lekman and The Roaches should all get together and cover “Armageddon It.”
But they have to fit “loaf of bread” somewhere into the lyrics.
But it is more. At least more than you should expect.
