So, yeah, Art Brut is better than that. A lot better.

He keeps remaking "Formed A Band" like no one will notice. The review's too gentle, if anything.

At least Sky Cries Mary has bottomed-out expectations going for it.

There were lots of proto-burning man hippies in the audience. People got naked. Fun was had.

I'm not a fan of SCM myself, but I respect the time they put in as old-school seattle music. They were doing their own thing when everyone was rocking nordstrom flannels. Seattle tends to be pretty snide to it's musical history. But Eric is still right.

Hella fun. SCM may not be the coolest shit out, but you can't hate on their stripes.
