was at a friends house last night and we were bored as hell so we started flipping thru his tivo checking out all the shit he meant to watch but never did... one of those things was the henry rollins show... so we started watching.

eventually we came across this bands performance:


i was amazed!

anyone heard of these guys?

i kinda wanna download everything they've ever done.

gypsy punk! i dig it!

children with angels

I thought they were pretty big - or at least alternative big (maybe moreso in the UK). They're very joyous. I presume you've come across this beautiful track?:

Yeah, these guys are pretty damned huge and have been for a few years now.

For me they lost their appeal when they decided to be Madonna whores

Are you saying that because of ?
"As a matter of fact I only work with the feeling of something magical, something seemingly significant. And to keep it magical I don't want to know the story involved, I just want the hypnotic effect of it somehow seeming significant without knowing why." - Len Lye

ok, i got it. i guess i should have known these guys were "huge". rk made that clear in his own condescending way.

but what i really wanna know is if i should check out more of their music. are they REALLY good?! or was that performance just a fluke?

help me out xixaxers. don't make me drudge thru a bunch of stolen music to find the gems.

No, that performance is pretty representative - if you like that, you'll probably like them in general. In fact, the main downside of the band is that they're quite samey, so you probably only need to get one album, and that album should probably be Gypsy Punks: Underdog World Strike.

Re-reading, I can see how it can come off as condescending, but I was just replying to Children W/Angels.
I wasn't trying to be a dick.  I didn't discover the Beatles until I was 29.
