BigBanonos Favorite Songs by Weird War
Updated 2005 with “See About Me” from Illuminated By The Light. Highlights and #NotOnSpotify picks below:
“See About Me” (2005) - A groovy, swaggering track from Illuminated By The Light, showcasing Weird Wars funy, off-kilter approach to rock. Led by Neil Michael Hagerty (Royal Trux), the band blends sleazy glam with sharp, politically charged lyrics.
Bonus: Joanna Newsom, Smog & Weird War – “Ring The Living Bell” (Live at Bowery Ballroom, 2004)
And thanks to BigBanonos and his wonderful uploading, we have one of the best live recordings ever: Joanna Newsom, Smog (Bill Callahan), and Weird War performing a super funcover of Melanies Ring The Living Bell at the Bowery Ballroom in 2004.
Band Info
Weird War – A continuation of the chaotic, freewheeling energy of Royal Trux and The Make-Up, Weird War was formed by Neil Michael Hagerty, Ian Svenonius, and Michelle Mae. Their music blends funy rhythms, psychedelic flourishes, and biting social commentary, making them one of the most unpredictable acts of the early 2000s.
