i already made this post, but i am making it again, because we switched over to blogger. neat pete. this is the short version of that post.
my friend will has been talking to me for the past couple years about this band called minus the bear, and i kind of blew him off, like you sometimes just do, for whatever reason.
recently i got their albums, and MAN are they good. they are RIDICULOUS good. one of the guys is dave knudson from the band botch, whose other members are in these arms are snakes, and one of the other guys is matt bayles, whose production credits range from pretty girls make graves to pearl jam(?!?!?). they are some good solid indie rock, aided by amazing songwriting and a really pleasant prog leaning. they range from trip hoppy to distorted layer mayhem.
also, we saw the hot snakes' last ever san diego show the other night, and they are an amazing reminder of: rock. ill be posting about them soon.
