I love all the Kraftwerk and Chrome influences, the spaztick sci-fi angle and the overall frenetic horror of it all. I've seen these guys live a few times in Seattle, last time was at a Shellac show, I wore my lab coat to the show and the singer asked, from stage, if I had any pills. Ha! These guys made mince-meat outta the crowd, especially the confused hipsters who were there to be seen because Albini has huge indi cred (and whome most hipsters have probably never sat down and given an honest listen to Big Black or Rape man). SFS fit the perfect blend of what I love about music. Looking forward to the new efforts.Nick the Hathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05774213160591844275noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5127671115713357023.post-78248857051530101042010-03-31T19:34:12.238-07:002010-03-31T19:34:12.238-07:00Great site.

Using Moog Liberation keyboards at that time was a definite anomaly. Their records were only surpassed by their live sound. So much volume, you felt them in addition to hearing them. Your discography is missing the Gun Court 7 inch. Two untitled songs, not sure who the line-up was on this, but I bought it after Law of Ruins was already out.<br />Saw them in October 2009 with the new line-up and they were fantastic. They wisely chose to focus on the 2 new releases, with only a nod to the last 3 studio albums in their set. Rick's guitar playing is percussive, uniquely his style, but still managing to sound like 6FS. The 2 new albums are brilliant and should be hunted down.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5127671115713357023.post-75585667324900567022009-10-27T12:10:13.748-07:002009-10-27T12:10:13.748-07:00Wow.

David Yow got pissed at the crowd because they barely moved a bone during 6 Fingers set. <br /><br />Never even occur to me to look for their rarities. Should check it out.

Being from Maine, there were few bands in the North East in the mid nineties to get excited about and 6FS were it.<BR/>I'd go see them every time they played Boston, which was great as they brought up their own sound guy and loaded their set with dub FX. And the bass was DEEP.<BR/><BR/>I remember (attempting to do some) talking to a sweaty John Maclean at the Middle East with the idea that we'd bond over the greatness of the Roland GR-707 synth guitar (all over Paranormalized) and being surprised by the trapped animal look he gave me - HAWHAW.<BR/><BR/>Anyway, I was positive they were going to blow up - people just needed to hear them, right? So I tried to get them booked in Portland, but absolutely NO clubs would take them (and I had about as much pull and sway as you could) it was depressing (and the new Arab On Radar were going to open!). In fact, it was the final straw and helped me decide to split town.<BR/><BR/>I moved to Atlanta and when 6FS rolled through town in support of Law Of Ruins they played at the club I worked at (Echo Lounge - 700 capacity) to 12 people including the 5 staffers. On top of this, they had hired Alex Minoff (Weird War / Golden) to replace the junked out John MacLean. This was a terrible move: at every possible moment, Alex would throw in these blues licks that just clashed with the overall tone the band was going for. It sucked.<BR/><BR/>Then 'Dance-Punk' hit and I realized that they couldn't have gone too far anyway - Six Finger were always more about the dissonance and far less about the disco.<BR/><BR/>They were awesome for the time!<BR/>"There's Trouble In The Monkey House!"Marshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01273147992763849185noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5127671115713357023.post-30019517997243633742008-11-10T23:16:00.000-08:002008-11-10T23:16:00.000-08:00Awesome Mark!
