Think I've mentioned them before but whatever, it bears repeating.

So crazy and so awesome. And they all sing, and they're super tight live. Love them.

Kind of struggling with that last one - David Gilmour it ain't................. :-)

The bass player is a powerhouse.

Your singer has excellent taste.

I've just learned A-L-I-E-N on bass.

It's really fucking hard but great fun. The 7/8 bar in the slap section always gets me.

Jeeeeeesus, they're so tight live...

I bought the two most recent albums at relatively vast expense on Amazon, and Bu-ikikaesu arrived today.

It is fucking fabulous. Hadn't heard the title track but it's a standout.

And oh my god, would you just listen to this. I don't know or care what the lyrics mean, but the melodies are so good. Sorry about the anime nerd video, it annoys me that this was the best version of the song on YouTube. Cool solo at 1:25 as well.

Also, here is me doing the slap bass part in "A-L-I-E-N" (in the video, this is where the bass player sprouts the extra heads):

If you're interested in hearing where it is in the song, the video is a couple of posts up from here (Sep 3rd) and the little snippet I'm playing is from around 1:35 to 1:50. I can do the rest too, but that's the coolest bit and Instagram only gives you 15 seconds...
