The Fierce Lime and His Ponytail Assassins - Modify The Engines |
| Location | Columbus, Ohio.
|
| Initial Impression | Holy crap, that's a funny name.
|
| Notable Lyric | "I would not trade places with you today/For all the
tables of
grapes in California..." - "Tables of Grapes" |
| Factoid | The next Fierce Lime record, tentatively titled, Hi-Jacking the Myth, will be
recorded throughout the summer. |
| Serve With | A pack of Corona, of course. |
| Comments | From the beginning, I fostered no illusions that The Fierce
Lime and
His Ponytail Assassins would be guilty of taking their music too
seriously.
What I didn't expect was the band's ability to mix just enough
silliness into
an album loaded with full-throttle rock energy. The lyrics get more
amusing
the more I listen to the 16 short tracks, but the energy in songs
like
"Holmes, The Heat Director" is what keeps me coming back. I'd love to
see
these guys live; if Modify The Engines is any indication, it
would be
one of those shows where the onstage heat leaves the crowd staggering
and
soaked with sweat.
