Act 4 - 5 July 2002 - Ketamine
Hi there
Ketamine from South Africa will headline Act IV this year. Here are some links to Ketamine demos that were submitted to Act IV and Joe Shanahan of Metro: Both songs were recorded live in the studio - no production... "AVA ADORE" http://www.ketamine.co.za/avaadore.mp3 "REFLECT IN YOU" (Written by Ketamine) http://www.ketamine.co.za/reflectinyou.mp3 And, the 'Ghost Children' CD version of "Disarm" http://www.ketamine.co.za/Ketamine_disarm.mp3 or you could visit our website at: http://www.ketamine.co.za Comments are always welcome... |
oh. is this the band from last year with the vocalist that sounded like he was straining himself to try and sound like billy?

I was expecting tribal music last year- and I was VERY disappointed. also..I really dislike the fact that the (female) vocalist of ketamine changed the lyrics of disarm to "I used to be a little girl.." that was lame and cliche.

Ketamine was the worst band last year by far. I could have gotten on stage at Metro with people I have never playeded with before and we would have cranked out better covers than that. That and Linsey Kuper were the only disappointments. The rest of the show was awesome. This tribute show will never be as good as the last one. The pumpkins vibe has also faded considerably since. The last one was only like 7 months after they called it quits, and people were still trying to get over it so it was nice at it worked. This will be a dissapointment, and will probably lead to no future Act 6 or whatever.

There's a lot of people in this thread that should be keeping the piehole closed.
Ketamine is an excellent band. And Disarm was far and away the best track in the Ghost Children CD. Nothing else was even in the same ballpark. Supersonic -- do not let these pissants get you down. Yr. band moves mountains, and some of us can hear that. |
no, seriously though...last year was all about kill hannah. their cherub rock cover was amazing.

Hey Pmack I'm entitled to own fucking opinion. They sucked as a live band, you dont have to agree. Darcy, Christophe, and Kill Hannah were a lot better
|
I will attend.

They may have sucked as a live band, but until you have the balls to form a band, play a single show and then fly to another country to play your second show, you should keep your mouth shut. Maybe they still need to find their live legs, but the 'live demos' they posted are great-- the band has talent and skill. |
Hmmm.... its funny you should say talent and skill because we are talking about covers here.
|
I listened to the Ketamine Disarm cover. I like the piano part, but other than that, it's nothing really special. The one thing I don't like about it is the way she sings. There are times when she's annoying, like at the beginning with "and cut you like..," she says the word "cut" gay, like she's trying to sound cool or something. Bleah. It happens in other parts of the cover too. The sound quality of the recording is good, the drums are good, the piano is good, the guitars are alright, but her voice is kinda gay.
|
i'll be there.

I've never seen someone get so defensive about a band that quite honestly is not worth the trouble of defending. If you like them, fine. And quit acting like your opinion is the common one. Everyone around me was yawning when they were playing last year. I just wasn't as impressed as with the other bands, its not that big of a deal. And as for your moon being made of green cheese analogy, well I won't even go there, I wont stoop to that level.

And D'arcy. Lost Logic and Ketamine were meh. Robyn of course had the best of the acoustic sets. That other guy with the whiny voice was pretty good too...whatever his name was. What was this thread about again? |
