i actually disagree with this.... I saw the same show in Chicago, and I
thought Kippi Kaninus was quite good. Yes, a bit dry on the visuals, but his
music was really nice I thought. I hadn't heard it before and I was
pleasantly surprised and engaged. And the venue was about 110 degrees, so
that says a lot.
I thought that Gold Chains outperformed anyone on the recent 606 tour. He so
obviously enjoys what he's doing and doesn't compromise his ideas. 606 was
fine, I thought, a bit boring (very long set as I recall), similar to his
recent album (which is basically more of the same pop mashup
"appropriation"), but GC was awesome. I also enjoyed Lesser's foray into
laptop death metal.
The worst show I've ever seen? Gosh. I usually forget about that type of
stuff. I think the absolute worst show would be this goth show I went to in
Cleveland... I went to see my friend's pseudo-trip-hop group open up the
night (not realizing this was a $20 event for multiple bands) and was soon
treated to some of the most mediocre electro-industrial music. I used to
love that stuff but man, this was bad. Then I started to feel ill and ended
up puking my guts out in the bathroom; at first I thought it was a physical
reaction to how bad the music was, but actually I'd apparently gotten food
poisoning from my lunch. ;-)
