i JUST started getting into them, actually due to all the love they get on this site. they really are a great band!

I'm a newly converted fan myself, also largely due to this site.
And I'm deeply indebted to all who may have had a part in that because they've become one of my current favorite bands.

"Sonic Bullets" was my first foray into their music and it's outstanding.
The new "As The Dark Wave Swells", though, takes things to a whole new level. The songs are so well written its almost cinematic.

There are also some excellent live cuts on The U-Toob that are definitely worth checking out. Like this one...

Great stuff!

There are no wrong notes, just some questionable choices.

I think the songs from the new album that they did on that garaza show are done so much better live, more energy.. either way its great stuff though

They are so very good live, they play pretty much what you hear on the record plus the live vibe factor.
Often Dalibor playing dead pan with the occasional empty spaces where Dinko fills in, Dalibor cocking one ear while he waits for Dinko's return fire.
The stereo effect is wonderful.

not trying to sound sexist.

But I love to watch Lada play bass,
soooo cool, and smoooth.
and it helps that is has a blonde neck on it.

I'm still excited about seeing the Bambis so if i'm getting too gushy please someone tell me to shut up!

Jeff, on the night we saw the band, due to the lighting you couldn't help but noticed Lada, she really enjoys herself onstage.
She plays bass exceptionally well, sometimes smoothly, sometimes hammering and shaking the guitar violently.
Half the time she isn't even watching what she's doing, too busy checking her band mates or scanning the audience for any signs of fun.

I was at the same show as crumble and they were really good. I was impressed by Dinko tbh - he was in a zone of his own most of the time, totally immersed in the music they were making.

Until those girls jumped on him.

He seemed to cope pretty well with that, though

I think you might have missed seeing Lada's right foot assisting Dinko off the stage.

Nice one Whorehay...

Cuz of this thread I've made a shuffle playlist of them and an listening to it over and over.

Lastnight I was trying to play along with Intensity, holy cow how does he pick so fast!!!

The first time i heard the words Bambi Molesters i instantly thought of the Sex Pistols "Who Killed Bambi?".
I remember some "Who Killed Bambi?" adverts and news from the New Musical Express pre 1980.
So when i saw Backstage Pass DVD which mentioned Post-Punk, the Jam, Gang of Four and the New Musical Express i became intrigued.
Apparently Bambi was the name of a girl they knew.

Will, from the horse's mouth:

Can you explain once and for all why you chose the name the Bambi Molesters? In retrospect, is it something you wish you could have changed? And do you think it has hurt you, or maybe actually helped you? (It’s definitely memorable!)

Dalibor: A long time ago, I had a friend who fell in love with a girl nicknamed Bambi (he gave her the nickname). One night, after a few beers, I was talking to Dinko about this friend and how he follows this girl around acting like an idiot, and Dinko called him a Bambi molester. As we both read the "Hate" comic at that time, this sounded like an appropriate name for the band. So, there were no animals involved. There were moments when we really wanted to change the name, especially after the second album, but in the end we decided to stick with it. Some people like it, some don't.

Ask Dalibor.
Alternatively, go to HangNine and follow the link to Interviews With The Stars, where you'll find an old interview Dalibor did for me.
Beware, though, since it's not as interesting a story as you might hope.

Thanks for the link John,
didn't know you had done that.

Love this quote:

As you can tell, if you've read it all, it's pretty old. I must get around to doing some newer interviews with the stars!
