Hey friends, go to Creature With the Atom Brains facebook page to get a free download of the first single from their new record. The song is called "Hit the Sky" and it's amazing!!! The label put up the mp3 so everything is official.

I have to say that I thought CWTAB was excellent in Helsinki yesterday. Definitely a very good support for Mark. I'm going to get the new album as soon as it's released. Too bad it isn't available yet as it would've been nice to buy it at the gig.

I'm dying to hear the whole album, can't wait until April. |

Why??? Explain. Maybe Aldo having to play twice every night is taking its toll.

I thought they were really, really good in Bristol, hypnotic riffage that got under my skin. I like them, the vocals suck but the music was fab.

I dont know if you are talking to me or not, but the vocals really killed it for me, the music was ok, yet it just meanders and goes nowhere, I really disliked the vocals very michael stipeish and just not very interesting overall.....I do not know the legend of "aldo" but it was not very impressive at all, what does he do? what instrument is he? is he the singer? what does he do in Marks current lineup? He must be the synth guy? Which during Marks set the synth was overly loud in many spots.....especially since it played such a minimal role in songs like Wedding Dress. I dont know Aldo from a hole in the wall but Creature was quite unimpressive and the synth work was not great......maybe thats the sound engineers fault I dont know and I dont care. It just was not IMO very good. **although the Bass player was QUITE GOOD ! ** |

As for with Mark, this year Aldo not only plays in but he hand picked the entire Mark Lanegan Band. |

thats great and kudos to him, the drummer really struggled thru one song but he was using headphones for alot of the show and there may have been problems, I LOVED Marks guitar player, dude was BADASS, but what does aldo do in MLB man the keys? I am not saying he is not an amazing musician, I am just saying creature with an atom brain was quite boring.

Aldo is playing keys and some guitar, Steven is lead guitar and yeah, he is pretty rad.
I hear what yer saying man, I love Creature but I've never seen them live. The thing I find so strange is all the complaints I've heard about his vocals in a live setting cuz on record he's one of my favourite singers. Aldo's vocals on all of Creatures albums are amazing!

I picked up their album Transylvania last year because it was cheap, they opened for AiC the previous year, and reviews compared them to early QotSA.
Not my thing.
