The Warlocks and Har Mar Superstar

[dtqjr]

Could anyone familiar with these two please comment on their performances and would you recommend attending (Har Mar more as entertainment and so much not musically).  Thanks.

Couldn't have said it better myself, Samantha.They have a sort of Hawkwind-ish vibe to them as well.Definitely a don't miss show.

[dtqjr]

That was good.  Thank you.<BR>I feel the same way about seeing Har Mar...curiosity and the chance to see something strange.<p>[This message has been edited by dtqjr (edited 01-30-2003).]

Are the Warlocks coming to the DC area any time soon? I'll be there, front row. Haven't heard them, but they look like the second coming of Monster Magnet. And that's a great thing.

It looks to me like those Warlocks might be on "the pot"?? God forbid!!

I was having a catch-up convo with JC the other day, he says they'll probably have their own tour following the dates with Interpol in the East.  frankly, they just miss me   hehehe<p>[This message has been edited by Samantha (edited 01-31-2003).]

The Warlocks do have an obvious VU influence, but so do many other bands, so that isn't anything distinguishing.  As for Pink Floyd resemblances, if anything, they're somewhat reminiscent of *early* Pink Floyd.   That's a good thing.  The MP3s I've heard of them are a bit muddy, production-wise, but promising -- the big test for me will be how they are live, and I'd definitely go see 'em if I got the chance.

Caught them backstage at the Black Cat last year and was very impressed.  All the same, you need to be in the mood...

[SPARX]

Yeah,i recorded the Black Cat show.Was real good,minus the sound guy fuck ups when he was even around.Whats up with that?Is he part owner or something?He needs replaced.Guy spent half the night chattin up th ladies when he shoulda been working.Gotta give the band credit though,they took it in stride,even playing one # with nothing but vocals ands drums.

[Samantha]

let my opinion be known and emphasized, that I think the Warlocks are the best band in the whole world  

[Herr Professor Doktor Doom]

Wow, even better than the Pixies?
