hey kids,
well, i just returned home from the aphex/sneaker pimps
show at the guverment in toronto. firstly, sneaker pimps
blew. that girl couldn't carry a tune if it was in a paper
sack. sorry to say it, but it's all true:-(
luke vibert spun in between live acts and he played just
about what i had hoped and expected. a fairly eclectic mix
of d&b with some kookiness thrown in for good measure.
afx seems to be palying the same set on each night.
the tracks were pretty well what has been posted here.
the bears were fun and quite randy! there was no
little house. richard sat on a sofa (a nice one as well!)
and he had his gear on a coffee table.
the oddest things that took place during the show were:
1) one of the bears ripped off his suit and proceeded
to shave his head right there on stage.
and
2)someone (maybe the bear guy) came out during
'come to daddy' (last track) wearing only a towel.
he was dancing around with a cup of water in his hand
and then whoosh! at the same time he hoisted the water
on the crowd, he ripped the towel off and did a little
happy dance in his birthday suit. in one fell swoop, afx
one upped marilyn manson BIG TIME!!!
the show was very cool. loud and very heavy. there
were a few confused kids holding their ears but most
people seemed to be having a cool enough time.
my only complaint is that not enough people were
dancing. i was shaking my ass like mad!
after it was over i got to go over to richard and say
hello. he was very nice and took time to chat with a few
kids and sign some shit. the prize winner, a girl had her
asthma puffer (ventolin, of course!) richard took it from her
and laughed. he then took two huge huffs and signed
it for her. what a fond memory that will make! another
trainspotter story for the grandkids!!
anyway, this concludes the wrap up from toronto!
later,
peace, love and ambience.
