I'm listening to Modey right now.

Starting with this bore fest. I still revisit this from time to time expecting to unearth some type of substance that I’ve not previously noticed. Many notches below the level of energy of thunder and lightning. And way less creative than the curious city.

I somewhat dig “The Bear Comes...” and “Ice Fields” but that’s pretty much it here.

What in the ****? Two melt banana posts within three pages?

Where the **** were you when I lived in Pittsburgh?

Boston. And I figured posting that Boris/Merzbow album would have elicited this response, surprised it took this long. Real talk though, MxBx just doesn't do it for me live anymore as a two piece.

This dude is originally from MA, if memory serves, so I’m not sure if he’ll know those bands...

Plus, I actually don’t have any Aus Rotten - think they got purged at some point for some (broke) reason.

Plenty of Modey Lemon though....in fact....

You are correct on both counts. No clue who they are, but I'll fix that soon.

Aus Rotten is pgh rite of passage type **** man

Maybe, maybe (in my current state) most comparable to something like Toxic Narcotic? Probably a better example but that’s the best I can do at the moment.

Modey Lemon was super crafty proto-punk garage stuff for a minute...then things started to happen for them. Now their drummer plays with John Dwyer.
 
People know Boris. People don’t know Melt Banana.
The hell you say. I was listening to MxBx, Boredoms, Incapacitants, Hijokaidan, Ruins, and on and on long before I knew of Boris. Seriously....I'm not trying to be sarcastic...just a little (a lot) drunk since I went to whiskey after I finished posting in here earlier. Both bands always sold out early in Boston so I guess I assumed both were quite well known.

Well, that’s interesting. Love perspectives. From mine, Boris has had a following that spans many genres - punk, metal, stoner, popular (due to many many many favorable reviews over the years, deservedly so). I fell in love with melt banana when they opened for someone (can’t remember who) but they were never, and still aren’t, in the same category popularity wise IMO. Post a poll. Guarantee out of every ten who have heard of one or the other, it’s 9 for Boris and 1 for MxBx
