How about bands/artists who look like shit but kick serious ass?

[Herbert Read]

that's a blerk

How dare you say that about my mate

 

[Herbert Read]

back on topic, please! God, I used to know loads! I'm a bit tipsy now but they will come back to me.

Mogwai? They look like a bunch of smug cunts but they are one of the loudest bands I have ever heard.

 

[Sabu]

 

[Greenfish]

Jesus, they ALL look like wrong'uns.

 

[Crispy]

That's editor in the middle.

I'm going to be in one of these soon.

 

[Madusa]

Jesus, they ALL look like wrong'uns.

The one on the right looks like a kiddie fiddler. Who are they?

Never got into Mogwai.

 

[Sabu]

Poison Idea.

 

[Madusa]

Poison Idea.

Tbf though, dispite appearances, they do look like they'd be good musicians.

Yeah, I kinda agree about Muse...

Pissed and need to do a shed load of lesson planning so I'm logging off. More tomarra.

Or maybe I should fuck it and do another lesson on the lyrics to Mr Brownstone like I did the other day. lol

They look like a bunch of accountants out for an edgy night. Their music, at least before (now it's qutie mellow) kicked serious arse. Hard to believe these geeks played songs like Facet squares

I'm listening to them now

Plug In Baby is possibly one of my most favouritist songs eva!!

 

[upsidedownwalrus]

What about Screaming Trees?

OK, Lanegan looks kind of cool in a moody sort of way, but those two fat guys? The other anonymous guy?

Yet their music was stunning.

and Ian MacKaye forgot how to smile between the pic of Minor Threat and the one of Fugazi

 

[upsidedownwalrus]

And while Jesus Lizard don't really look wimpy, you'd still never have believed that they played some of the most kick-arse music ever invented.

 

[Silva]

Also the first that came to mind. Looking at them, you don't expect them to be one of the loudest bands ever.

I swear we used to have a door bell with the exact same tune as the riff in plug in baby when I was a kid... we never had the regular ''ding dong'' chime like normal people, but a lame thing that would play elaborate tunes and we'd tune it for a xmas one at christmas time.

Never heard of them but the guy with the longer blonde hair looks like my mate Bruno. They look pretty cool as a band though...'cept the anonymous guy.

God, I'm meant to be working and then having an early night. If I fall on my face tomorrow morning, I'll be out for blood, you lot!
