bradm Posted May 26, 2009 Report Share Posted May 26, 2009 I'm considering going to Zaphod Beeblebrox this Friday for Rock Plaza Central + The Murder Plans, and was wondering what people thought of RPZ. I'm listing to the tracks on their MySpace page, and like what I've heard so far, but wonder what they'll be like live.Aloha,Brad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NewRider Posted May 26, 2009 Report Share Posted May 26, 2009 I have seen them live twice and both times were great. Nice energy and fun songs.. I definitely look forward to seeing them again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jakis Posted May 26, 2009 Report Share Posted May 26, 2009 Great band. I have seen them a bunch of times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay Funk Dawg Posted May 26, 2009 Report Share Posted May 26, 2009 I got them booked at Come Together when it was at Izzy's - they have now done some big stuff and have had some great reviews by places like Pitchfork and NME. It has a Tom Waits feel to it sometimes, definitely worth checking out. Nice people too! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DBOC Posted May 26, 2009 Report Share Posted May 26, 2009 I've seen them a few times and they never disappoint. I really like them and can't wait to see them Friday. Highly recommended. Are We Not Horses is one great album. They did a great cover of Sexy Back at one show I saw awhile back Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AD Posted May 26, 2009 Report Share Posted May 26, 2009 the best description i can give is 'nasal' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deranger Posted May 26, 2009 Report Share Posted May 26, 2009 I saw them once, they were pretty cool. Interesting and different with some very unique orchestration and arrangements. However, I didn't recall the songwriting to be all that wonderful. And the lead singer made a joke about Jeff Healy dying (he had passed away the week before) and that just about made me want to heckle the shit out of them. But I restrained myself.
