BACK FROM THE DEAD (LIKE JESUS)
This band is why I play bass; this band is maybe why I play
music in general.
Guitar? We don't need no stinking guitar. The most kick ass
music ever made with just bass and drums. Drummer (Sebastien) taking the role
of singer and Bassist (Jesse) taking the role of Bass God (with some keyboards
here and there). It's like... what are you even doing rest of the music industry?
While there are bassists who honestly argue and care about
whether or not it's ok to play bass with a pick. Ahhh, retards I think they are
called. DFA1979 transcends these mortal stupidities. They are so great they
actually broke up after only 5 years, 1 ep, 1 album, and 1 remix album. For
they knew their work on this planet was already accomplished. 5 more years
passed and the world was crumbling kinda like in that movie 2012, the main
reason obviously being not enough people learned of and appreciated DFA1979.
Obviously being loving and merciful gods, Sebastien and
Jesse decided to give the world one more chance to save itself. Now back with a
vengeance.
The only regret I ever had in my life was not seeing them
live, back when their break-up seemed permanent. A regret I got to correct and
make my life whole again... catching one of their first shows (in San
Francisco) after their reunion was announced.
Words can't even describe what I witnessed... it's as if
they were harnessing the forces of nature, just because. The coastal winds were
blowing all of us away, but then again it may also have just been the POWERFUL
music.
Either way it's obvious these two are wizards, and their
music is the resulting magic.
Stop donating to your religion, it has enough golden
temples. Stop donating to charities that only give 1% to their supposed cause,
the rest to marketing and their bank accounts. If you are one of the truly
worthy think of owning these and future albums as a stepping stone on your path
to enlightenment.
HAZZAH, DFA IS BACK!
