Biography

Weird War began as a supergroup of the Make-Up's Ian Svenonius and Michelle Mae, and Royal Trux's Neil Hagerty after the members' main projects dissolved. Originally, the band, which also included Jessica Espeleta and Steve McCarty, was intended as a one-off project.

5.0 out of 5 stars Good freaky listening, October 22, 2008
This review is from: If You Can't Beat Em Bite Em (Audio CD)
This is very offbeat but great listening. They're a very inventive band musically, some of the lyrics are superb and the album has a really good feel. I've played this dozens of times and thoroughly enjoyed it.

5.0 out of 5 stars Scary stuff, October 12, 2006
This review is from: If You Can't Beat Em Bite Em (Audio CD)
The Weird War's freakiest record. Skuzzy and mean; AK-47, If You Can't Beat Em Bite Em, and Tess, a song about Tess of D'Urbavilles (?) by Thomas Hardy I believe, are my faves. One by One is a recitation of the little Red Book over a beautiful, minor key , pastoral guitar piece. Really moving. The rest is funky scuzz rock for the most part besides Tess which is a Tyrannosaurus REx style bongo piece and maybe the highlight of the album. Get it!

This review is from: If You Can't Beat Em Bite Em (Audio CD)
Beef: the vocals are overwhelmed by the cheap guitar sound. Who mixed this thing?! On the plus side, the songs are great - 9 or ten gems of lyrical wit and funky grooves and psychedelic sonics. They're live show is highly recommended, and will probably make this album make a lot more sense.
