Thunderbirds are Now! live Reviews
Above photo of Thunderbirds are Now! from the Knitting Factory show on May 12th. I posted three more pictures that night. Here are some reviews from across the Internet…
“This show was perfect. Perfect venue (dark, dank, low-ceilinged basement), perfect audience (sardine-packed math rockers and tight-pants-hardcore kids), perfect length (30 minutes), perfect temperature (tropical), perfect smell (body odor + beer), perfect band.”
– Thunderbirds Are Now! / Knitting Factory Old Office / May 12, 2005
“Okay so these guys were fucking awesome, really good live show, because they play like its the last song for every song”

“Before an audience that could not have been over 50 heads, TAN! plied open our mouths and shoved down ear-splitting hooks, well-placed synth beeps and blips, and one of the most entertaining stage shows I’ve seen at the Ottobar.”

“They were pretty energetic, with echoes of Pixies, new wave(via the cool keyboards), and maybe just a bit of the Detroit garage rock aesthetic. One thing I realized about Sneaky Dees during the Thunderbirds Are Now! set was how spring-y the floor is in the venue.”

“All of the guys in the band go nuts, but the keyboardist / vocalist Scott Allen goes completely bonkers. He went into the crowd a few times and did the spastic dance against the crowd. It was awesome.”

“They’ll probably play in a larger place, to more people, then. Tonight though, they’ve managed to remind me what live music should be, to make me feel that Music itself is doing just fine, and I can’t wait for more people to feel this way.”
