Damaramu Posted June 27, 2005 Report Posted June 27, 2005 I saw the Nekromantix the other night and they were just plain awesome. I really really enjoyed the concert and the genre of music in general. Who else has ever heard them?
Guest wayzing Posted June 27, 2005 Report Posted June 27, 2005 Aaah, they're awesome! I really envy you for getting to see them perform live. Does he still use that coffin shaped bass? They're Danish, and I live in Denmark. When I first discovered their music I really wanted to see them live so I was quite disappointed to hear they live in the US (California?). My band is called The Resistance and we made a song called Nekrosistance as a tribute to this great band that I've never seen or met

He poured beer on it and licked it off too. That was cool. He also made a gay joke to my friend. My friend was having him sign his back patch and he walked up and bent over and Nekroman goes "Is that an offer?" and my other friend goes "He loves the cock!" and Nekroman goes "Whoa guys I was just kidding! I'm only on tour for 3 months. Not that desperate yet."
Guest wayzing Posted June 28, 2005 Report Posted June 28, 2005 Your friend sitting in a bar 40 years from now: "You know, young man, I once spoke to the great Nekroman". Young man in bar: "Wow! That's awesome. What did you say to him?" Your friend: "He loves the cock" Young man in bar: "Check, please". Sounds like a great show. What other bands within the genre do you like?
Damaramu Posted June 28, 2005 Author Report Posted June 28, 2005 The only other Psychobilly bands I've really heard are Tiger Army and The Cramps....I love both bands.
Guest BrokenWings Posted June 28, 2005 Report Posted June 28, 2005 Nekroman also plays guitar for the Horrorpops, which is a psychobilly band fronted by two females. They have two go-go dancers who tour with them, too. They're pretty cool.
Corey_Lazarus Posted June 29, 2005 Report Posted June 29, 2005 I greatly dislike the Horrorpops, yet loved every Nekromantix I've heard (which, admittedly, isn't much). Don't like The Cramps too much, though, besides "Surfing Dead."
Guest wayzing Posted June 29, 2005 Report Posted June 29, 2005 I greatly dislike the Horrorpops, yet loved every Nekromantix I've heard Wow. Strong words. I've never heard the Horrorpops. What are they like? Btw. Has anyone heard of a band called Ad Sin? They're on a compilation I have. They play an incredible version of Turbonegro's "Rock Against Ass". Tried to google them but they're hard to find apparantly.
Guest BrokenWings Posted June 30, 2005 Report Posted June 30, 2005 I'd personally recommend "Where They Wander", "Julia", and "Kool Flaptop", if you're looking at getting into the Horrorpops. I think the rockabilly genre is generally hit or miss, and I didn't like the HP on first listen, so I understand where Corey's coming from. I didn't care for them much at all until they came through town.
Darthtiki Posted June 30, 2005 Report Posted June 30, 2005 I still haven't heard a Nekromantix song, but I do love Tiger Army so I'll give them a listen.
Corey_Lazarus Posted June 30, 2005 Report Posted June 30, 2005 "Who Killed The Cheerleader?" is a must-have by the Nekromantix. I just don't like the Horrorpops, and I don't know why, but there's nothing about them I really can sink my teeth into.

I just don't like the Horrorpops, and I don't know why, but there's nothing about them I really can sink my teeth into. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I think "Trick of Treat" is my favourite Nekromantix track. I found two Horrorpops tracks on Pure Volume (which seems to be my new favourite site btw) and they were ok, but I kept listening for the cocky swagger of Nekromatix. Kinda unfair I guess, since they're two different bands. So no one has any info about Ad Sin, then?
PLAGIARISM! Posted June 30, 2005 Report Posted June 30, 2005 I'm a Cramps loyalist, I don't really care for anything else in the genre.
Guest wayzing Posted June 30, 2005 Report Posted June 30, 2005 kim from the nekromantix will be calling in to dicky's radio show to do an interview this morning. don't know what time, but its at www.indie1031.fm
