Yeah, that was good. What's the track that is quite zappa-esque, with lots of bits where it stops and you hear the singer spitting? I love that one.

Although Pioughd might have not been quite as good as the older ones, Hurdy Gurdy Man was also excellent...

we've nearly arranged the venue for our Brixton arsequake night, Stainless Steel Providers.
the Happy Flowers records have been dusted off..
for what it's worth, Electric Larryland was a reasonable return to form and even Weird Revolution wasn't bad... but they have fucked over Touch & Go etc, so our love for Gibby must be tempered with knowing disapproval.

Anyone see them at Newport Leisure Centre, ( a week or two after Big Black ).?
The stage was two foot high , it being a function room of said leisure centre and because of the council they had to be known as 'The Blackhole Surfers '.
There was a woman dancer with them topless but with a beard who decided to take a piss in a beer glass half way through.
At the end Gibby had cymbal by t he edge of the stage, put some sort of lighter fluid on it set it alight and kept smashing it, sending fireballs up to the roof, and dripping flames towards the bunched masses.
Definately one of the wierder gigs I've seen.
Oha nd the carcrash/surgery film back drops

And who thought it would be a good idea for Kurt Cobain to share a room in rehab with Gibby.

Pioughd was always my favourite as it was the album that introduced me to the band.RenegadeDog said:
No, I'm Iron Man always raises a smile with me.
The guitarist for the band I was in back in NZ was a huge, huge fan and kept trying to make us sound like them. Easier said than done I might add.

Yeah, I don't think it's the sort of thing you can 'just do'. It has to just, sort of, happen...
Reminds me of this interview I read with Butch Vig in about 1993 where he said that he'd got loads of tapes in the post from hiphop bands, country bands, metal bands, all saying "Make me sound 'alternative'" on the basis of Nevermind...

I liked the first song, "The Birds are dying", but wasn't keen on some of the other tracks...
Jo/Joe said:
Yep. In many ways their nearest equivalent was probably Zappa. Albeit a more catchy zappa...
