The New SuttonBeresCuller: A Review.
@12 Well, actually all the DCFC I've ever heard sounds like christian rock to me.
So yeah, I don't like them either.
nonetheless, You seem awfully personally invested in their art, are you one of the artists?
art is personal, you either like it, or don't. think it's smart, or dumb. it speaks to you in some way, or doesn't.
sorry you take, MY criticism so personally. It's just art. I'm not the only one with these thoughts, I'm just the only one to say them without hiding behind anonymity.
I think they're kinda lame. even this stuff, just seems...old, done before, not new.
It must suck to be an artist in Seattle, but my artists friends who make a living don't seem as frustrated and exhausted in the way that Jen thinks SBC are.
That's all. Geez. I'm not even an art critic. Why take me to task. You couldn't even post non-anonymously.....

I'll go on record. I don't like them. I think the first show I saw was at Consolidated works. It had a box in which you could up-skirt a stripper, and a little factory that made wooden books (this was awhile ago, so the details are iffy, but I do remember thinking, "Not much here.") Then they did a dumb street food cart at the Genius awards that were held at SAM. Once again, not very exciting.
They just never caught fire for me. This new exhibition, especially the first two pieces described here, just sound like artists whining.
All you anon commenters can now flame me because I don't know anything about art.

Goodbye 80's. Hello future..
i was in the uk in '89. post c-86. but all those bands which during c-86 were nearly unknown, were by '89 full on indie sensations, many having been featured on John Peel, etc....
i got home, Fox Base Alpha in '90, then the wave of indie/house/dance (soup dragons, primals, candy flip, farm, la's) screamadelica came out around 91 sometime, even though loaded came out first and was featured on a mix one of my friends sent to me from the uk.
remember, spokane was like a full year or two behind and finding vinyl and singles was nearly impossible there. I would get letters from my friends and go to the only indie shop around, 4000 Holes, beg the owner to order copies. He was very dubious of my taste.
in all seriousness, fox base beta is an absolute awakening. brilliant work re-imagining some of the duller songs, and opening up new meaning in the more pop ones.
