went to see them and it was one of the best gigs ive ever been to, supported by metric.....equally awsome and innovative..... but dfa 79 were awsome. its incredible how 2 guys can make so much noise with such precision (like the white stripes but both guys) and the singer/drummer does an amaing job. just try siniging and drumming at a mental pace for a couple of hours and get it bang on, not easy, class act bassically

They are an awesome and quite unique band. The most recognizable drum and bass duo also. I have a lot of respect for the drummer, because he is also the lead singer. I would love to see these guys live. My favorite tracks are "Black History Month", "Turn it Out", "Blood On Your Hands", "Girl U R Lovely", and "Better Off Dead".

Words cannot describe how much I love this band. I got the album in January on import (I couldn't wait for it to be released in the UK) and it hasn't really been off my stereo since.

OK I gotta pIss on the "I LOVE DFA 1979 2005" Parade (you coulda come up with a less confusing name btw) by saying that these are the two most arrogant average toss-collectors I have come across (dont pardon the pun) in years and they shall (all going well) disappear into nothingness by the time the "I LOVE DFA 1979 2006 parade comes around, or perhaps be run over by one of the floats...

Blood On Your Hands is fairly all-rightish though...If it wasnt about womens menstrual effluence of course (they actually admitted that...Even Im not sick enough to come up with that one!)

OMFG Theyre Canadian too....There just begging for this....
