Mahjongg

SYRFox · 03.18.2008, 03:48 PM

These guys seriously kick major ass! They are so crazy, they just seem to be completely free of any musical genre. Their new album drives me mad, especially Kottbusser Torr, the mix of the vocals and dephased rythmic catches me. Problems is just amazing too.

Anyone else into them?

they were supposed to play my neck of the woods awhile ago but things got screwed up w/ the promoter and venue so they never made it, don't know much about them, i was to open for them too...

Well, I was going to go see them but it's the same night I'm going to SY, so no dice.

atsonicpark · 03.21.2008, 06:51 AM

very interesting stuff...

reminds me of the band dynamite club..

dnorsen · 03.21.2008, 12:12 PM

just saw them at sxsw and they were really, really fuckin' good. double drummer action. met one of the members briefly, nice dude!

SYRFox · 03.21.2008, 01:09 PM

I'd like to see them live, they must really rock

EMMAh · 03.21.2008, 01:27 PM

I thought this was about a game, I was mistaken.

atsonicpark · 03.30.2008, 11:55 PM

yeah i've been wearing their album and ep out.

It's seriously identical to Dynamite Club - it's deeper than most people actually think mixed with Mong Hang or something. That's actually a perfect description if you're familiar with those artists.

Good shit, interesting use of electronics and drums... very rewarding and interesting music.

Just seen them live, they were mindblowing. They played a lot of new songs, and they sold a homemade CD-R (each one has a different cover!) with 7 new songs. I bought it and I'm listening to it now, it sounds really great.

Mahjongg isn't music, IT'S A CHINESE GAME.

This belongs in Non-Sonics.

You were correct.

atsonicpark · 08.08.2009, 06:54 AM

I saw em live too, a little over a year ago. Good set.

atsonicpark · 07.07.2010, 06:34 AM

Listening to mahjongg - the long shadow of the paper tiger (k, 2010).

Excellent! Their best yet!

atsonicpark · 07.07.2010, 06:36 AM

This new one reminds me of if !!! got ahold of a bunch of fucked up synthesizers, and still had Dynamite Club's sense of structure and sense of humor. Much better produced than the last few. Lots of really awesome things going on .

SYRFox · 07.07.2010, 06:52 AM

Can't wait to hear it. I've got a tour EP CD-R which I bought on their summer tour last year which contains most of the new songs in demo version and they were all fucking amazing. Can't wait to hear how they sound produced, there was a lot, lot, lot of potential in there.

SYRFox · 07.22.2010, 05:10 AM

This new album is fucking awesome!! I've been listening to the demos of these songs for a year, thinking that they had the potential to make a killer album, and here it is! The production is perfect! I love it! Whoop is a song that wasn't on the demo CD-R I have, and it's just as excellent. Miami Knights and Grooverider Free sound soooooo good now. Pure greatness.

atsonicpark · 07.22.2010, 06:34 AM

yeah I like it a lot definitely
