I Love Godspeed You! Black Emperor

[echoSE7EN]

I remember buying Skinny Fists, but I couldn't pick out one song from anything else today. Man, my tastes have really changed in the past 10+ years.

'Miserable'? If you pay to see an 8-piece heavy instrumental chamber-rock band live you couldn't exactly have expected a fun-filled Al Yankovic set. Granted, 'fun' is hardly the first word that comes to mind when you describe one of their shows, but as a purely musical experience it doesn't get any better than Godspeed.

Worth waiting for.

I just bought tickets for me and my buddy....for a show in October. I`m stoked tho! This will be my first chance to see them live.

Same here. Saw them last night with some opening band that was so horrible, they literally played ONE NOTE for half an hour.

I was...ok with it, but after about an hour (they were still on the same song) we left and went across the street to see Ott, which was amazing. Godspeed wouldve been better if shrooms and chairs were provided.

Ott, OTOH, entertaining, groovy rasta-styled electronic mix with a full band. The Bass was killer, had some really wicked iPad rig running Lemur, very wubby envelopy an smooooth
