afro poppa Posted May 19, 2006 Report Share Posted May 19, 2006 Looking forward to seeing these guys at CTMF...hey StoneMtn, are ya coming to Come Together? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StoneMtn Posted May 19, 2006 Report Share Posted May 19, 2006 (edited) Not this time around, my friend. The 50-hour drive will be prohibitive.EDIT TO ADD: I didn't mean the above comment to be sarcastic. I really could be in Ontario at that time, as I do visit pretty regularly, so it's not unreasonable for Afro poppa to ask. Just not happening this time. Anyway, I didn't want Afro poppa to think I was being flippant; and if I were in town I'd be there for sure and would insist on meeting up with Afro poppa.

MarcO Posted May 19, 2006 Report Share Posted May 19, 2006 well then, if Luke says so, I am sorry I missed them last night. Not a joke. Luke knows what's up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dave-O Posted May 19, 2006 Report Share Posted May 19, 2006 I've always been puzzled by Kung's love of Sloco. Don't get me wrong, I think they're good band, always a great time, and if you look up any of my comments about them on this board you'll see that I've spoken highly of them and encouraged people to check them out.But to me, they've got a bit of a typical jamband sound and their songwriting is a touch pedestrian. Doesn't seem to jive with Luke's usual tastes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StoneMtn Posted May 19, 2006 Report Share Posted May 19, 2006 Really?I really don't even think of these guys as a jamband at all. I consider their sound to be unique, modern, and fresh.I don't know what you meant about "pedestrian" songwriting, but I can tell you that the words to "You Can't Change Me" amuse the hell out of this skanc, every time.

dave-O Posted May 19, 2006 Report Share Posted May 19, 2006 Hey, I just said that I liked them. I go see them all the time. I just didn't expect them to be up Luke's alley. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StoneMtn Posted May 19, 2006 Report Share Posted May 19, 2006 I didn't suggest that you don't like them. I was just surprised that you think of them as a typical jamband, with pedestrian songwriting. That was all that I commented on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alexis Posted May 19, 2006 Report Share Posted May 19, 2006 you should be really sorry you missed out marco especially since it was your bday and all (happy day by the way)....dave played brilliantly and slow coaster did a nice 2 set show that had all 12 of us in attendance dancing and head bopping Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zero Posted May 20, 2006 Report Share Posted May 20, 2006 their songwriting is a touch pedestrianThat's not a bad way of putting it. They're not smarty pants lyricists a la Steve Malkmus or something. What they have in spades is HEART, they have this innate sort of musicality irrespective of genre. They used to play these big mushroom fueled beer busts in NS and they told me about some acid party thing in PEI once (maybe with some old Leary types or associates) - they always struck me as digging deep into the collective well of the acid mind (in a good way).

dave-O Posted May 20, 2006 Report Share Posted May 20, 2006 What they have in spades is HEART Can't argue with that. The other intangible they have, which is sorely lacking in this scene, is charisma. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
