The Faint, Not the Faint
God's Gang/Broken Spindles-10/23/05, The Echo
God's Gang had a rocky start, their little, blonde guitar drummer kept laughing at herself while she was reading something unintelligible from some huge book, trying to set the mood. Then she went over and picked up her guitar and the drums and synth kicked in. In the end God's Gang was like some beautiful guy that almost gets you off, but then finishes right before he does. Their music stayed on one level and never quite had a crescendo. Maybe if they had brought the interpretive dancer back… Broken Spindles were okay. After all they hype about them not being the Faint they actually did sound like a striped down version of the Faint. Less dance, more punk? If anything, Joel Peterson proved he had an inkling of stage presence as a front man, but in the end a band with two members form the Faint is still going to sound kinda like the Faint.
