Raketkanon last concert was in 2020

I learned about this band when they stopped after 10 years. This is top Belgium quality music, second record produced by Steve Albini.

Major characteristics : all songs have a first name as title, lyrics are in a non-existing language, and for the song Ricky, the performance style item is : holding plastic grocery bag. Music video : chasing an onion man in the forrest.

Well, I have to say that, although listening to this song is pretty much like listening to 90% of rock bands whose lyrics are mumbled and unintelligible anyway, there is something vaguely ridiculous about a band with lyrics in a made up language. I think only Sigur ros can get away with that.

Otherwise, well produced rock song. Not sure if I'd dive in more given the above.

Hmm Sigur Ros, never heard before, bit to soft for me. And the lyrics, same as for Raketkanon, it actually doesn't matter if they would sing in own language or gibberish, we wouldn't understand anyway :-)
