thanks faggot!!
Originally posted by manimtired:speaking of kinda harsh, geesh…at least Rhett was funny. Perhaps we all take ourselves just a tad too seriously on this board. Can we at least keep derogatory name calling to a classy minimum. For example, "Mankie, stop ragging on the name of my girlfriend's band, you ignorant twat". See, now that's classy.
thanks faggot!!
I don't see anything wrong with the name "Exit Clov" One could do a helluva lot worse naming a band…plenty of 80's British bands did…
Exit Clov is a bit pretentious…… makes me think their music will be absurdist and about as much fun as wathing a game of chess.
original intent: fire theft
having heard nothing from them but plenty from SDRE I'd expect the show attendance to be…low? Also would presume the songs to be guitar heavy.

it aint half as pretentious as "cooper temple clause". or "my name is kloot"
Is the "o" in "Clov" long or short?

"My Name is Kloot" must come from that Jane Fonda movie.

The Fire Theft is Jeremy Enigk, William Goldsmith and Nate Mendel (still of the Foo Fighters of course), but â??The Fire Theftâ?? isnâ??t another â??Diaryâ?? â?? this is about as far away from Sunny Day Real Estate as you could get without having the trio resort to anti-folk. Enigkâ??s vocals remain the same â?? sky-high but dripping with more passion than any of the emo bands that SDRE spawned could ever hope for â?? but musically â??The Fire Theftâ?? is awash with shades of Pink Floyd, The Beach Boys (seriously!), and Janeâ??s Addiction.
Basically itâ??s perfect pop-rock, albeit coupled with a level of prog inflences. The likes of â??Oceans Apartâ?? and â??Carry Youâ?? are a little too prog for some tastes, but the stirring strings at the end of the latter track will soon have you forgiving Enigk and co for their obvious love of seventies pomp-rock, as will the piano-led outro to final track â??Sinatraâ??. Elsewhere, â??Summertimeâ?? is as perfect as itâ??s title suggests â?? shimmering Brian Wilson-like pop that tugs lightly at the heart without ever quite going for the kill. Some early songs bear an unfortunate resemblance to Savage Garden, but this can be overlooked as a fault; the band are clearly not trying to hide their pop aspirations, and Savage Garden were a decent enough pop act, even if only to your mum (and mum knows best, by the way).
Enigk remarked recently that â??The Fire Theftâ?? is â??really darkâ?, but itâ??s full of more hope than any other debut this reviewer has heard in some time. Yes, this is partially due to the trioâ??s obvious experience, but itâ??s also down to the fact that you simply wonâ??t hear another record like this all year â?? classic pop with a killer twist. Difficult to digest at first it may be, especially for hardcore SDRE fans, but given time youâ??ll find â??The Fire Theftâ?? a most delectable dish.

I think band names should be symbolic of the band members, but at the same time, really make you think. Gorky's Zygotic Mynci, Big Ass Truck, Exit Clov….some simple, some not. The Tyde?
Sure, refrencing a character from a Beckett play in your name could be seen as pretentious, but what would that have to do with the music? And i know for a fact in this case, the band likes to keep people thinking, and they do succeed in doing that with their music. And their band name…
What is that they about a book and its cover?

The Tyde?
Exit Clov, now knowing that it is a Beckett reference, makes me think the music will be full of negative spaces and experimental….
