Royal Trux are kicking my ass!

gmku · 08.29.2006, 10:51 AM

I've been playing Cats & Dogs almost daily for the past month, and I'm also really digging Veterans of Disorder.

HaydenAsche · 08.29.2006, 10:53 AM

Modest Mouse are kicking my ass. Lonesome Crowded West and A Long Drive have been in my cd player for weeks. I've listened to nothing but them really.

gmku · 08.29.2006, 10:54 AM

Is Modest Mouse anything like Royal Trux?

Toilet & Bowels · 08.29.2006, 10:54 AM

Absolutely not. Modest Mouse is like Built to Spill or something I guess. The early stuff is absolutely fantastic. I just wanted to fit in by saying something was kicking my ass.

gmku · 08.29.2006, 10:57 AM

Yeah, Twin Infinities is the one I keep hearing about. Have never seen it around here, though.

I actually bought then traded a Modest Mouse CD a few years ago. I was expecting something like the Pixies, and I just couldn't get into them.

HaydenAsche · 08.29.2006, 10:58 AM

Modest Mouse's first 3 records are almost like an entirely different band than the last 2. It's like Hot Hot Heat or something. Hot Hot Heat's first cd is fantastic but they changed the entire line-up and the second and third record are terrible.

I've never really listened to Royal Trux.

Toilet & Bowels · 08.29.2006, 11:13 AM

i'm often hesistant to recommend twin infinitives to people, because even though it is great it is one of the weirdest and most drug crazed records i've heard and is not indicative of the rest of their output, so i wouldn't want to scare people off their other stuff, which is more accessable.

jon boy · 08.29.2006, 11:15 AM

i like eccelarotor myself.

I have their two early self-titled CDs, the one with the bones on the cover and the black cover one. They're both excellent in their own right, even though they're less accessible.

Toilet & Bowels · 08.29.2006, 11:20 AM

well give twin infinitives a whirl then

wax · 08.29.2006, 04:10 PM

i think its pretty rare, but really worth the hunt.

I was going to recommend the s/t one; the one with Junkie Nurse on it but it seems like you got there already!

nomadicfollower · 08.29.2006, 07:49 PM

Heard enough about them to where I should care more and give them a listen, but I haven't.

yes! i was just listening to that.

i really like thank you right now. a night to remember is the best off it. fun song.

wax · 08.30.2006, 04:18 AM

im pretty sure dogs of love must be OOP, so if someone can confirm that, ill put it up on the board as its a gem.

khchris(original) · 08.31.2006, 07:35 AM

TWIN INFINITIVES is ok, but the S/T "skulls & crossbones" is the gem! "Sometimes", "air", "bloodflowers", "hallucinations", "junkie nurse", "sun on the run", for a die hard rtx fan of 15 years(i own the original "hero/zero" 7-inch!!!), i have to say that was their best album top to bottom with no mediocre songs. Cats & Dogs is my second favorite, but the 7-inchers are incredible! if you can find them, get SHOCKWAVE RIDER & LAWMAN as well as the Dogs of Love EP(with CHAIRMAN BLOW and CLEVELAND). Thank You was ok, i think they really lost alot of their greatness when they went with the "rock band format". i think they lost alot of "intimacy" that they were so great with in the earlier albums. i do have to say jenifer carrying on as "rtx" with that album they put out really drags their legacy through the mud, but i'm glad NMH can still put out amazing music to this day!

baby bulldog · 08.31.2006, 07:57 AM

And well they should kick your ass.Royal Trux have a remarkable catalouge of great tunes filled with humour,noise,psychedlia and pure chug-boogie rock spirit.The proof is in the pudding.
