catchoftheday Posted July 8, 2005 Share Posted July 8, 2005 has anyone heard their new record, or simply the band ... if not, then I strongly recommend it. if you are down for some kids on pcp making somethng unclassifiable, than this is your record. mix of some: jazz, rock, ethnic, metal, flamenco, tango, punk, funk, ... with poetic lyrics sung in spanish and english not your typical radio friendly band with pop songs about girls of the summer ... they are loud, complex and give you a feeling of being in an apocalyptic opera Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Iowa Posted July 8, 2005 Share Posted July 8, 2005 I keep hearing good things about them but still haven't gotten around to listening to any of their stuff. Doesn't John Frusciante and/or Flea play with them in a few songs or something? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rferry Posted July 8, 2005 Share Posted July 8, 2005 Like 'em. I think it's cool that they've been opening for so many different big acts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beetle Posted July 8, 2005 Share Posted July 8, 2005 I just listened to some samples in iTunes, and I like what I hear. Nice and prog, with just a tinge of Zeppelin. Also, I could be wrong, but I believe I heard the sound of coqu?s in one of the pieces. Now, that is obscure! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
catchoftheday Posted July 8, 2005 Author Share Posted July 8, 2005 half of the band is puerto rican so yes they got them coquis in there and to Iowa ... Flea played the whole first record, and parts of the second ... and John Frusceane has played some solo?s in both records Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IknowFeloRamirezIRL Posted July 8, 2005 Share Posted July 8, 2005 I saw them live at the Electric Factory in Philly, last month I think. Truly mind-blowing experience. This band is so talented its filthy - its like AJ's stuff but think musically. They really brought down the house, highly recommended :thumbup Their earlier stuff is great as well, one of the single most original and weird bands out there. Truly unique :o Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Passion Posted July 8, 2005 Share Posted July 8, 2005 I love them and have both discs. De-Loused in the Comatorium is a better CD then Fraces the Mute but both are top notch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hotcorner Posted July 10, 2005 Share Posted July 10, 2005 I bought their first album "De-Loused In The Comatorium" back when it came out. Very different stuff. Some so-so songs, but some very good. & yes as someone mentioned Flea played a few songs w/ them for the album. Nope definitely not your average pop band, but that can only be a good thing.
