Ringo Deathstarr at DC9
I hope that Ringo Deathstarr were going for the discothèque look on purpose. This couldn't possibly have been an accident.
The disco look is not the least bit suited to the band's music. Okay, sometimes they get a little funky but just a smattering here and there. More of their songs are either in a dream-pop vein or a more vicious alt-hard rock style (seeing as how we're breaking out the foreign characters today, think Hüsker Dü?) All of it distorted and twisted a bit too far for comfort. Let me put it this way, one of their new songs is called "Chainsaw Morning". In the song they keep chanting that phrase, not in a harsh way, but it's dang unnerving. Can you think of a pleasant interpretation of that lyric? Me either.
So yeah, the disco look is all wrong for them. They need something more melancholy and seedy. Perhaps a horror-movie set?
