Default ratatat

ok i picked up on these guys a while back. i saw them live and it was an amazing show. they have 2 cds, classics and ratatat. i prefer the self titled but they are b oth AMAZING. its 2 guitars with plenty of layers and whatnot, really bad ass stuff. recommend starting with the songs "seventeen years" "cherry" and "nostrand".

they have a myspace page
www.myspace.com/ratatatmusic

they dont have lyrics, but seperate from their albums they make guitar licks using rappers lyrics. (what do you expect from ny)

Get their ratatat remix volumes 1 and 2. It's their music mixed with the vocals of rappers like notorious, kayne, and Memphis bleek. Those two albums really opened up hip hop to me.

I've heard both of their albums and thought they were decent enough, but when I saw them at Coachella they were pretty lackluster. Saw them again a week or two ago opening for Daft Punk and they almost put me to sleep. Can't say I like them very much anymore.

No it's because I don't like the band. I can go and post threads about bands I do enjoy if you want.
