I ran this initially in March and no one read it but Crocodiles are BACK IN TOWN TONIGHT @ RNR WITH HOLY FUCK. So you get a chance to rectify your earlier mistakes. Get to it.
Monday night @ The Red & The Black may as well be the worst timing/location for a show ever.
Chances of you trekking it out there to H Street NE (especially after a weekend like this one) are slim to slender to none but regardless everyone should make a point to (at least virtually)
check out Crocodiles who have the unfortunate fortune of playing their DC show there tonight, when in all honesty, they deserve to be on the mainstage at the Cat at least on a Thursday and surrounded by a couple hundred kids who wear their jeans well.
But life is not perfect so, follow these easy steps to getting to know and love them:
First off, look at this video:
Second off, saunter over to their myspace page: http://www.myspace.com/crocodilescrocodilescrocodiles and enjoy the rest of their glamorously dark jams like Summer of Hate and Soft Skull
Third off, read up on them in Stereogum and New York Times and find out that NO Age loves them, that they have risen from the ashes of the (pretty awesome) Some Girls and Plot to Blow Up the Eiffel Tower and are from San Diego which means that their lives were probably better and sunnier than yours, and that they love Spaceman 3, much like some other California bands we love here at BYT.
Fourth off grab this MP3 of I wanna Kill and check out their collaboration with Dum Dum Girls
Fifth off stare at this photo intently:
Josh Haner/The New York Times
Sixth off after all, decide to motivate to go to Red & The Black after all tonight but then find out that no matter what Crocodiles will get their big party that they deserve when they cruise back into the area on April 15th when they play Sonar with Ladytron & The Faint.
But then, if you do see them tonight, in 2 weeks you can say you knew them "back when" and sometimes, lets face it, that is what it is all about around these parts.
God loves a cheerful giver.
caught these guys at sxsw. the singer has a tribal tattoo on his lower back.
teehee
THIS BAND IS AWESOME
TRIBAL TATTOOS RULE
I haven't heard a band this good for months. The awesomness. Maybe it is possible to feature bands as good as this more often after all.
Miserable. Holy Fuck kept it tight though.
these guys sucks so badly. they're embarassingly bad...they are schticky, and their music lacks any sort of testicles. that's hilarious about the tribal tatoo.
holy fuck blew them out of the water.
Really?!?! That sucks- i like that video
i know. i like that record a lot
Okay, Holy Fuck is acceptable. Mind-blowing, even. But the two are hardly comparable since t5hey operate in different dimensions.
