Lambchop flex their creative muscle in characteristically low-key style again; but the Devil is in the detail.

Who would have thought? I wouldn't have - a Memphis to Nashville cover of "I've Been Lonely For So Long" by Lambchop? Really ? Yeah - and I feel like they truly pull it off. Kurt pulls off the high vocals. the trebely guitars, the active yet understated drums, the un-understandable horn section, all delivered very quietly and oh-so-softly, so you don't even know thay've arrived? a great interpetation of the song. If you haven't listened to the original, se... MORE
this is what I'll post. Since Lambchop released their Is A Woman album back in 2002 it has been my favorite sunday album. I never get tired of it and I would definitely bring it to the island. I often put this album at the top of my imaginary all-time greatest album list. So many people........so much peace. I got my hands on the limited edition containing a bonus disc. The first track is a cover of the Sisters of Mercy classic This Corrosion. I don't need to tell ... MORE
I saw an ad today for Lambchop's new CD called Damaged. I had not heard of Lambchop at the time, but I was outraged. "How dare a band named after a PBS sock puppet rip off Black Flag" I thought. Through a simple allmusic search, however, I saw that they were a quirky, unpredictable country jazz noise band, with a 13 year history and a concept album about Watergate under their belt. They've been very successful in Europe, but have failed in the US. I will be purchasing Dama... MORE
Prior to the MC Chris show (see below) I was at the Lambchop show down the road. (I do have some taste). The Lambchop contingent was somewhat reduced from the 15 or so member line up - just Kurt, drums, keys and a few guitars. There were, however, augmented by the Tosca string quartet. Tosca, if you are not familiar, is a hip classical act from Austin - most noted for doing the soundtrack to Waking Life. Kurt was as animated as I've seen him live - the mostly mellow ... MORE
Does the name of a band ever put you off?
Names of bands that I think put people off, when really the music would be something they would quite like if they listened to it:
Lambchop
Custard
The Bloodthirsty Lovers
Volebeats
On the other hand, if these band names put you off, then the music probably would as well:
Butthole Surfers
Revolting Cocks
Any more in either category?
Saturday 09.30.06, GAMH:Lambchop By Saturday night my tetanus-laden arm was feeling much better, but I was still intensely grateful this was a seated show. Especially when I spotted Jonathan Richman lurking near my chair at the back. On this particular evening Lambchop was six members strong and accompanied by the Austin-based Tosca String Quartet on a number of songs, which expanded the band's sound from merely pretty to downright orchestral. Live, Lambchop sounds so... MORE
