THE PHANTOM LIMBS - Accept The Juice/Whole Loto Love
Yes, folks, it's finally here! The long awaited CD collection of all limbs 7"s, comp tracks, demos, unreleased tracks and live tracks, plus a DVD spanning the Limbs entire career from 1999 - 2004 with live footage from San Francisco to Berlin to Warsaw and many places in between + oodles of bonus features.
Too many years in the making, this is the definitive document of The Phantom Limbs. Brand New! Not in stores until March!
"The Phantom Limbs are what punk and the New Wave were supposed to be
about in the first place- something new. The first time I saw them, at
Gilman Street, I was stunned- the weirdest band I'd ever seen at the
place and the Gilman punx actually liked them. By the end of the night
they were on our label.
They
asked us to promote them as a goth band, but I sometimes wonder if they
spawned their own genre. The closest reference would be the Screamers,
due to the keyboard-driven mayhem and Hopeless's Tomata- like
ringmastery. But there is more of a classical, harpsichord-y/ Phantom
of the Opera thing going here- like Gilbert & Sullivan gone
horribly terribly wrong. This is tied-to-the-railroad-tracks music at
its finest, like being trapped in a Barbary Coast bordello when the San
Francisco Earthquake hits..."
