A Malthus Night Out

[The Larch]

I'm officially jealous, man.  I first learned about this band some years ago in Hungary through their song Wonderlust King (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=elyQ4ShVw-Y), and have been following them for a while. I'll probably see them live for the first time this summer in a festival in Portugal, and their "Super Taranta!" record is most probably on my Cd player back at home.

Can your friend get band freebies? 

Oh, and btw, this is the wiki page of the violin player in the band.

Heh, she gets freebies all the time - usually stuff designed to shock her a bit (I think Eugine kinda gets off on doing that to her, to be frank). Last time he was in Toronto, he gave her a dress with the band's name on in and a picture that, when looked at closely, displays a pic of a deer having oral sex with a hunter - if you knew this woman, you'd know why this was funny (she's extremely MILF-y, but very proper - big in Ukranian-Canadian cultural circles, "arty" but there is no way in hell she'd actually wear a dress like that in public).

If you get a chance, do see them live; lots of fun.

Well, they have a fan here, so if she can convince her to send something this way, it'd be more than welcome.

Malthus, btw, you should listen to a side project of the band, called J.U.F. (standing for Jewish Ukranian Friendship or something like that). 

Heh, we talked about that briefly; part of this guy's philosophy, at least from what I've heard, is the attempt to embrace his ethnic heritage without falling victim to the historical European trend of ethno-nationalism - thus to specifically embrace all of those aspects that give ethno-nationalists hives (Gypsy, Jew, etc.). Apparently, Eugine is himself part-gypsy, but didn't know it until he was older.

Of course, as an ethnic Jew married to a Ukranian nationalist, this has resonance with me, and I said so.

In case you're interested, he has also participated in (or made it himself, I don't know) a documentary called "The pied piper of Hutzovina", about a trip he made to Ukraine. Fragments of it are used in the video I linked in my first post. Think like the first part of Borat, only in a serious mood.

How willing are you to wear a beastiality dress?

He does sorta resemble Borat, what with that funky 'stache of his.

Me, not very much, but I have a friend who wouldn't have a problem.

I passed a link to this thread onto a friend who is a mega fan by the way. He said something to the effect of "Jealousy^12, 'i'd suck eugenes cock if he asked me to' he's an idol".

Its weird really. Everyone likes different things and people always seem to get adventures in the domain of other people. Adventures which make other people insanely envious.

Heh, that's true enough.

There were certainly groupies enough seemingly intent on said cock-sucking/idolitary at the concert - the security guards were busy chucking them out as they tried to sneak backstage. We didn't get chucked exactly because we didn't look like fans.

Looking back, though I've not told my wife this, I think her friend and Eugene had some sort of long-standing romantic thing going in the past, and that's why she invited us (so no possibility of actual hanky-panky) but did not take her husband (too awkward).

Actually, until I got to talking with the violin guy, I was horribly embarrased by the whole thing. I didn't know these people and they had no reason to want to know me. Who was I to impose on them, right after their concert? I just wanted to go home - I was tired, and had to work the next day. Only I couldn't just go, because I was the friend's ride.

To their credit, they could not have been more friendly and inclusive. I left thinking they were all real gentlemen.

I always figured a Malthus night out would be sit back with some friends, have a few drinks, and watch a population explode beyond it's environmental carrying capacity and suffer famine.

You're thinking Malthusian.

I can do all that while listening to music.

For European fans, they'll be playing in France in the coming weeks (and in Bilbao in July).

Sounds like my house. The fridge is EMPTY.

After listening through some of their stuff on youtube I realized I´d rather listen to Britney Spears greatest hits. Maybe this is one of those groups that are better live.
