I've not seen them live yet but even so, they're probably the only 'alternative' band I can think of at the moment that genuinely excite me. Maybe it's because they sort of remind me of a really early Amon Duul (who I also love) and, let's face it, you don't often get to say that about a band these days.
As for the pretentious thing, yeah, they are. But then this is a board dedicated to Sonic Youth, who aren't exactly Slade, are they?
