Agent Orange

[coldfingaz]

Caught these guys last night at the Mercury Lounge in NYC. They still sound & play pretty great even though the last time I saw them was the summer of '88 at the old 9:30 Club. They have a new drummer that was real good. Was shocked to see them cover the Dead Kennedy's "Police Truck". Kind of surreal seeing a swirling pit in the middle of the floor most of the night.

Really? Agent Orange? They do anything off "This is the Voice"?

 

[Phil M]

I like them! Haven't heard or thought about them in years though ...

 

[Luke]

To quote them....

they can make things worse for me,
sometimes id rather die
they can tell me lots of things,
but i cant see eye to eye
i know they know the way i think,
know they always will
someday im gonna change my mind,
sometimes id rather kill

blood stains, speed kills
fast cars, cheap thrills
rich girls, fine wine
ive lost my sense, ive lost control, ive lost my mind

things seem so much different now, the scene has died away
i havent got a steady job and ive got no place to stay
well its a, futuristic modern word,
things arent what they seem,
someday youd better wake up
from this stupid fantasy

blood stains, speed kills
fast cars, cheap thrills
rich girls, fine wine
ive lost my sense, ive lost control, ive lost my mind

(solo)

blood stains, speed kills
fast cars, cheap thrills
rich girls, fine wine
ive lost my sense, ive lost control, ive lost my mind

We played with them in Denver a few months ago. They still rule. Great guys, to boot.

yea, what he said. This one cover that is always guaranteed to get the crowd moving.

I kill spies!

Great! I've never stopped listening to them since the skater days back in 87. They put out a live album that had Police Truck on it.

Put on "No Such Thing. " Still sounds great. Mike Palm is a great guitarist and songwriter.

Love 'em. Their version of Pipeline kills. Glad to see they are still around.

So, the skater days were back in 87' ??? aw man, I so didn't get that memo .....

 

[Frankee]

Blast from the past.

That YT video takes me way back.

 

[A-Bone]

They are a great, great band. Always nice to be reminded of them.

 

[AL30]

Did a show with them several years back. Great live band and a really nice bunch of guys.

[Grassroots]

At least my skater days were back in the 87 era.

 

[Victor R]

I Kill Spies is epic!!

 

[The Golden Boy]

It was such an awesome thing to have Mike have played Bloodstains (and Electric Storm) on my guitar... Feb 93:

(funny thing- for like 4-5 times they came through town I was in an opening band for them 3-4 different bands over a 5-6 year time frame)
