Don’t Fuck With The Horse
May 6th, 2010
Haven’t heard me yappin’ about PartMan PartHorse for awhile? Well, lucky for you, the band—er, frontdude Gary Smith rather, is doin’ aaaaaaaalllll the yappin’ necessary in this new “incendiary” video for “Emerald City Dollar Bin”. It’s a new song from their upcoming third record Emerald City Dummies, which will be released June 11 via GGNZLA Records. The song is—how should we say—an “indictment”, albeit a cheeky one, against a slew of local bands that may or may not be friends with PMPH. I’m guessing the former, BUT YA NEVA KNOW.

So let’s see, who all does Mr. Smith incriminate in this homemade slideshow of hilarious still photos? Well, there’s: the Saturday Knights, HLAK, Idle Times, Red Sea Sharks, Fleet Foxes, Mad Rad (“just a stupid fad”), the Moondoggies, TacocaT, the Dead Science, the Dutchess and the Duke (“make me wanna puke”), Kinski, Past Lives, Broken Knives, Police Teeth, Man Plus, Chk Minus, Helms Alee, AFCGT, Team Gina, Akimbo, Mt. St. Helens Vietnam Band (who are “bland”, apparently), Blue Scholars, Skullbot, Minus the Bear, and Natalie Portman’s Shaved Head. So, in theory, if your band made this list, the beef has officially been broughten.

Musically, PMPH has about 20 songs that are better than this one, but the comedic finger-pointing is pure gold. Would we expect anything less from these party-punk brats? The release show for Emerald City Dummies is June 11 at the Funhouse.

It’s kinda a toss-up. I can see PMPH hating on Fleet Foxes and HLAK, D & the D for their involvement with “the MAN” but TacocaT? Team Gina? MSHVB? Maybe this is a list of local bands who are all decidedly more successful, albeit somewhat. less interesting.
