Couldnt go last night though, was feeling a little under the weather, and you have to be tip-top for a lovvers gig, or you will die.

They were superb the other night, they've improved every time I've seen them. They seem to meld that disjointed squall/fury of hardcore with a melody and intricacy which at first I think is lost in the live experience until you know your way around the songs and then it really shines. As they get tighter and develop a few more styles and ideas these guys will have a breathtaking live show. what's hard to place is what audience they have, who do they appeal to?
Me
for starters!
But yeah, I can see what you mean, as they don't fit into any kind of genre or sub-genre for that matter.
I think that could be a big positive though as every time I've seen them they seem to attract a real cross-section of people, and no one I've spoken to who's seen them has said anything less than complimentary things afterwards.
I actually don't think...
...Lovvers are doing anything that new. Rites of Spring/Skull Control/Oxbow but with a slightly slower, doomier feel.
But by Christ, they do what they do mindmeltingly well.
Sean is obviously a great frontman, but his voice is just as incredible: furious, righteous and very angry. Henry's guitar playing is brilliant too. Listen closely and you can hear his love of stuff like Pavement/Yo La Tengo/Tim Kinsella. Not many people can use a loop pedal like him, either. Then their rythym section's unrelenting and as tight as fuck.
They'll go far. They've got a ltd.edition 4 track 7" coming out on Jonson Family soon.
Not convinced by the doom
I think the moments of sludge are more breathing spaces for sean to get some rest. Although henry's loops often give that doom like quality.
yah
I meant doom in that they give you a sense of doom rather than sounding like Boris. Sludge is a better word.
first time i saw
jarcrew. the singer collected empty pint glasses then sat on my lap and sang to me
this was the exact moment i fell in love with that band.
also first time i saw Engerica, very good night
