Okay so first off, an album by the british Dance-punksters Robots in Disguise. Now, if your like me, you will look at the album cover and think (oh... its just Robots in Disguise screaming and wearing skinny ties). Well you've been fooled. Because they're both covered topless and drenched in body paint. As a result, iTunes covers they're breasts in bars which have the album title and artist name on it (don't belive me? Check out for yourself). It was the first, and as far as this day the only RID record I have, well stolen. Because I'm simply a casual fan per say. I'm not as focused on RID as say Neils Children. But I respect them and enjoy some of their music. And belive me this album is an awesome Dance-punk album, plus an underground cult favorite. I first found out about Robots in Disguise after watching and becoming a fan of The Mighty Boosh, which in turn, I never watched until after I heard of The Horrors, and amazingly I was once in a nightclub with Noel Fielding, unsuprisingly at a Horrors concert, and only found out months afterwards. Anyways if your interested, then scroll down to the end of this post to download the album.
And now for part two. As I (partially) mentioned in the title, there is an upcoming Horrors concert near me, yeah at the awesome Black Cat nightclub in Washington DC (I'll admit, first time going there, and I've heard its like a slightly smaller 9:30 Club). This is the second time I'll be seeing The Horrors, and the first time seeing them headline a concert (first time they opened for The Kills). Now I've been a Horrors fan since February of 09 when my ex online girlfriend told be about them. I was amazed, the best thing out of England since The Jesus and Mary Chain, yes, even better then Bloc Party or Franz Ferdinand (two bands I also enjoy). Plus twice is dark, loud, throbbing and psychaedelic! But the Horrors aren't the only focus now aren't they. There are two opening acts, one, a great, and quite obscure, Garage-Dance band called The Crocodiles (but more commonly refered Crocodiles) and a rather mediocre local Pop rock artist named Casper Bangs (who I don't at all like, but I will try to keep quiet about Bangs). It sounds like a good concert. And I will, if I must! Get to the very front of the concert and be right under Faris Badwans nose! And I once was right under Kim Gordon at a Sonic Youth concert! Right at the fucking front! AWESOME!!!!Downloading links:

Ah, unfortunately I'd only heard of RID when I was really into the Mighty Boosh. But the Horrors I'd heard about WAY before. My friend once told someone 'WE GOT INTO THE HORORRS FROM THE MIGHTY BOOSH, RIGHT?', and I was like...."....um...you might have, but I sure didn't."
ReplyDeleteLittle story for you there, & thanks for the album ;)
Oh no, wait. It says it's corrupt. DAMN YOU *shakes fist*
ReplyDeletehaha, yeah I heard of Horrors way before the boosh. Its funny because at the gig last night I mistook a horrors roadie for Noel Fielding and realised it was actually a woman lol
