So, has anyone listened to their music? For more than 30 seconds?
Their music is really, really, really really, really, really... BAD.

It's so bad that I have to mention it again.

I really love this image. Love, love, the vagina meat lock look. And the recycled 90's Hairy Mary dresses, the 70's down-do's, the earnest, angry looks. Love.

Hey BeatM... I got through at least 90 seconds before I came to the same conclusion! Nothing that a tuning machine and a few tears of practice won't cure though.

@11: "a few tears of practice..."

Is that tears as in "tears of a clown" or tears as in "tears in the curtain"? An important distinction.

I don't know, they aren't my thing, but they aren't technically any worse than half the sleepy indie bands that people seem to love.

It's funny 'cause she said the idiots out themselves in the comment section when talking about Chasity Belt, and...voila! Annie Fucking Truscott FOREVER!

@4 - Yes, they are certainly not the tightest band around, but sometimes that doesn't matter. It reminds me of what people said about Pavement in the '90's - they were right, but I still loved to listen to them.

@4 and @11 I don't know what the hell you're talking about. Music isn't just about being the best at your instrument. If it was we would all be listening to Joe Satriani and I would have to kill myself.

Sloppy simplicity can work and be charming, but this was not the case when I saw them at the Wire show. Maybe they need to consider a new drummer. Kinda felt like I was at a junior high talent show.
