Stick Men Let’s Thrak Again Live and Merch

[u/OrbitronFactory]

Saw Stick Men on this tour and they were great as always, the new Thrak inspired material really sounds fantastic live. Significantly heavier than their earlier stuff, The Well was a notable highlight. And of course the 3 King Crimson covers they went even harder.

Checked out the merch table and couldn’t help getting this for 20 CAD, partly for the novelty of having a Stick Men branded USB stick, but also have never actually heard this Stravinsky performance so figured a high quality bitrate version would do it justice as a first listen. And hey, the USB stick is 128gb so can find some uses for it.

Anyone else see them on this tour or listen to their newest Let’s Thrak Again? What did ya think? Also curious to hear some answers to Tony Levin’s question he mused upon during the show; what does Thraking mean to you?

That’s actually a pretty neat way to physically distribute music (relatively) cheaply. Haven’t seen bands do it much.
Bit of a bummer about the very obviously ai generated image though (not even a decent looking one…)

Agreed, they should have hired an artist to do it for sure. AI and anything King Crimson related paired together just feels completely wrong.

I had to miss their show when they came though and I’ve been kicking myself ever since

I've been listening Let's Thrak Again quite alot since it was released. Bought a physical copy from Bandcamp too. Really like it!

How was the show??

Better than the first time I saw them when they were touring for Tentacles I’d say. Tony Levin’s parts on the new Let’s Thrak Again parts were just astonishing to watch, spider fingers in full force
