Les Tueurs De La Lune De Miel / The Honeymoon Killers - Special Manubre

Reviews

"Les Tueurs de la lune de miel" are a funny band. Or, at any rate, they think they're funny, just like they think they make music.

There are three tall musicians (sic) and three middle-sized musicians among the "Tueurs de la lune de miel". Generally, short people are mean, ugly and smart as monkeys, and the tall ones are slender and foppish, but not very clever. With "les Tueurs", it's the opposite; unless it's the contrary.

The guitarist (Gerald!) has a horrible sound, everyone tells him so, but he thinks they're just teasing him. The difference between what he thinks he plays and what he really plays is pathetic (in my opinion).

The bass player is so out of tune that, for a long time, people believed that he was one song ahead of the others. The drummer (Jean-François) is so deaf that they have to mime the pieces for him, which adds a dramatic dimension to the already abnormally unbearable stage presence of the "Tueurs"

The sax and the trumpet play in such an incontrollable and weird manner that each one of them thinks he plays what the other does, it's so appalling that one hesitates to dwell on this longer.

As for the guitarist-saxophonist-singer (!), Yvon, he's the wicked inspirer of the band. Without him, the "Tueurs" would have renounced their misdeeds, to the great relief of all honest belgian citizens. without his evil influence, the other members of the band would never have gone down the slippery path of musical delinquence.

Save civilization! don't buy the album by the "Tueurs de la lune de miel" !
