The Icarus Line: On The Lash with the MC5

The Icarus Line are playing a handful of dates with some guys that are actaully older than Primal Scream. Holy sheeeet.

The band in question, the reformed (but not really) MC5, are a bit shit, but The Icarus Line are not, so go to these shows, get wired, and get naked. ROCK.

AUGUST 2004
24 Brighton Concorde
25 London Astoria
31 Glasgow Garage

SEPTEMBER 2004 (Icarus Line headline, no MC5)
1 Galway Roisin Dubh
2 Cork An Cruiscin
3 Limerick Dolans
5 Belfast Limelight

A single, 'On The Lash', will emerge on August 30th. It's much better than the shitty last single, 'Party The Baby Off', but still not as good as 'Up Against The Wall...'. But you should buy it, or else Sean and I will come over and burn you. Probably.

I can always read the first paragraph and sometimes the first few words of an article on here and know whether or not it's written by Michael Diver.

This shows a definite style of his own.

the icarus line are weak as fuck, how dare those american posers steal our term 'on the lash' for their own devices!!

Be quiet you! Back to your shed!

Re: The Icarus Line: On The Lash with the MC5

When are you inviting us 'tards (nicer use of 'tard, by the way - appreciated that) over for a barbecue? I promise not to bring any Icarus Line rekkids with me...

Re: The Icarus Line: On The Lash with the MC5

'nicer'?

>> MC5, are a bit shit, but The Icarus Line are not

Well I'm hardly the world's biggest MC5 fan, but...

That's just wrong.

Re: The Icarus Line: On The Lash with the MC5

a tard who talks to himself
for other people's amusement, at any rate

Re: The Icarus Line: On The Lash with the MC5

the mc5 WERE a cool rolling-stones-squared plus cod politics.
now they are mc3, and old.
thank fuck for mike for pointing this out, and also to andy future for what he said about new york dolls.

>> MC5, are a bit shit, but The Icarus Line are not .

Yeah I think the first bit was a little unfair. I have heard bad reviews tho of the 5. I dont care, I dont live in london so dont have a choice but then Id rather see the Line headLine if you get ma drift.

And in Whelans too..hell yeah

But can you imagine the cumulation of "the jams" that would occur without the MC5!? We should honour these pensioners for their kicking talents. Monster Magnet, RATM and even Buckley tried, but none quite had the meta-castles to pull it off.

Re: The Icarus Line: On The Lash with the MC5

and the presidents of the usa, but no ones done it better than the mighty magnet. although the presidents cover of video killed the radio star is ace.

Re: The Icarus Line: On The Lash with the MC5

How could I forget POTUSA? Such a sweet sugar-coated kicking style.

I actually saw this show, Icarus are a fantastic live band. At least they haven't gone all pompous, self-indulgent, and use the word 'World' in any of their songs.

Aaron North is how a guitarist is supposed to be.

Just what the hell are these fabulous guys up to these days????hope they haven't gone the same way as QOTSA or worse those violin lovin' fanny-sniffing Trail of Shit!

PLEASE ICARUS LINE, COME BACK TO US....

Re: The Icarus Line: On The Lash with the MC5

Someone told me their new demos stunk to high shit, so I dunno what's up... think they've been taking too many drugs, even for them.
