chairlift claimed they had a "car accident"

rumor was it was bullshit.

ninja sonik just overslept. they're partiers.

chairlift really was in a car accident, and ninjasonik had their record release show the night before

not what I heard re: chairlift

what is this hipster bullshit?

hipster bullshit eh?

Knyfe Hyts are the dudes from Ex Models. I think they've earned the right to dress in whatever ridiculous way they wish.

the ex-who? all i hear is hipster.

what did you hear about chairlift? i hope it wasn't "we didn't want to play such an early slot" because some people (ahem) spent over an hour on a train rushing over to catch them in time.

as if you would spend less time on the train if you came later in the day??

jeez, what's happened to adam duritz?

It is truly amazing to me how far a gimmick will take bands in NYC these days. what a joke.

Jesus, what a bunch of losers. I actually feel sorry for the 20 people standing around with their arms crossed listening to this shit. What a good way to waste an afternoon.

8:40 is a grinchy grinch! yes you are! oh yes you are1 you are a little grinchy winchy winchy poo!!

Knyfe Hyts are a party band, boys.

You aren't going to hurt their feelings by insults.

They ain't all that serious!

that said, you get baked and listen to "Smoke the Milk" and tell me it doesn't change your world!

3:36. yes, that was what I heard

20 people? try over a thousand!

Anyone that drinks PBR is alright with me.

over a thousand idiots! Makes one realize that if you take the same ratio and apply it to the country, it's little wonder we have Bush for two terms. Yaaay! Keep going to shows and staying dumb! yaay!

9:12 - hah! spat coffee on monitor.

ex-models were an awful band, so this looking as bad as ex-models used to sound does not surprise me.

sounds like 10:02 was throwing a competing show that day! sucks to be you!

10:02 and 10:04... your posts don't even make sense by the low standards of Brookyn V comments. Real head scratchers.

Congratulations on achieving a heretofor unknown anti-zen state of humorless content-free total negativity.

Seriously, you're so wrong you're right - while still being totally wrong. I bet you can bend spoons with your mind.

Let's keep the music community bitter, cynical, and insulting! When you reach your 100,000th snarky post about how every band sucks shit, you will attain Indie Cred Nirvana.

Sorry 10:17, I was actually sitting on a beach enjoying my weekend. What about you?

I was at a 9 hour epic terrific independent rock show with over 1000 rad people!!

Sorry, for some reason it looks like a patch of dirt with some shitty bands. Not only do the audio clips reveal that, so do the pix. Sorry man, not buying the 'epic' claim but hey man, to each their own.

10:21, i'll break it down for you:

knyfe hits look awful.
ex-models sounded awful.
knyfe hits look as awful as ex-models sounded.
thus, the total suck factor is not surprising.

oh my god 11:01/04 hurt my whittle whittle feewings!

he doesn't like the bands I like! oh no! what will I do if 11:01/04 doesn't approve of a show he didn't attend with bands he has no prior knowledge of at all??

if some guy on the internet insults things I like I'll just melt! there's no reason to go on!

11:04, am I right in drawing the conclusion that you've never listened to this band and only barely have heard their previous band, and are putting them down purely on visuals and your own windbag arrogance alone?

you sir, are not a relevant opinion.

11:12, quit sniffing glue, there's some donuts that need to be punched.

11:18, you're right that i never listened to this band, only saw them looking like a bunch of homeless transvestites on the train at 2am, and the gimmick is a turn-off. you are wrong on the second count, i once sat through a whole record of ex-models (don't remember which - an early one, i think - i blocked it out) and saw a couple of music videos; someone also threw a track off another record on a mix for me, definitely the low point on that mix. so you see, you're just gonna have to accept that someone thinks your favorite band is a turd. don't spend too much time crying in a corner, now.

oh you never heard the band? then shut the fuck up

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHH SHUT UP ALL OF YOU

Hey,

on Sat, July 26th in the Main Space of the Knit Factory - there is a totally free show w/ Awesome
Color headlining + KNYFE HYTS, Cody Ranaldo (Lee's
son), Viki and Ko-cho bisexual. I repeat, this show
is totally free - no rsvp or anything just show
up. Next SAT

but some guy on the internet who's never heard Knyfe Hyts says they're bad. I don't know *what* to believe.

buttmunch! i never said KH's music sucks, only that they look hideous, and that based on their previous band, i'm not expecting much. and that's my last post on the subject of the horrid ex-models, etc.

simply horrid, dreadful, ghastly, frightful, oh heavens to betsy!

i don't know why i even read these comments anymore.

what kind of bullshit is this?

This comments board is the only thing I ever want to read on my lunch break. Who are you losers? Please don't ever change.

only on this comment board would it be necessary to defend a band that is as pure a good time as Knyfe Hyts.

they're a heavily weed-smoking repetitiously funky black sabbath homage and they fucking rock.

yeah they wore some silly outfits at this particular show, and your complaint is?

@flakeycakey - We are you...and you are us. But regardless, I'm with ya on the lunch break thing! LOL!

Knyfe Hyts are the deal. If you're not down, then I suggest smoking the milk.

KNYFE HYTS!
