for electronic music, there is a predominant image already for the average
electronic music performer, that of a 'geeky tweaker, usually male,
ensconced behind wires of equipment and snarl of wires' (taken from Grooves
#6, Peaches article) I think what she meant was that the performer should
have gain more communicatiion with the audience, more eye contact, it would
also help if the performer can think of a gimmck onstage, for people would
like to be entertained as well. In my place here in manila, Filipinos are very
hard to please, especially with electronica being very new to the local scene.
I did a couple of live PA gigs, and the audience was quite dumbfounded because
they were expecting a singer and a live band!
So i can relate to Nic's statements; I do not know how her band sounds like
nor looks onstage, but i can understand where she's coming from ;)
but in the same vein, i hope this is not
meant to compromise the quality of one's music over the need to please the
audience.
