Totally. Most people don't seem to get it, though. One of my favorite bands. Can't wait until Saturday!

I've praised this band from the get go.

Amazing!

Me and Erin were one of 5 people at the Cleveland show since everyone else went to the 911 show to throw bowling balls at eachother.

Those dudes were super stoked and appreciative that we came to see THEM.

And Matthew and Hideo are great dudes all around.

More people need to check 'em out.

Agreed that these guys are great!  Really quite soft spoken guys who just explode when they hit the stage!  And the drummer is one of the best I have ever seen!  Amazing!

The songs on myspace didn't do much for me, but on a stage I'd imagine they totally kill. Never seen Lightning Bolt, who's records leaves me cold, but I'm sure they're an excellent live act.

If you're just guitar and drums you better be doing something mindblowing and this shit is not mindblowing by a long shot.  Oh well.

What shit? If you haven't seen the Birthday Suits, you shouldn't comment. The drummer is definitely "mind blowing," and they don't sound like anyone else out there.

The duo format (guitar/bass + drums) isn't anything new or weird. There's tons of great bands with this configuration. I'd list them, but I am lazy. Haven't heard Birthday Suits, but they can't be any worse than Lightning Bolt. Shit, I mean, wait, what?

Lightning Bolt took on the Boredoms and it ended in a draw. If only the drummer would hit harder.

They will "melt your face" "blow the roof off the joint" "make you shit your pants" "render your erection useless" "cream your jeans" "fuck a chicken twice" and maybe even "smile."
