Something For The Weekend #7
November 25th, 2006
SAY HULLO TO:
WHO ARE: Lamby (guitar/vocals), Brown Scotch (guitar/E-bow), Tron (sound manipulation), David St James (bass) and Session (drums)
PEDDLING: Goat-voiced kook-rock
FROM THEIR BASE IN: Plymouth
THEY SAY: “We came out in a city with about as much culture as a toilet, because of this any band who’s a bit different are either called ‘pretentious’ or sound like bands with obvious similarities. No-one reads between the lines or takes things for what they are. If you can’t pin it down, it’s nonsense.”
WE SAY: With nods to Mars Volta, 36 Crazyfists, SOAD and Mr Bungle, Doxa
just about manage to temper their self-consciously wacky lyrics with some fantastic choons.
RANDOM LYRIC: “If I could kill my father, then I’m sure I would. If I could fuck my mother, then I’m sure I would. If I can kill Regina Spektor, we’ll be safe.”
NEED TO KNOW: They list their influences as altered contexts, energy, experience, expression, community, casualties and quotations. Oh, and their MySpace site features lotsa pictures of them with their tops off. Steady, girls!

bull in a China shop is my favorite song of theirs probably because my grandpa used to say that to me everyday when I was little, but that is besides the point. Great song.
