Saturday night, Drew Daniel's solo project Soft Pink Truth played a
warehouse space in Baltimore and oh my god, twas incredible.
There were some worries that the soundsystem was buckling under the noisy,
noisy beats of opener Food For Animals (rap group with absolutely evil
production... even harsher than Dalek, closer to MAKING ORANGE THINGS,
actually...)
one of the speaker stacks was lighting up from within and all that...
but Drew rolled over the crowd like a bulldozer with non-stop thump. I
personally haven't really danced in probably two years, I mostly just
people-watch and gossip and shit, but SPT's set was just too damn funky. I
got my head-bob on something fierce.
And the best part is, homeboy LIVES in Baltimore now, so next Sunday I'm
going to see Matmos in a 50-capacity room that's like 5-minutes from my
front door (by bike!)
I will give a more detailed report of this show to the list, I have a
feeling it's going to be historic. Did anyone ever see them with Bjork on
Letterman that one time? Holy shit, IDM owned network television harder
than any other band since Prince pwned Dick Clark on American Bandstand.
