[soundtest]

polysics is playing montreal tonight and tickets are only $10 CAD!!!! :faint

[iron mitchell]

[iron mitchell]

[soundtest]

[Dole]

I have seen them play twice and both times they were absolutely fucking amazing. A ton of energy and tight as a cats chuff.

[ItalianStereotype]

I don't know if I like them cause I can't find any of their stuff ;<

[soundtest]

dole: twice? shit, i'm jealous... have you heard kayo's (the synth gal) solo album? i'm itching to check it out cuz my favourite tracks are when she sings (either clean or with the vocoder).

ital: pm me your gmail/hotmail/email_that_has_a_lot_of_storage and i'll hook you up with my favourite tracks :biased ;)

[Pub Lover]

I'll take some of that action. :)

[ItalianStereotype]

NO YOU WONT, IT'S JUST FOR ME

[Pub Lover]

:wah

[Ninjavenom]

I fail to see what's not to like about this band :o

[iron mitchell]

the way they sound...

[soundtest]

ok im trashed guys and have to wake up for work in 4 hours so dont use any of this against me iron mitchell well take this up in mock wars am i right

fucking amazing live show... the energy was unbelievabe..

but Montreal crowds SUCK. fuck them. i swear i was the only one going nuts...

and i held back...

these dudes put on one of the best shows i've seen in this city and people tap their feet and bob their head liking fucking inhibited drones.. unbelievable... it's the same in Toronto and i fear the impressions bands get from coming to this barren shithole of a country...

on the bright side i had a beer with them and they all signed my shitty poster :)

[Dole]

Glad you went and saw them, shame the crowd sucked.

They are the sort of band you have to be in the mood to isten to, but they are truly original (despite being devo worshippers), amazing musicians, and I have never heard a band blend beats/keyboards/samples with guitars/bass/drums so well.

[soundtest]

I have never heard a band blend beats/keyboards/samples with guitars/bass/drums so well.

I couldn't have said it better. They're fucking unbelievable. I have a feeling they're going to be big. Then I'll hate them. :posh

Oh and I sent the songs to those who emailed me. Unfortunately it bounced back because it said it couldn't be delivered to Rongi cuz he doesn't have enough space, so if anybody didn't get them, blame him!

[Rongi]

i got the songs fine. i like the song commodoll

[Pub Lover]

The Polysics rock! :rock

Great stuff, thanks Steve. :)

[soundtest]

i got the songs fine. i like the song commodoll

I sent 3 emails to everyone - 2 of yours bounced back.

Pub: Cool, glad you like em. There's a Live video of one of their US shows available on P2P or bit torrent somewhere. I highly recommend it because their real power is in their stage shows.

[Ninjavenom]

I've got a handful of their videos. One is a live version of Code 4 <3

[soundtest]

OH SHIT

hook us up plz ><

[Ninjavenom]

AIM, soulseek, or torrent?

[soundtest]

!!!

if you can hook me up with torrents you have my first born

[Ninjavenom]

I made this one (http://www.uwn.granerohosting.com/ddlxtreme/public/download.php?info_hash=67d980bacecd8acc5e3c06569ae 0913a28770eb0). It's got two clips i was too lazy to remove, one video containing Buggie Technica, Urge On, New Wave Jacket, and Kasugai, and the Code 4 vid.

I have a lightning bolt video too, if anyone wants that. The guy i was downloading it from had the WHOLE SHOW but he never got back on after i got the first one. What a fucking tease.

edit: Also, by torrents, did you mean of any of their albums, also? i have Neu!!, For Young Electric Pop, and Polysics or Die, if you need any of those. I like making torrents :(

[soundtest]

that link is not working for me ><

just the videos is cool for me - i've got pretty much all of their albums

edit: n/m the i got the torrent now :) the whole show - is it that pipipipippipi whatever one? my roommate has that and it's pretty damn cool

[Ninjavenom]

It's the video from something Called Maximum Volume #4. Looks like some kinda video mag. Nifty video, and it's funny to see how their style changes so much in each of the files.

[ItalianStereotype]

oh wow :o

I love these guys

[thebiggameover]

i saw these guys in phoenix. they put on a GREAT show. if you get the change go see them. thay are wayyyyy better live....

[Krythor]

I would like to inform everybody that I have just seen them in Cardiff and they are indeed as awesome as anticipated.

I, too, had a shitty crowd. I was the only person who even left the ground or even raised their arms during the set, and I was three lines back behind those comatose assholes. But I was practically the only person who stayed behind for when they packed their stuff up, and I got my CD signed by all four of them and shook their hands. I drunkenly shouted "COME BACK" at the end and "CLAP, ASSHOLES" after every song, which I'm pretty proud of.

Best live band I've seen for a long, long time, and they were all really nice to talk to afterwards.

[soundtest]

Haha nice Krythor, you sound like me when I saw them. Idiots at the front that were standing there tapping their feet like zombies actually gave me dirty looks for getting up close when I was the only one actually moving.

Rest assured that when this band gets big (which I think is inevitable), these will be the same people that brag about how they saw Polysics live before they 'sold out' and it was the best show of their lives. Of course they'll omit the fact that they stood around like drones for the whole set, questioning whether or not they should risk not looking cool by moving.

:rolleyes

copy and paste.

I think that was the song that Kayo pulled the recorder out for. That, and her gold pon pons during peach pie on the beach (I think) were the two defining moments of the night. <3

[soundtest]

That, and her gold pon pons during peach pie on the beach (I think)

Yea, she pulled out the pom poms for that song definitely, here too.

Nice video - is that Hiro in the cop uniform? Whoever it is can really fucking move!

[sloth]

I JUST missed them in the UK >: And this band is definitely on the way to getting big. Next time they're back they're supporting Kaiser Chiefs. It's tempting to go, except the place is going to be full of Kaiser Chiefs fans >: I'll save my money for Khanate and Baroness.

[Dole]

most of those dates are already sold out I think. They just played a tiny pub here in brighton, which must have been insane but neither me or the mate who got me into them could go as he was rather inconsideratly having an engagement party the same night.

[Mad Melvin]

I downloaded Polysics or die and I must say its pretty damn good. Very catchy tunes and this album went straight to my shopping list. :)
New Wave Jacket is a personal favourite atm.
