Mothfight: the best band in Austin Texas that you haven’t heard a lot about...yet. Take notice:
Mothfight is a hugely arranged band with intricate multi-vocals that top off a mountain of vaudevillian tribal beats and meticulous whirlwind walls of noise. Bigger sounding than Arcade Fire and more listenable than Animal Collective; Mothfight is about to take America by storm. By the end of July this post will look silly next to the accolades the theatrical group will be recieving. The thematic brilliance of Mothfight will have taken off and hordes of fans will be swarming to get their hands on the upcoming 7" inch and avant-garde "infinite playing cassette". How will this experimental technological oddity be conducted? Magic.
Please enjoy these Mothfight digital songs. Fire up the victrola, turn up the volume all the way, and listen over and over and over again.

Yeah, who does that Jamesish think he is? Bastard.Great music, I like the 'Pt. 2' thing.

I think Jamesish was saying "this is the shit" and wondering about how John happened to be the person who "broke" this band

This story sounds convincingly! I agree with you in this case.

I’m understanding you, but I’m not agreeing with you. But anyway I’m sorry that I don’t know the right thing to do in that situation
