Love To Make Noise, Dont We!?



I said the other day that bands with shouty female vocals are my favorite in the spring and summertime yes? Well The Go! Team stands basically atop all other's as my most favorite springtime band, with The New Pornographers coming in at a close second. If you've read anything about The Go! Team you should already know how amazing their live show is and how they sound a bazillion times better live than they do on record. If you haven't had a chance to see or hear them live though you may not know this little secret. When the band plays live, lead singer/rapper Ninja fills most all of the songs with lyrics that dont appear anywhere on the record, and after listening to them live, I find myself singing lyrics to the songs on the album that actually aren't there, it's great! Here's a taste of their onstage greatness.

[MP3]: The Go! Team :: Huddle Formation (Live @ Camden Barfly)
This song is brilliant on record and it's even full of more energy live. With Ninja singing the whole song it makes it ten times more fun to listen to than the original, and now I finally know the lyrics, or at least I think I do. It's incredible how perfect they are live, they manage to replicate their studio perfectly while also sounding larger, louder, and spunkier at the same time. I missed them last time they came through my neck of the woods, there's no way I'm missing them next time.

I have the rest of this show and it's an amzing listen. I'd be glad to post it, so if you'd be interested, leave it in the comments and if enough of you want it, I'll put it up.
