In The Meantime and In Between Time
Posted on October 06, 2004
A big smile on my face today when I learned SNFU recently played a cd
release party in Vancouver celebrating their tenth album, In The Meantime
and In Between Time.
Sample mp3 *Cheap Transistor Radio
For those scratching their head, SNFU is one of Canada's longest running punk rock acts. I saw them live in 1996, and clearly remember how the bass player hung his instrument just above his ankles, and how crazy Mr. Chi Pig (singer) looked when he climbed this tower structure on the side of the stage when they preformed Fate (Real Video). I still get chills listening to that song.
I don't know who comes up their album and song names, but they're bloody clever. And if you take a look throughout this here weblog, you may find a few shameless hidden references. A few favorites,
If You Swear, You'll Catch No Fish
Better Than A Stick in the Eye
Something Green and Leafy This Way Comes
Better Than Eddie Vedder
Don't Have The Cow
Reality is a Ride on the Bus
G.I. Joe Gets Angry With Human Kind
The Quest For Fun
Michelle Pfeiffer's Diaper
You Make Me Thick
He's not getting older, he's getting Bitter
Canadian music is often overlooked in the American market, and when fake, overproduced crap (Avril Lavigne et al) makes it into the mainstream it really makes me wonder. Know that there are many real musicians in Canada, SNFU's just one of many.

Update: Having a hard time finding this album here, so if anyone from the band is reading this I'd sure appreciate a copy to review in full.
