Motherfathers (Eclectic/Avant) from Moscow

Listening now (to myspace samples), and is my usual style, I'll list off fairly early impressions (actually listened to some it before but I didn't know what to say, still don't )...  kinda punk/ shoegaze/ metal garage I guess.  Primus-like at times.  Damn they are sloppy at times.

Anyway, if you're suggesting this for Avant or Eclectic, I don't really see it fitting  either that well. Being wacky isn't enough for avant of course (in fact it's not necessary at all). I mean sure it has the avant punk element that some avant bands here, but it doesn't seem so experimental to me as, say, The Residents, Boredoms, or Sleepytime Gorilla Museum, but that's a  really weak thing for me to say.  My avant experiences tend to be more of the RIO influenced jazzy variety, and of course I can't speak for ZART (though this band has some jazz element too), so never mind me.

It certainly is eclectic music, but not right for Eclectic in my opinion.

Thanks, this helped expand my musical horizons.  Listened again.

be interested to hear what other people think.

I'll check too for Eclectic, just to have a solid vote on it. 

and wait for my reply...

oh right.

I think Motherfathers are better not added in Eclectic Prog. They got my no anyway.
