musicbassman Posted November 30, 2020 Share Posted November 30, 2020 Someone sent me this link. This genre is described as 'Noise Rock' I'm not going to pass comment, you might like it, you might not, but it's certainly interesting. Band are Lightning Bolt, it's bass and drums only, the 'music' starts around 3.00... err - ish The audience clearly love it, but I think the disco pills might help. Not sure whether the two girls in red shorts launching themselves into the audience are part of the band or not, but, hey, whatever. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

leftybassman392 Posted November 30, 2020 Share Posted November 30, 2020 Can I just confirm: the people in the audience, they've paid real money to be there... is that right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nail Soup Posted November 30, 2020 Share Posted November 30, 2020 I like Lightening Bolt, own one album by them and would love to see them live. Apparently they don't play on stage, but on the floor in the middle of the audience…. in this case surrounded by a barrier. Apparently, for extra non-conformity they sometimes start their set within a few seconds of the support band finishing. The line up is one guy on drums/vocals (vocals are into an old fashioned telephone stuck to mask which he wears) and one guy on Bass (G string replaced by a banjo string). 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How does he get the Banjo string to stay on the bass? Aren’t Banjos a lot shorter than a bass? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ahpook Posted November 30, 2020 Share Posted November 30, 2020 (edited) I enjoyed it - some of that was really good. Edited November 30, 2020 by ahpook Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hooky_lowdown Posted November 30, 2020 Share Posted November 30, 2020 I like Lightening Bolt also. Around the same kinda time as DFA1979, believe they later inspired drum and bass bands including The Carps, which are a lot more poppy.

Good question..... I’m guessing there is some kind of long scale banjo and he adds a bit more length beyond the nut or something? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Based on my previous comments I think we can assume that LB don't believe in the standard binary division of band/audience. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maude Posted November 30, 2020 Share Posted November 30, 2020 How dare those pesky youngsters go around enjoying music that the older generation don't understand. It wasn't like it in my day.................. oh, hang on. 5 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EJWW Posted November 30, 2020 Share Posted November 30, 2020 I like this. I also like Death From Above 1979. Love the rawness of the sound and the raucus reaction of the crowd. Love live music. 😥 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bobbass4k Posted November 30, 2020 Share Posted November 30, 2020 Seen lightning bolt live three times in my life, each one louder than the last. Noise rock is about as useful a term as rock itself - it´s applied so liberally to bands that are so different to each other that it doesn´t hold much weight as a genre. Sonic youth, shellac, the jesus lizard, there´s far more digestable entries in the canon, and then something like the locust, which makes lighting bolt look like baby shark... Personally I´ve always thought of lightning bolt as a really really loud jazz band that get stuck in a 30 second time loop. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jean-Luc Pickguard Posted November 30, 2020 Share Posted November 30, 2020 Am I imagining things, or does a member of the audience call out a request for Wonderwall at 1:27 in the video? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
