I love PTM. I might go! wish it was a weekend show.

I will be going a few nights later in Boston, but I confess I've never heard their music.  But I like Alberta Cross, who's opening, and lots of good word of mouth for PTM has finally motivated me to get started getting to know them.

I enjoy their stuff....they were really excellent at the Hangout.

What's everyone thinking about the new album?  I dig!

So I've been PTM immersion mode for a few days now.   Man they have a lot of albums! 

If someone knowledgable about the band could give me a few pointers as to which songs are considered the "classics", that'd be very helpful.   Obviously I'll learn the whole new album but trying to digest 6 albums at once is a big bite to swallow... surely there are some oldies that are live staples?

Thanks!   Have not listened to the new album yet but have heard the other 5 at least 3 times through each.   So far I like the Satanist one best.

Here's a few standouts from each album (in my opinion at least, not sure if they're necessarily fan favorites):
Waiter: You Vultures!:
How the Leopard Got its Spots
Kill me. The King
Church Mouth:
Shade
Bellies are Full
Censored Colors:
Colors
1989
The Satanic Satanist:
I can honestly say I love them all of this album (they also have an all-acoustic release for this album that's worth checking out)
American Ghetto:
All My People
1000 Years
As for the new album, well you be the judge!

just got my tix for T5....(oh that's deja-vous-ish)

[smhoffmann02]

So after reading all the good stuff about these guys, I finally took the time to check them out.  You're not kidding - they're good.  Better than good.  I'm only into song 3 or 4 and I already dig their sound.

Argh - looked up their tour schedule and they've already swung through Oregon.  Darn.

[Ruckus]

Was just reading about how they got their van and all their gear stolen at Lollapalooza this weekend.  Really messed up.  I hope they get it all back.

oh man, i read that as well.  totally bummed out for them.   my friend's husband is in a band and the same thing happened to them a few yrs back when they were in florida. 
totally sucks.   >:(

[he.who.forgets]

So, can anyone that's seen the band live give an opinion on their performance? I LOVE this band and watched their streaming set from Lolla yesterday.  Not sure if it was the quality of the broadcast, the sound system or what, but I was just really disappointed.  It just didnt translate very well live to me.  Anyone else watch? Opinions?

[tdb810]

i didn't see the stream, but saw them live at the Hangout Fest in May, and they were Ahhhhhhh-mazing!  Just got my tix to see them in October at T5!
