It's the drummer from Nick Cave's old band, The Birthday Party - Phill Halvert. Pretty obscure, I think – they don't even have a single review at AllMusic!

Still, I have a copy of their album Flame and it's pretty cool. Imagine, if you will, a cross between Nick Cave and Jon Spencer (minus the ironic B.S., more just the sound of ther Blues X, at times).

Pretty cool.
Anyone else hear them?
What do you think?

Also, if any of you have heard their other albums... are they worth searching out?

I've got Flame, Todd - but only because of one of our previous swaps. It's pretty good. Reminds me of a scrappier Echo and the Bunnymen.

Here is a YSI, if anyone is interested:
"What a Helluva Woman"
http://s50.yousendit.com/d.aspx?id=1N7G ... J2VXTRP80I

Listening to it today and I thought I'd share.
According to some Aussies I know from other boards, this is the biggest "hit" they had (over there).

I will not let this thread die until I know that someone has heard the mp3. And commented.

I am nothing, if not persistent.

Okay, I guess that I can be called "annoying" too.

Usually not my cup of tea - but I have to say - not bad! I can see this working it's way onto some comps. :D


Sweet vindication.
Glad you dug it.
The whole album is pretty damn good.
