Nothing to do with Can Can Heads, but this is what came up via a Can Can Heads search, so ... great!
Can Can Heads – “Short Face Man” MP3/download
I still don’t know what to think of this track. Does it need vocals? Hell, does it need to exist?
Yes; YES, I fear, for sometimes it takes tunes like this to knock one out of a rut the size of Lisa Lampanelli’s … well, you get the idea.
Can Can Heads certainly cut to the messy meat of the post-punk matter. It’s like Devo dumbed down to obscene levels and fed through a cleaned-up Okie Dokie song (I love Okie Dok) and sped up thrice-fold. Something like that, right!? I almost feel like I need to lose a little bit of my lunch every time Can Can lunge into their “Short Face Man” routine. Dizzying.
If I remember correctly Cool World (have a release out on one of the Tonstartssbandht family labels; Black Cheeks, I think) slap punk down to size in similar fashion, but other than that examples of good instrumental punk are few and far betwizzle. Most definitely a good thing — I can’t imagine a world where 12 bands sound like this — and yet I can turn my ears away. It’s like “Murderers” with a kickin’ beat, or a Swell Maps cut bled of all vox. I’d mention The Stooges too but why? It’s implied …
Such a pleasure to get compared to those bands.
haha, glad i could be of service. really dug the song, would love to hear more!
