I really like this album and I thought they were pretty awesome when I saw them a few weeks ago w/ Ocean. The thing about putting on the masks after soundcheck is a nonissue to me. Seriously, three dudes wearing t shirts and hoods is not scary regardless of where they put their masks on. No matter how they do it, it’s always going to be cartoonish.

Sound-checking isn’t tacky. Being normal dudes soundchecking and then pulling on your executioner’s masks and acting all spooky and forboding is tacky or funny in a Spinal Tap-ish way which I’m sure they did not intend, they could have at least wandered backstage or to the men’s room and then come back. Like I said, showmanship 101, just ask yourself WWGWARD?

How is sound checking your gear tacky?? Isn’t that what just about every single band that isn’t big enough to have a road crew have to do?

Isn’t it frustrating when a band has the raw materials to make fascinating music, but can’t figure out how to put it all together? I thought the band had some promise when I heard them on the Kayo Dot split, but that promise hasn’t been realized yet…
