And it's already sold out, arrrrrgh ... - Greg (Who is really bothered by this trend of IDM/Techno bands touring normal venues with regular bands - although I admit Stereolab probably aren't really "regular". A MoM show by themselves probably wouldn't have sold out already. Bring back Techno bands at raves!)

you are on the mark when you say that sterolab is not regular. i have seen them twice and those shows rank up at the very top. i would be suprised if any idmer didnt appreciate at least a third to a half of their show. they are truly one of the most innovative and exciting "regular" bands out there. it was a far cry from the sneaker pimps/afx fiasco. the members of the lab are creating trends and hybrids of music, not following. do not miss if you have the opportunity. cl
