if darling bear hates it, then you'll be staring at a job down the McD's, mofo.

I've heard about them, but not of them, will check them out.

 

[zonelistener]

They are GREAT live....

Way better than recorded. I saw them live, then ventured to the recorded stuff. I liked the live version better.

Do you know if the have some North America dates coming up?

the rain the rain the rain now

 

[HeadsOnSticks]

They're good live. Saw them open for Radiohead in Santa Barbara. Also really really good is lead singers' side band "King Biscuit Time." Check out the awesome song " I Walk The Earth."

[HelloAngel]

ROB: I will now sell six copies of "The Three EPs" by the Beta Band.
DICK: Do it.
--High Fidelity

"She's the One" is a beautiful song, complete with some chipmunk-kids singing at the end of it.

i still only know the songs i downloaded when this thread was newer

 

[u2popmofo]

Alright, anyone else get the new album? I'm interested in hearing opinions on it, because I know it's gotten extremely positive and negative reviews.

I'd have to say that I'm really loving it! It's definitely a bit more accessable than their other work, which people will either really like or really hate. Anyways, I'm probably enjoying it even more than the 3 EP's for the time being.

 

[IWasBored]

i like it so far from what i've heard. which is only the first couple tracks.

 

[zoney!]

I have yet to hear it.

Do they have tour plans yet?

 

[alia612]

I'd heard "Dry The Rain" on the radio and had no idea what it was--I searched for it for awhile unsuccessfully and gave up--then watched High Fidelity and figured it out. Quite possibly the first time I've ever figured out a song from hearing it in a movie.

 

[u2popmofo]

Do they have tour plans yet?

Their website says they're planning a US tour for September. They've already confirmed that they'll be at the Austin City Limits Fest


I'm still really digging the new album.

 

[The Sage]

I have their 'Human Being' single, and my uncle is married to the mother of the singer/guitarist, but i've never heard any of their albums...

 

[zoney!]

I'm still really digging the new album.

I listened to it last week...it is by far their best.

Looking forward to the tour.

 

[meegannie]

Someone buy it for me and I'll review it for you.
