Cibo Matto
Fred Boak
Just wanted to let any of you who caught the really cool duo
"Cibo Matto" warm-up for TMBG last summer or fall know that
they (that would be "Cibo Matto") have a brand-new full-length
CD out. It is called "VIVA! La Woman", and is on Warner Bros.
Records, co-produced by Mitchell Froom.
A pretty rocking CD. Highly recommended to G'ints fans.

By the way, do you guys know that "Cibo Matto" means "Mad [crazy] Food" in
Italian?

Well, I myself am not too thrilled with them (bad memories of the Boston
pre-show), but this is a nice tidbit of trivia for you.

: you can't mean the same Cibo Matto that got laughed/booed off the stage
: at the Academy, NYC on 4/1/95?
Yep, that very same Cibo Matto. I can't believe it myself. Every
music mag I read loves Cibo Matto. Either the country has gone mad or
they're a HELL of a lot better on record. Unlikely, though. Ack.
Thhppttt.
Why can't Band of Weeds, the other (and incredible) opening act that
night get a full lenght album? Or at least a follow up HELLO disc...

Cibo Matto. Ok, I'll be the first to admit I did not like them. It was
sweaty. It was crowded. It was hot. They were not announced as the
second opening act at the Academy show. I was mad. I decided I didn't
like them. However, I have listened to Viva La Woman, and my opinions
have changed. They're really talented, their lyrics are cool, and they
sample some really good music. So there, I said it. I like them now. So
sue me.

Well, golly, goober, I'm all for trusting mob rule in my musical decisions!
I for one didn't like them at all and can't see how Soul Coughing fans

Eh, i won't bother. It's obvious you haven't heard the album, and no sort of logical
discussion is going to take place unless you do. It's, in my opinion, and the opinions of
not only the country's music critics, but the people you see to respect (like Soul Coughing
and They Might Be Giants) one of the best new albums around. I'll enjoy it, and I'm sure
there are others out there who will, too. You can just sit around and be bitter.
with much love,

that chick wearing a bra? How embarrasing." That memory will haunt my days
and nights for years to come.

Neither am I, but if the mob happens to be right.... Besides, I was at that
show, making my own decision. So if my decision and the mob's decision
coincide, is that a bad thing?
: Eh, i won't bother. It's obvious you haven't heard the album, and no sort of

Well, that won't happen, because I've made my decision based on what I saw at
the concert.

See that word that you used? Opinion? It doesn't mean "my word is law," like
you want it to. You have your opinion, I have my opinion, and they happen to
disagree.
: but the people you seem to respect (like Soul Coughing and They Might
: Be Giants) one of the best new albums around.
So are you say that since Soul Coughing and TMBG like it, I should to? What
the hell kind of thinking is that?
: I'll enjoy it, and I'm sure there are others out there who will, too.
And I'm sure there are others out there who won't enjoy it. Is that wrong?
Will it tear your heart asunder to know that someone out there disagrees with
you?
: You can just sit around and be bitter.
I don't see how giving an opinion that disagrees with your can be interpreted
as bitterness. That's ridiculous.
Again, it comes down to opinion. They're neither right nor wrong. You think
one way, I think another. That's all.

Ok, I admit I really have no business commenting on this, since I didn't
see them live and haven't heard the album, but I'd just like to make a
point. Cibo Matto is a band based heavily around the use of samples and
technology, which comes off a hell of a lot better recorded than live, for
the most part. If I remember correctly, wasn't their live show the two of
them and a tape recorder? C'mon, now, that's a poor substitute for the
studio. It seems to me that Cibo Matto is much more in their element in
the studio than on the stage.
Just another (ill-informed) opinion,

I was at that show, too, and I don't remember them being laughed OR
booed off the stage. I do remember that most of the audience didn't
get it, but I sure thought they were very cool. I think that TMBG fans
would like this album. Of course, that's just my opinion.

It seems I'm the only one who are defending Cibo Matto here. But thier album is one of
the best I've heard this year, and they're liked by Soul Coughing, They Might Be Giants,
and every single reiviewer I've heard. In other words; don't beleive the hype. Cibo Matto
are a grand little duo of melody makers that could possibly rock your world.
Or maybe not. But, hey, I had to stick up for them.

Hmm... live show with two performers and a tape recorder? Sounds
kina familiar, eh?
The Cibo Matto album is very, very cool. If you like TMBG, I really
do think you'll like Cibo Matto.

attended the show know what I mean)...As a DJ at my college station I sample
many new CD's Cibo Matto being one of them...it was literally the funniest
thing I've ever heard...my roomate laughed for like an hour....I didn't really
like the music, but it certainly had some sort of odd quality...

: >: >well.
that's another story) Cibo Matto played a division end party during the
'95 Fall Quarter, And they licked!!!
I was two feet away from the stage, which isn't saying much
'cause there were only about two hundered people there. Sorry sound,
Sourry rythms. They Sucked.
They were so pressed for repetior that they played some songs twice.
Many people walked out.
It was a campus wide consensus that that was the worst divv party
ever. Cibo Sucked-O.
: Eh, i won't bother. It's obvious you haven't heard the album, and no sort of
: logical discussion is going to take place unless you do.
Well I have heard the CD. It's O.K. But If a band can't kick it live,
they're not a band, they're MUZAK. The only place they should be heard is
in dentists' offices and elevators.
Riddle me this CD boy, have you heard them live? If not, stop
your whinnin'. There is a reason behind the fact that, while most CD's
run the same price, concert ticket values' vary greatly. I may pay $10
for a Cibo CD and $10 for a Hootie and the Blowfish CD, but when it come
to a live performance, Cibo's $5 and Hootie's $30.
Why is that?
"Who cares? I DON'T CARE!!!"
About Cibo Matto, that is!

because there's a lot of stupid people willing to have thirty dollars less
in there pocket to see a band like hootie.. personally id rather have 25
bucks left and a cibo ticket...
and remember blowfish is a delicasy.. but if it's prepared wrong it'll

Because Hootie is much more widely known (supply vs. demand, you
get the idea), because their marketing costs are higher than Cibo's (they
have more marketing support and promo people/info, ergo their costs are
higher, therefore they can charge more for tix), because their shows are
more expensive to put on (stages, lights, security, arena rental),
because the promoter spent more to book the band and wants more markup, I
dunno.
(Note: I've never seen either Cibo or Hootie in concert.)
