Wow! Thank you for posting this, I hadn’t heard it before today. That was f’n amazing.
Been listening to these guys all week. Still have a problem getting into Specter... there’s some good songs on it (love Sell It & Firewalker), but I dunno. And I think it’s I never gave Wrong Creatures a chance. That album is really cool, sounds like they were trying something different and it worked.
Edit -
Right now I’d rank
Howl Baby 81 ST Devils Tattoo Wrong Creatures Take Them On Specter
I first saw them open for.....The Vines? I think at the Quest in MPLS. Circa 2002.
I had never heard of them and only went to see the Vines because that was another banger of a record at the time.
I almost left after BRMC because i knew the rest of the night was down hill.
Saw them numerous times over the following years. Best show I ever saw was at the Varsity Theater just after Howl was released.
I still love the band but there shows are less exciting. I think they are tired and bored. Or leah, the drummer, just doesnt have the groove that Jago had. Or a combo of the two.
The Vines on the Highly Evolved tour would've been great also. Never managed to catch them or BRMC. Saw The Strokes, Hives and White Stripes, but no Vines or BRMC.
Drove out to Madison, WI to see them at a theater. This was just at the end of college/just after college (memory is foggy) and visited friends in Madison. Huge college/party town. Got drunk as shit. Har Mar Superstar opened the show. This was in his prime fucked up/alcoholic party/weird stage. He opened the show and played for....i dont know....40 minutes.....he put a stage mic to a boombox as his backing band and danced/sang in his underwear.
Strokes came out and played like 30 minutes and left.
