Saw them live last Saturday night here in Calgary during the Sled Island Festival. Amazing, amazing show. Not sure if anyone here picked up their disc after JC mentioned in a past Drudion, but they are 10-fold better in person. Every band member in their own Kabuki-styled make-up, two lead singers, and a drummer who has more rhythm than a whole bag of Gershwins. They played a 10 minute+ drum driven hypnotic chant halfway through the set, which I was blown away from, but a drove of hipsters left immediately after (fuck 'em I said). Twas a nice theater they played in, very nice to see shows in.
Here's a clip from when they played Minehead

I've played their record on my show a couple times, but definitely had the suspicion they were more of a "live ritual" thing than a "rock group". The record's not bad, but it feels like "the soundtrack to something more."
