Grinderman Opinion
 

Hey. I've heard of the band grinderman and found out they are going to be playing near me. I've never listened to their music or anything. Are they any good? Should I go see them?

ummmm buy a ticket immediately

What are they like? Tickets don't go on sale for a couple more days by the way.

Grinderman is coming to your town?
"You gotta run, run, run, run, run
Take a drag or two"
no, seriously
you should go and see them, they are ace and
by ace i mean fucking ace.

eh, if you can go; they are good, not extraordinaire.

do you like nick cave???

I've never heard any Nick Cave or Birthday Party stuff. Always has been on my list just more towards the bottom.

well you should go, you might discover something you like

I just found out Slint is playing Spiderland just a couple days after that and I'm seeing SY play Daydream the same week so now I might see Slint instead since I can't afford to see all the concerts and be able to keep my job. I don't know, still haven't decided yet.

Fucking go and see Grinderman!

Bearing in mind how much Grinderman tickets cost, I'd go to their myspace (www.myspace.com/grinderman) and have a listen to what's on there before shelling out any money.

I'm seeing them next week.

Thanks. Listening to No Pussy Blues right now. Pretty damn good actually.

At least half of the album is REALLY good, the other half isn't on the same level, but it's till more than simple fillers in a row. Guess they're a great live band, too.

Good stuff.

Grinderman is my favourite album of this year (for the moment !) It's a great noisy-melodic music with a weird violin ! You can notice that the drummer is called Jim Sclavunos...

Grinderman is one of my fave new LPs. It rocks.

grinderman rocks and remember thisis nick cave playing guitar only one month after first picking one up!

go to both slint and grinderman............

yeah, just skip sonic youth :D

re: grinderman: I'm a huge Nick Cave fan, and I was a bit disappointed with the Grinderman album as it's not a regular Nick Cave album, but perhaps I should take it another try.
But it's Cave and Warren Ellis of Dirty Three too, so it will be a good show for sure

edit: for samples of the full album check out www.grinderman.com

For real?
That's messed up!

I think it's the best damn thing Cave has done since Your Funeral My Trial, which was mid '80s. I wasn't even expecting to like it, but it blew me away to hear him rocking that hard again.
