From Patrick:
The Amboys is a
Baltimore band who have been doing a long list of shows here
and just cut their first indie record. The lead singer, Max
Lizarre, is a Moz afficiando and does many Smiths/Moz
covers. I came across their
website, and there are a couple of references. One
is rather funny, about Lizarre's fued with another band
called Fecal Consumption:
"In an interesting conversation based on the Lizarre/Fecal
Consumption fued, a Baltimore radio disc jockey brought up
the similar fued between the Cure and Morrissey and asked
Lizarre how he would compare the two.
LIZARRE: Well, I would definitely want myself to be likened
to Morrissey.
Q: Really?
LIZARRE: Yes. I definitely think he's much more
talented. I like some of the Cure's stuff, but I think
they're comparable to Fecal Consumption, at least when
you're looking at it through the fued aspect. I think Moz
has the better talent and therefore can be critical of them.
Q: So you liken yourself to Morrissey?
LIZARRE: Well, in this comparison. I don't think I have
anywhere near the skill at lyrics that he has, or as
melodious a voice. But I think he kicks the Cure's ass, and
I kick F.C.'s ass."
The website itself is still being built, but the page with
Lizarre's quips about F.C. are funny, and there is another
Smiths reference about a cover of "Panic" Lizarre
does.

i just visited the amboy's website, and frankly i think this is all a hoax. you are saying that the band was formed in late 1998 and came out with their first album this quickly? and they are such a big hit but no one has heard of them? also, i noted in max lizarre's profile that lizarre was spelled both 'lazar' and 'lizarre'. this whole situation just seems a bit bizarre to me. i support fecal consumption.
