The Garden, a PJ Harvey Discussion Site

Anyone into their stuff and this genre as a whole? I'm guessing so if we like our dark alt rock with PJ.

I've been listening to 'Nude With Boots' by Melvins today. It really is like a master class in heavy guitar riff music. Its wicked. Nice bass driven Sludge/Stoner sound - I dont think that means all that much but I'm very impressed all the same! They remind me a bit of Mastodon which are another fantastic band.

Im quite obsessive about Kyuss too with 'One Inch Man' being quite a favourite: I love the groove to it. Makes me want to dance straight away.lol

Enjoy and nice weekends one and all

I've always liked The Melvins although I never really considered them "stoner rock" (maybe if I smoked more ) Saw them with Nirvana a "few" years ago.
I listen to QOTSA and have tried checking out Kyuss but didn't care much for them.

Finally saw the Melvins last month; they borrowed folks from Modest Mouse and played with 4 sets of drums at the end, sounded great!

Awesome! Did they play mainly off their latest album? Yeah they are quite famous for all the drums arent they! Wicked

There was quite a few I didn't recognise, take it that was their latest album, can't find a setlist. The guys from Mudhoney were down the front listening too. I did one shaky video, always good sound on the stage there http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PM9PYqw0fMM

I like QotSA and the Heads from that genre too, the latter are very underrated.
