review
"Igor Spectre is everything a rock & roll band should be. 'We Miss The Russians' is that rare album that captures the band's live performance energy well."
-- No-Fi Magazine
"Great album... A masterpiece."
-- Rolando Ramos, Radio Futuro 88.9FM
"Igor Spectre is definitely one of those bands to look out for." Rock City News
I'm super suspicious of how the show turned out, not only because I'm sure the answer is somewhere along the lines of 'bitch'n' but also because I'm curious about Bar Sinister. It sounds like a cool place and I'm sorry I couldn't go. Plan on going back? How'd they treat my boys?
WTF happened to your top friend list? I had to do a double take to make sure I was on the right profile! And the last few comments didn't help either, they seem like spam... then I found posts about the show and was a little relieved.
It's been too long since I've listened to 'We Miss the Russians.' I listened to it this morning and wanted to come tell you that I love 'The Riddle.' The guitar solo is bad ass (love you Brian) and the whole song sends a vibration through me. I, along with many fans (and more of them now!) await the new CD. <3
Crazy mother fuckers. Good show. I'm glad I picked up a CD. Does the Knitting Factory have a rule against violent movements? There wasn't enough flailing around in the crowd. You guys should do a show with Frankenstein. Just 'cause that'd please me.
