Right... There was this guy who had some drums, and he met this other guy
who had a bass... The result : drums and bass !
Together they fashioned a very primitively gargantuan heavy riff laden rock
'n breakbeats sound not disimilar to what you'd imagine a couple of 13 year
old kids would try to engineer out of basic rock instrumentation after
having been exposed to the most coruscating d'nb plus thrash metal during
their childhood years, on a diet consisting of nothing but sunny delight,
itchy and scratchy, and the strains of early puberty...
Or to put it another way - like Lemmy menacing Squarepusher in the
schoolyard but Squarepushers having none of it.
Heavy metal you can kinda trance out on... Dance music that keeps you
rooted to the spot, rocking. Without so much as a laptop in sight.
Easily one of the best live bands on the planet right now.
Not so much a definition of what the band is but moreso the view from where
I'm standing.

Sorry, I may be exposing myself to ridicule for demonstrating extreme
unhipness for my state of ignorance about something that may well be
radically Cool'n'Groovy and painfully In The Now, but... here goes...
Who/what/why is Lightning Bolt? More to the point, is the answer to this
question considered to be deeply necessary? If not, just say so, and I can
stop worrying that I'm missing out on something. So much of our
music-seeking is driven by some form of paranoia that we may not be 'in on'
something, then once we're 'in on' it, the feeling is often that we could
have managed perfectly well being 'out on' it.
Make sense?
Ta,
alan
