Natalie Portman's Shaved Head

[Spoonbat]

Anybody else heard of these guys? I heard about them last week when Dazza posted info on them. A very strange bunch I must say. Although from my hometown of Seattle so I guess that's a good thing in a very strange way.

Here's the video to their song "Sophisticated Side":

I've been wondering - are they just ripping this off from MGMT's video for "Time to Pretend"?:

Which itself looks like a rip of Modest Mouse's style in the "Float On" video:

Kind of strange how these things seem to follow in order you know.



I don't get it. All the videos are bizarre. Why anybody would want to emulate this style is beyond me.

Reminds me of these old Quizno's ads:

Fucking weird. And I've taken some nasty dope and I know what weird is.

These guys are on some good shit.

Just exploiting a high profile name imho

Never been a fan of bands/artists that use this sort of helping hand to get themselves noticed

[Spoonbat]

The song is okay.

It's just the lyrics are so stupid. That's the best way I can describe it. Sounds like a college band that's not going anywhere serious.

Or just my honest opinion.

[buttsie]

If they were going anywhere they'd have their own Name
A song about a celeb is Ok but to name your band after them is just strange.Then again it is art so I shouldnt be surprised

Judging by this list of bad band names 2007 maybe they chose wisely

Dazza talked about them in the main page like the last week. Or is it the former week?

[Spoonbat]

Mav: That list is pretty bad man

Plop: I think it was last week. I know it was a week or 2 or so ago.

[buttsie]

Are you hallucinating?Mav aint in the building yet

Most of the names are a stretch but if your looking for attention what better way....

I'd still settle for Machine Gun Fellatio as my bands name if I was musically inclined

[Spoonbat]

lol - sorry man. Yeah. Don't know why but last night I got your avatar screwed up with his. Don't know why but it reminded me of his.

Sorry for the error man.

Sophisticated Side Ponytail is so ridiculously catchy. I kind of like it.

[Extreme Allah]

I dig some of their songs. They're not horrible or anything.

Sure. You don't know why. Take a look at your ava, man!
