PAPER CUT OUT/ THE KILLING SPREE/ YAKUZA - Belfast, Saturday night (2 Viewers)

[oh shit]

if anyone cares... gig has moved to the Errigle Inn due to licensing hassles. headache. think my eye is going to burst. it'll be spectacular.

wat r yakuza like nowadays? i saw them in the music centre back in the aul treasure island days and they werent the best. thats a good 3 years ago now though....

 

[Super Dexta]

A lot of people weren't the best in the treasure island days... Like anyone who worked for robert stevenson

 

[Super Dexta]

And I think yakuza are good for an indie band.

 

[Cormcolash]

Theres a punk or hardcore band called Yakuza as well I think, from the states. I keep meaning to point that out.

 

[LamStock]

i heard a track on Cormac Battles show and it kicked ass, Yakuza = good

 

[Cormcolash]

Cormac Battle is actually named after me.

 

[oh shit]

only indie in the sense that they do absolutely everything for themselves... they recorded an album last year but can't afford to release it. they did a uk tour too and they're much tighter than they were even a year ago nevermind three...
their new material sounds a lot like the minutemen in parts, moving away from the sonic youth sorta sound they had before- now its all weird times and strange juxtaposed riffs with weird dual vocal interplay... its brilliant.
one of my all time favourite bands ever.

the american Yakuza is ex members of American Heritage and is some fucked up metal with sax (if i recalls correct)

[Super Dexta]

I totally read that wrong at first

 

[Alan Remorse]

where are yakuza from? theyre not irish are they? cos a band that sounds like the minutemen and sonic youth sounds pretty cool

you are correct. they're on century media.

american heritage/foe/art of burning water in limerick. fuck sake. more band members than gig goers.
and then you hear of a load of ppl into isis/neurosis around limerick. american heritage / isis / neurosis not too far removed if you ask me. am heritage are probably dirtier than isis though.

they're from DC... Dungannon and Coalisland. Based in Belfast. Played in Dublin a few times too, with Large Mound and stuff. The drummer occasionally puts out Nova Wreck zine which is always very nicely done (cos he takes two years to do it). i think the site is www.scream4yakuza.co.uk including mp3 of 'everyone thinks im a dinosaur' which is old but still awesome, it's not one that you'd compare to minutemen tho, that's more recent. aw shucks i love em.

ps - the yakuza i was talking about is from chicago. the yakuza i've never heard is from belfast (i think). yakuza is a pretty shit name for a band. MAFIAS would be way cooler. or just FIRES

 

[Alan Remorse]

yakuza reminds me way too much of Yazoo.. horrible cancer giving stuff

[Super Dexta]

it was 13 people in the poxy sugar club and i don't even think the camenbert quartet played afterwards! it was a bit silly but oh well, but the bands were deadly and that's all that matters. i was seriously gonna get my mosh on but damo was all fucked up and had to sit down and he harshed the whole thing for me...
