funky funky funky and loud loud loud. went to see them in november and i tell you they are gonna be a hard act to follow; possibly the best concert experience of my life so far. so much energy and they don't take themselves too seriously. frontman is so not what you'd expect but he fucking rocks !!

really loud and exhilerating, crowd full of energy. i was next to the stage and Brian (vocals) handed me (sweaty) a can of water and said âgreat jobâ with the reverb still on his mic
iâd never listened to them before the gig and rarely do now because i think they need to be a live experience. hope i can see them again!

i saw them last week and it was mind-blowing showmanship teetering performance art. also jorge elbretch joined in on guitar which ruled. thick crazy bass & big vocals - blends 80s sounds of siouxsie and the banshees, yello, and gang of four

caught them during the deceiver tour back in 2019. I remember thinking they were good, but nothing crazy. Their current tour has shown so much improvement itâs insane. i always love seeing the same band perform a number of times over the years because you get to watch them evolve in real time. i donât know how to describe the difference other than imagine if there was a âsickââ knob on the audio equipment that they had turned up medium back in the day & now had fully cranked up. Played incredibly tight & integrated a really involved visual element (a lot of experimental video stuff).
TBH the video was cool but kind of detracted from the experience of watching them perform. I felt like the story they were trying to tell was drenched in this above it all every-direction critique of American empire via this post-ironic rendition of conspiracy-culture. donât get me wrong, it was cool and funny at points. But sometimes you can have something thatâs funny and cool & still have it subtract from the overall intended effect. Like I get it youâre very smart and very funny and youâre really showing off right now, but youâre distracting me! Youâre overloading me! Being even more honest, I should probably take my own advice on this issue LOL. I wouldnât even necessarily recommend that they change anything about the show. I guess itâs better to be doing a lot and err on the side of maximalism while saying something unique and cool than to play it safe! Sorry if this is rambling, Iâm just trying to collect my thoughts.
But yeah they played great nontheless. Had a great time, theyâre a really good band. wholeheartedly recommend. Favorite songs were: Like before you were born, horsehead, Blankenship (guess which diiv album is my favorite), brown paper bag (riff ripped straight from MBV and I loved it), raining on your pillow, doused(!)
I didnât take any pictures because I was living in the moment :^)

if you start zooming in on a pattern, and the pattern doesn't seem to get more simple as you close in, there's a very good chance you're looking at a fractal shape. my new computer hobby is going on google earth (clean setting - no borders or labels) and zooming into random places to see if i can find these patterns. and they are everywhere. in rivers, mountains, deserts, forests, coastlines and on and on. its genuinely stunning, and a little bit frightening, how the same shapes appear over and over again. the beating heart of iterative processes is plastered all over the globe at every scale. from above, the shape of a forest can look like a leaf, or a neuron, or a blood vessel.
great place to have a zoom is at the bottom of tibet, where theres a sharp cutoff between the icy mountain range and the grassy forests of nepal and bhutan. pic below is of the nile river in southern egypt. happy travels everyone
