Gito Gito Hustler

Damn!! Just like 1978!  Except they're girls and they're kinda hot and and the lead singer plays a Rick - move over Sushana Hoffs - you've been replaced!

    WT*!?!?!  I feel like my ears have just been raped   What is it that I have just watched/heard - performance art?  what?  Am I getting that old and out of touch?

Am I getting that old and out of touch?   

Back in the old days we preferred the gentle vocal stylings of Yoko Ono. This modern stuff is harsh compared to her crooning on "Don't Worry Kyoko".

Cool, avant/noise rock/music has been around since John Cage. Just not something that's radio friendly.

Hurra Torpedo- Rush inspired?

[Nocturnal]

I still like this band a lot. Uwe posted a link to them way back at one of the Pit's and I went and bought some of their stuff. Plus the bass player plays an Gibson RD copy that looks pretty hot IMHO.

Dir En Grey

I like Hurra Torpedo - they've got an interesting appoach to music  .  The first one just wasn't my cup o' tea  

Dir En Grey





I liked these guys too - is the chick that with white RD copy that we've been seeing from the neck down here?  Can't really see her in the vids

Hurra Torpedo

Nice, tight kick sound.  That's it - I'm buying an ice box!

That chick is a guy. Although the entire band used to look like little Japanese girls a few years ago!

Dir en Grey or, say, Einstürzende Neubauten or early John Cage'ish Velvet Underground are about as much "performance content" as I can take if I want to listen to music repeatedly. A little industrial/noise is ok. If it's more I can perhaps dig it at a one-off performance, but it's nothing that would revisit my CD player. But then that is why it's called performance art.

I liked Laurie Anderson - are Herr Reed and her still an item? - but then her stuff was pretty sophisticated with light and shade and not so much onslaught throughout.

:-[Well, all I saw was bass player and hot - I know that "RD" registered somewhere in there though

I guess I was still hung up on Gito Gito Hustler
