it has wikkid angry moments

this should be great! was lucky enough to catch them live in melbourne. couldn't really see what was going down onstage because they played behind a thick smoke screen, very much in the vein of a sunnn))) concert. but somewhere in the middle of the show a suitcase comes flying off the stage and strikes an audience member square in the face. blood and abuse ensue, and the suitcase is subsequently thrown back at stephen o malley, shattering his guitar string. bag goes back and forth a couple of times and then disappears from the scene. austrian actionism influence or just plain stupidity? i dunno, but that along with the sound itself had us all on edge. apparently a fire engine had also shown up at some point because the smoke machine was going full throttle. killer night :-)

saw them twice : fanstastic wall of sound (with or without flying suitcase). i have the demo version of IV. KTL must be one of my favorite band at the moment. i also recommend the sweedish silent masterpiece they scored too this year :
