at the risk of following up a thread with yet another astoundingly positive
account of this tour, here it goes;
amazing. best $5 i've ever spent. set's were a little on the short side,
but hey, all parties involved used their time effecitvely.
kit clayton: dubby, experimental at times, more techno tinged at times but
all around wonderful. oh, and if that boy leans over his g3 like that for
the rest of his life, we're talking scoliosis.
chessie: wasn't sure what to expect, but i was pleasantly surprised. i was
afraid it was going to meander into fuzz rock type territory, but pleasantly
enough it reminded me of some of the older bowery electric (w/out vocals of
course) and some earlier seefeel. excellent. could have done without the
seemingly ten minutes between each track though.
stewart walker: crashing laptops? no. try instead dying power strip. just
as he had developed a smooth tech house type groove power went off. walker
brushed it off though as several guys from chessie and clayton himself all
rushed the stage to get walker up and running again. thankfully they got
him on within ten minutes or so and from there on he switched to a higher
tempo techno and got the 30 or 40 people in the crowd all bobbing their
heads and/or dancing. definitely knew how to work the crowd. all in all
one of the best live pa techno sets i've seen.
as for equip: clayton used an older g3 laptop w/some sort of midi/effects
controller and walker stayed pretty much to his large akai looking drum
machine/sampler and his nord lead 2 modular.
if possible, it's highly recommended that anyone see this show. i would
have paid five times that much if i had to.
