Actually, my favorite band end of. I dunno if it's as clear cut as you say man. Anyway I really dig cinemechanica too, and I don't know where I'm going with all of this but...um, yeah.ryannoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4705089269270410469.post-70683753561240853262010-08-24T12:09:12.825-05:002010-08-24T12:09:12.825-05:00They were doing the 2-drummer thing back in 05.

I saw them 2 or 3 times in a short span around then (my old band Textbook played with them), and I think they did it 2 of the 3 times. <br /><br />And yeah, their regular drummer is a monster for sure.cdbhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15453658907757443743noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4705089269270410469.post-23208886022837018142010-08-24T09:48:21.366-05:002010-08-24T09:48:21.366-05:00cool band. swell guys. being currently located in ...cool band. swell guys. being currently located in athens, i have seen these fellas fairly often, although not that often recently. never saw them with dual(duel) drummers, may be a recent thing. or a "special" thing, as they have been known to "mix it up" on occasion. anyway, i have a couple of conclusions while i agree with most of what graysome has said, for i too am "oldz". this is what you would normally refer to as a "good" band. they are excellent musicians and swell fellas as stated. however, this shit is just too fucking much. i mean, it's alot. it's alot to take in, it's alot to digest, and most times it just feels like too god damn much. i have never heard their albums, nor will i probably listen to this one, but live they are just a huge fucking mouthful and i eventually have to leave and then say to the old doorguy "fucking hell the kids todays and their musics and musicianship." for some reason when i first saw them they reminded me of braid but in hyper drive. anyway, their drummer (not sure if he's still in the band) was(is) fucking amazing. you went to go see the band because you wanted to watch the drummer play. and that is all i have to say this morning.proven hollowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16927472315857327819noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4705089269270410469.post-29407171857541959332010-08-24T08:19:02.786-05:002010-08-24T08:19:02.786-05:00This is a great record.

They were playing with two drummers for a bit (maybe they still are, but I'm also old and now live in the suburbs, behind an iron curtain of uncool that no information about local or semi-local bands can penetrate), and it was a sight to behold.cdbhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15453658907757443743noreply@blogger.com
