Nice, schmice, it should be mandatory. electronic music artists should start having their own dance troops. I mean, hell, they're getting paid as much as a whole band, and then they just show up solo with their powerbook? hello? think: smoldering go go boys with oiled chests doing synchronized movements. just wait till you see the difference in audience reaction!!! but seriously, I think the thing the artists need to think about IS performance. and there are an infinate number of possible solutions to this problem. standing around with a computer is okay for a lounge or concert hall, but the more theatrical setting of a rock club needs to be agressively and imaginatively exploited, not awkwardly tolerated. Come on, you fuckin geniuses!!!
