Title: Mars Volta
Post by: Jessie on March 08, 2005, 03:35:53 PM
I heard a song by him/them this morning, and it was great.

Anyone know anything about them/him?

You must have missed the thread where Mike and I spazzed out about them as we listened to the disc.  The single is only a portion of what they are like.  I'll be happy to send along some more to you, or via Yahoo IM one evening.

I thought the singer was Jeff Buckley at first.

The music sounds a lot like his heavier stuff, too.

I remember that thread now that you mention it.

I think you probably like the guy's voice, but that the music is too...just not your style.

Fucking SWEET.

My coworker, who I am going to the concert with, found that the band has been posting bit torrents of many of their live shows on some Website.  He found one with good quality - menus and all! - and laid off a copy for me!

There goes my evening.   ;D
