Dmonstrations - Night Trrors. Shock!
Reviewed by jerk
Dmonstrations create spastic, unpredictable, creative music somewhere between no-wave and math-rock. The lyrics are sometimes nonsensical but when considered a part of the whole, they back up the ludicrous nature of the music. Tetsunori Tawaraya wails on top of the disjointed song fragments while the other band members try their hardest to sound like the contents of a guitar store falling down a set of stairs. I’m oversimplifying things; a few of the songs are rather accessible. For instance, “Hair Pretzel” and “S.B.C.” could easily play on the most conservative college radio station but that still won’t help you make sense of the lyrics. If you like your rock and roll odd but energetic (Think Deerhoof and Ex-Models), you’ll enjoy Night Trrors, Shock! [www.myspace.com]
