Suckers Seek a Wild and Imaginative Musical Landscape...
The experimental side of indie pop has gotten a nice little creative boost lately, thanks, in part, to the artistic contributions of bands such as Brooklyn's own Animal Collectiveand Portland's Menomena. Tack another "Made in New York" outfit on this short list of artists challenging the sonic limits of modern day indie pop. Comprised of Quinn Walker, Austin Fisher, Brian Aiken, and mystery man Pan, Suckers offer indefinable and stunningly unpredictable fare that ranges anywhere on the sonic scope between sedate guitar songs and crunchy, erratic drones. It is a new musical landscape that Suckers have set out to find; one that lies beyond the fringes of more traditional pop, psychedelia, noise, and folk music. Packing their knapsacks with a wild assortment of ambient guitar work, ritualistic percussion, wolf pack vocals, and a variety of other knick knacks (organs, keys, horns, etc), Suckers set up camp in a manic, yet wildly imaginative place where pop music is contrived of equal parts melody and dissonance; a place where musical limits do not account for much. - David Pitz

NEW HAVEN ADVOCATE: Suckers
With The Silent Years. March 28, 9 p.m. at Cafe Nine, 250 State St., New Haven. (203) 789-8281, cafenine.com.
Though the members of the indefinable “experimental pop” band Suckers are all from Connecticut, it’s rare for them to leave Brooklyn and play in these parts. And you can’t really check them out other than at live shows. They don’t have any CDs. They didn’t even have a drummer until about a month ago—until they hired Brian Aiken (formerly of area electro/jam/art-rock group Eschellon), the duty of hitting a drum while playing another instrument was traded off among members Quinn Walker, Austin Fisher and Pan.
But even if they had a CD, you couldn’t substitute it for the real deal. You can take Walker’s solo releases (one of which recently got him signed to CoCoRosie’s Voodoo-EROS label) as reference, since Suckers regularly play songs from them. The melodies are infernally memorable, but the adaptation to a live performance tends to eliminate electronic rhythms and other effects that play a big part in the recorded versions. Then there’s the band’s live energy and Walker’s intense jungle scream, which he doesn’t do on his solo discs.
The rest of Suckers’ vocals tend to alternate between jubilant falsettos and low drunken moans reinforced by echo. The resulting sonic up-and-down is kind of like staring at a swinging pocket watch. A psychic beam enters your brain and forces you to enjoy the performance on a strangely personal level.?

Thank you APOLLO GIZE to SUN JESUS SHINES BRIGHT for the videos and your comment on my blog which you like.
I also would like to say, regarding those videos, that i believe in the presence of satan, a beautiful angel created and loved by God, but who became proud and jaleous of God at some point, jaleous of Jesus the second Person of the Trinity, and wants to take His Place and be worshiped as a god. Satan is a fallen angel and a very clever spirit. His main aim has always been and still is to sow confusion and tempt humans to worship him: a created spirit angel, instead of God the Creator: Jesus the second Person of the Trinity through Whom all things were made as stated in the BIBLE, THE BOOK OF REVELATION regarding who God is: HUMILITY, PURITY, SERVICE and LOVE and what God wants: HUMILITY, PURITY, SERVICE and LOVE
Wrong and evil is the idea, in pagan religions, to worship the creation: stars, planets, astrological signs, animals, trees, plants, symbols, myths, legends, angels or self worship such as worship of human beings, gurus who claim to have magical powers, fallen angelic satanic, occult, hidden, secretive, forbidden powers which lead souls to pride rather than humble service and love.
Wrong and satanic is the idea to practice witchcraft, magick as preached in ancient Egypt, all pagan religions and all new age masonry cults whose main goal is to revive and make known in our christian western world today the secretive and forbidden satanic serpent power or kundalini energy.
I give you as an example of this the practice of TRANSEndantal meditation, kundalini yoga, the publication of books such as Harry Potter, witchcraft. Behind IDOLATRY hides the presence of the fallen angel Lucifer. When we practice any form of witchcraft, when we worship the sex god baal, pornography, fornication, debauchery, kama sutra, when we bow down to created things, myths and the power of angels rather than the LOVE of God, we worship in fact satan.
