Topic: Fabulous Disaster


In the News (Thu 16 Feb 12)

  
  village voice > music > by Frank Kogan
Fabulous Disaster sing self-consciously early-'80s-sounding-mid-'60s-ish harmonies that they put to a late-'70s fast punk march beat and to fast Ramonesy power chords.
Fabulous Disaster are just one of a slew of mostly female mostly good mostly retro punk bands I've been enjoying lately.
Like the Fab Disasters, these women have "style" as well as a style—though with a discrepancy between the two, since the guitarist is playing a Pistols-Buzzcocks buzzsaw while the singer glides by in her limo, polishing her Debbie Harry sheen.

 Splendid E-zine reviews: Fabulous Disaster
This becomes especially impressive when you learn that this is Fabulous Disaster's first official release after being together for little more than two years.
It should be noted, however, that the women of Fabulous Disaster are far from novices in musical mayhem; they boast ex-members of Fiction, Piston and Inside Out.
Lyrically, Fabulous Disaster partially nixes the usual punk-girls-trying-to-be-tough subject matter of angst and anger.

 Delusions of Adequacy Reviews - Fabulous Disaster   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-16)
Freed from the pressures of false hype, Fabulous Disaster kick grungy-pop punk back to its halcyon days, when the three-chord chorus ruled, the only bad political lines were sarcastic, and there was no such thing as the token slow song.
Fabulous Disaster is the chick band that even the chick-band-hating guy can dig.
Although the lyrics tend to be pretty shallow, each song zips by with a kind of playful mockery so that Panty Raid never sinks into the pit of mawkish arrogance that traps so many of Fabulous Disaster’s fellow pop-punkers.

 Fabulous Disaster: Put Out or Get Out Aversion.com Review
While the four ladies in Fabulous Disaster make no bones about their preference for sharing their beds with other ladies, the act never stoops to using its sexuality as a gimmick to rope listeners in.
Where the Donnas spent their formative years working their Lolita angle (so well that many horny rock journalists overlooked how unimpressive their sound really was), Fabulous Disaster isn’t wasting its time working out gimmicky angles for its music.
With the anonymity of overblown, over-amplified guitar and chain-gun snare beats, Fabulous Disaster plays a sound that’s a generic knock-off of most of the punk acts coming out of the East Bay Scene.

Exodus could never claim to have pushed the thrash metal envelope, but they always managed to knock out a few catchy, if frothingly aggressive metal tunes amidst all the daft posturing and live perfrormances marred by crowd violence.
Fabulous Disaster is Exodus 3rd and best album.
The album is constantly heavy as hell, but the band add some variety ranging from the frantic speed of Verbal Razors to the epic Like Father, Like Son, while Cajun Hell adds a bluesy swamp feel to the metal, and Toxic Waltz's...

"Fabulous Disaster" is without a doubt thier finest album, home in particular to the mind numbingly stoopid and yet irresistable ode to moshing, "The Toxic Waltz".
The performanes are without fail tight and powerful, the bands guitar duo, the infamous "H-Team" in particular seem to lack the ability to pick up a guitar without spinning off a monstrously great riff,or five.
The album is constantly heavy as hell, but the band add some variety ranging from the frantic speed of Verbal Razors to the epic Like Father, Like Son, while Cajun Hell adds a bluesy swamp feel to the metal, and Toxic Waltz's hilarious dance lyrics are only intensified by the savage riffing of the band.

Meanwhile, way down south in Tucson, Ariz., tumbleweeds blew across the bare floor of all-ages venue Skrappy’s as Fabulous Disaster (four women from San Francisco fully capable of eating The Donnas alive… nudge, nudge) played an unheralded opening slot in front of an embarrassingly small crowd.
Fabulous Disaster have toured Japan with the Dickies, rocked the UK with the Ataris and terrorized Colorado with NOFX… they’re not new to this whole punk rock thing.
Melodic without affecting the commercial sheen of suck, their songs (mostly culled from the new Panty Raid LP on Pink and Black Records) were attacked as if the world were watching, not just a few scattered kids and the Sunday night crew of a nearby Pier 1 Imports.

Denise Clarke's A Fabulous Disaster is so charming, so exuberant, and so damn loving that I just couldn't help myself.
But suffering wildlife and ecological disasters provide potent parallels to her grief.
And there's an untameable, wordless sorrow to the physical expression that seeps into every crevice of the dazzling text; she is lost in the middle of a forest fire, hoping to save a "grizz", but wearing a paper suit and apparently doomed to die.

The song isen’t catchy in any way and the solo is almost a disaster so I can give it a higscore.
Starts with chunky riffing followed by drums, has a catchy verse and the chorus is more than great and the guitarsolo is good.
This song is not as fast as Fabulous Disaster but has it has more sound of heavy metal than thrash metal.

 The Collegian Online: Commentary: NHL lockout - the fabulous disaster   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-16)
To fully understand this recipe for disaster, let’s sift through the melting pot of proposals and counter-proposals, of miscom-munications and rumors, of doomsday rheto-ric and possibly-but-maybe-not-exactly drop-dead dates, to the earliest formal negotiations between the two sides after the lockout was officially announced.
This is not, of course, to say that the NHL’s failure had any significant impact on the sports world at large.
The typical American sports fan regarded the disaster with the air of a passing motorist at the site of an enormous car wreck; though in this case, there wasn’t even the obligatory craning of the neck—only a fleeting curiosity, at best.

 Fabulous Disaster: Panty Raid! Aversion.com Review
Sure things are a bit different today (it’s Vagrant bands that the hippest copycats blatantly rip off these days), but, really, those long-gone days of pop punk aren’t forgotten: Fabulous Disaster is a tribute to them.
With a seemingly endless supply of punk cliché from which to be inspired, the San Francisco band will help you grow out of punk a song at a time.
It’s just that virtually everyone has heard these songs done before in one form or another, and in many cases, as with the Lagwagon and NOFX songs that inspire Fabulous Disaster, they were done a lot better the first few times we heard them.

Decades after the Runaways secured their sphere of influence, members of today's leading all-female rock groups still prefer the naughty-girl outfits and pop-punk riffs that Joan Jett and Lita Ford pioneered.
Fabulous Disaster seems more mature than its peers, with teen angst giving way to adult lust and sharp riffs taking the place of simpler chord progressions.
But it's Fabulous Disaster's ability to replicate that urgency on stage, even when singing lyrics that belie its tuff-girl image (Sitting in my room thinking of you/Half bottle of gin for a heart cut in two), that makes its members the new queens of noise.
