I saw them yesterday, and they were amazing. They're one of those bands that can manage to sell out a club, and then have 25% of the audience leave before the end of the set because of their abrasive noisiness. I swear, they played one mellow poppy song, then one upbeat noisy song. They played one song that was a fifteen minute long krautrock-ish epic with a steady bassline and drumbeat and with the guitarist completely freaking out and destroying his instrument, and one twenty minute long song that started barely audible and finished with an ocean of noise. Absolutely brilliant set.
