Half Assed Review: Mayyors - Megan’s LOLZ, etc
October 1st, 2008 by Jeremy Smears
SRSLY, not even sure why I’m writing about this. Pressed in severely small runs, either because nobody is buying records anymore or… well, you’ve heard the phrase “buy now ebay later”? In any event this is probably sold out by now. Don’t worry, a friend predicts they’ll pull an AFrames for the full length and how limited could that be?
First thing we gotta talk about is this artwork. Unicorns. RLY? Its so bad, its been done to death, but its still good. How can it be? I think this music might best be written about in the retarded caveman speak this dude sings in but I can’t figure it out. Two more severe punk rock songs. These guys will trample over you and might pretty well be unstoppable. For my buck the most bang comes from the short intro on the A side where these guys mix it up and do something a little more rhythmic, like a stone age krautrock or something.
Also, they have a show tonight at The Knockout:
10/01/08 @ The Knockout
Mayyors
The No Gos (celebrity Go Gos cover band)
DJs Matt Mantle & Dirty Doyle
Mayyors were great live, you can read about that here. By “celebrity” I mean members of T.I.T.S. and Erase Errata. I saw The No Gos a few weeks ago at Gilman, they were alright but I’m not a big Go Go’s fan. Straight up Go Gos covers. I guess the Go Go’s are “in” right now? The kids at Gilman loved it, which seemed wrong to me. Those little punks shoulda been beating up the new wavers, right? Guess I’m wrong if they’re playin with Mayyors. Times they are a changin!
Oh, and Matt Mantle. I don’t know anything about his DJing but he’s the bassist The Mantles these days; I saw them a while ago with Brilliant Colors and I think maybe this guy carries some No-Doze in his pockets or something because that band was really peppy that night. Hopefully he spins records like that too.
