WR Joined: Feb 27, 2006 Posts: 3832 netherlands	Posted on Sep 13 2007 03:13 AM nice. good to see them with a drummer too, I saw them a year or so ago , and it was just the two string people with a drumcomputer. huge disappointment I might add, though the guy is a good player, and they come across like very cool people. it's just the drumcomputer that sucked all the fun out the treble spankers played The Model first I think, I bet the MC took it form there, they play popcorn as well which was also done by the treble spankers. — Rules to live by #314: "When in Italy, if the menu says something's grilled, don't assume it is." https://www.facebook.com/The-Malbehavers-286429584796173/ Top
LHR Joined: Aug 23, 2006 Posts: 2123 The jungle	Posted on Sep 13 2007 04:00 AM I used to play The Model as a surf song for years. It lends itself well to the form. I used to really dig Snakefinger's version of it. One day, back in the 1990s, I realized that the tune itself was just not that interesting. So I stopped playing it. (But for Kraftwerk it worked perfectly, they had that sort of "flat" sound.) I didn't know anyone else covered it. I will have to see how it differs from the way we used to do it. Messer Chups are really something, though, aren't they? — SSIV Top
Mustard_Man Joined: Jan 16, 2007 Posts: 100 England	Posted on Sep 13 2007 04:12 AM we do the model from time to time - this version has a few more surf guitar "tricks of the trade" in than ours. In fact ours has exactly 2:- tempo and volume... I am in love with their bass player she is so very many times more attractive than our bass player, although oddly their hair is of similar length..... Perhaps Hugh is some kind of cross dressing vampire hottie at weekends? Surely not! Top

That being said, Zombie Girl is SO frickin hot that it doesn't matter what she plays. — Shawn Martin http://www.drummerman.net http://www.youtube.com/GKacedrummerman http://www.facebook.com/drumuitar Top

I used to dig Snakefinger so much back in the day, I'm now going to scour youtube and check out all his video footage. — Danny Snyder "With great reverb comes great responsibility" - Uncle Leo Playing keys and guitar with Combo Tezeta Formerly a guitarist in The TomorrowMen and Meshugga Beach Party Latest surf project - Now That's What I Call SURF Top
LHR Joined: Aug 23, 2006 Posts: 2123 The jungle	Posted on Nov 04 2007 07:41 AM Danny: I was a big fan of Snakefinger. Reminds me that I used to use any one of a number of Residents records to clear the hangers-on out of my house parties back in the day. Eskimo worked like a charm at 4 AM. I remember seeing and being just blown away by Snakefinger and The Vestal Virgins at a small industrial art space. Here is a full concert video from the same tour I saw, right down the road from you. Maybe you were there! http://www.archive.org/details/Snakefinger_and_the_Vestal_Virgins_05-23-1987-Berkeley_Square Then I learned that he had passed away suddenly shortly after. What a shame because he was starting to get really good and I think his collaboration with Eric Drew Feldman really helped his sound. (Veering ever more off-topic but I have similar thoughts about Frank Black and suddenly wonder what happened to Eric Drew Feldman?) Anyhow, later I got some of his tunes on CD and still put them on once in awhile. My wife hates it. — SSIV Top
DannySnyder Joined: Mar 02, 2006 Posts: 11053 Berkeley, CA	Posted on Nov 04 2007 09:12 AM bizarre 80's bands. Thanks LHR, I remember hearing about that show after the fact, learning about the Residents and Snakefinger a couple years after. I was friends with the Eskimo guys, having seen them numerous times. I also was digging the Clubfoot Orchestra at the time. My band at the time was in the same sphere of bizarre musicality. Now I've gone mainstream and play instro surf, go figure — Danny Snyder "With great reverb comes great responsibility" - Uncle Leo Playing keys and guitar with Combo Tezeta Formerly a guitarist in The TomorrowMen and Meshugga Beach Party Latest surf project - Now That's What I Call SURF Top

I dunno...it gets a little weird going to a show and seeing 50 girls with the same hair, clothes and makeup.
