[.ca] The Power of Beef

Pigmy album review:
Well what can I tell you about this album? It friggin rocks! I bought this album about a year ago when Pigmy Love Circus was opening for A Perfect Circle in Denver, CO. The show that night was spectacular and right afterwards I bought the album at the merchandise table. It's heavy, funny, disturbing, and just makes me want to drink. The lead singer is this dude named Mike Savage and that dude is one hell of a storyteller. From voodoo witches to drug runs to murderers, all the way to the end which sounds like last call in a local bar, he weaves a story like it just happened last night. The drummer for the band is this one guy named Danny Carey. If you're a fan of Tool, you probably know that he's also the drummer for those guys as well. But Tool and Pigmy Love Circus are miles apart which I think is great for the Pigmy album which is more straight-forward and thrashing as compared to the more cranial approach used by Tool. Less thinking, more thrashing. Hell yeah. Other members of the ground consist of Shepherd Stevens, Peter Fletcher, and John Ziegler. They round out the group of five with a unending assault of bass and guitars. So what the hell are ya waitin for? Click the buy now button and get on with your greazy life.

Big Block Trucker Punk Trumps Pre-Pacakged Pretty Boys:
The members of Pigmy Love Circus aren't youthful, pretty, or peppy. They're, unhealthy, lowdown, and lumpen. They aren't twenty-something Texas-to-L.A. transplants with visions of MTV Awards dancing in their heads. These guys are just tryin' to get through the day without the voices in their heads taking over. Census data indicates that roughly six hundred thousand people migrate to Co-Dependant California each year. Los Angeles cynics --otherwise known as natives-- know that more and more of these misguided refugees are headed for Hollywood. While thankfully, scores of 'em will end up in scenic Riverside County or other outlying Consolation Prize Communities, far too many will clog the arteries of that already dream-choked amusement park. The question is, how many of the music fans and aspiring rock stars among them can claim familiarity with the impossibly clever, kick-ass, Trucker-Punk of Pigmy Love Circus? How many music scensters, native 'er not, can say they've actually witnessed the wayward wrecking ball of a live Pigmy show, let alone the long history of dastardly rises, disappearances, and nonsensical triumphs of this chain gang of reckless men? Too g-damn few, that's who. There just aren't enough supporters of local music - fans of the Velvet Hammer, the Supersuckers, or System of a Down - who know that members of these bands cite the influence of the Pigmies, or that Tool drummer Danny Carey is the group's Hemi under the hood. That's about to change. The long-awaited Power of Beef CD is a reunion, a parole, a fistful of pain drugs and a boot, stomping on the face of corporate Nerf-Punk. It's a recording that captures the militaristic cartoonishness of the band's charisma and sums up what's most important about real rock 'n roll: Keep it simple, keep it fun, keep it threatening. The bottom line? First buy this record, and then find out where Pigmy Love Circus can, will or might accidentally tour next.

Amazing Album!!!:
When I bought this, I never would have expected it to be this good, I am a Tool Fan, I own nearly every album that has anything to Do with Tool Members, even Skinny Puppy's New CD, Which includes a track with Danny Carrey, called "Use Less" (Also Featuring Wayne Static), Which Reminded Me of The Re-Release of This album, I did Like Pigmy Love Circus before buying this album, I liked them alot actually, but this album really changed the way I look at them, a very talented and Humorous band, the only band I can really compare to PLC is Primus, But they sound nothing alike, Pigmy Love Circus's songs are about Drinking, Hunting, Barfights, RailRoad Tracks,Drug Runs, ETC., Stuff I would prolly never like from a different band. Pigmy Circus seems as if it Consists of What You would prolly call Angry, Drunk Truck Drivers (With Guns), but I don't know the members personally, but they really are great, and I highly recommend this album to any Danny Carey Fan, Because He does an exalent job on this one, and also fans of That Southern Swamp rock-type Music, but If You don't like that Style of Music, don't let it Stop You From Buying it. My Favorite song is prolly "Murderer" or "Drug Run To Fontana", They both completly rock, Sweet Riffs, awesome drumming, Angry, Drunk Truck Driver (With A Gun) Type Vocals. But This whole album is Really Really Good, like "TOOL Good", it is just perfect and it rules, Get It!!!
