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.


Comments / Notes



I live in Baltimore and I have never heard of The Amboys or Fecal Consumption.

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.
