ratatat
 

ok i picked up on these guys a while back. i saw them live and it was an amazing show. they have 2 cds, classics and ratatat. i prefer the self titled but they are b oth AMAZING. its 2 guitars with plenty of layers and whatnot, really bad ass stuff. recommend starting with the songs "seventeen years" "cherry" and "nostrand".

they have a myspace page
www.myspace.com/ratatatmusic

they dont have lyrics, but seperate from their albums they make guitar licks using rappers lyrics. (what do you expect from ny)

Get their ratatat remix volumes 1 and 2. It's their music mixed with the vocals of rappers like notorious, kayne, and Memphis bleek. Those two albums really opened up hip hop to me.

Cool stuff, it's nice to hear something different.

I've heard both of their albums and thought they were decent enough, but when I saw them at Coachella they were pretty lackluster. Saw them again a week or two ago opening for Daft Punk and they almost put me to sleep. Can't say I like them very much anymore.

Yeah they're not very good.

really? I enjoy them much.

dont listen to this guy, read his post. all he does it talk **** on these forums. i have seen him make about 3 positive post.

i saw them at coachella and thought it was a bad ass performance, of course i was tripping on acid and im a HUGE fan... doesnt change the fact that i know good music when i see it

No it's because I don't like the band. I can go and post threads about bands I do enjoy if you want.

Loud Pipes was kind of lame but I liked LEX.

i just take it from my head ya know i can do that no disrespect
