ok 1st off, not to put a damper on things but Jega, Bola, Mira Calix and
Andy M.
didn't get to come. They said they were having a problem w/ their visas
and they
could afford to bring everybody.........but Rob Hall was there. Ae, PBO
and Luke Vibert
were all there. Mike Paradinas was hanging around backstage the whole
time.
at 1st i was really pissed that Dylan wouldn't be there, but then i
though "i paid $50 to get
into this shit so i am damn well going to watch every fuking thing i can
even if it sucks balls".
and WOW! i must say, i am glad i stayed. Autechre's set (and this was NO
dj set. it was live
as shit! laptops and all) was really amazing...no i mean really amazing.
i'm not even that big a
fan (though i may have just become one) but it went off. i didn't really
think it was going to be
that good after hearing stories about their total improve set in Canada a
while back. there was
some good improve stuff and they actually played some of their released
tracks
(some Cichli Suite, Incunabula, etc.). there was a pretty formed groove
through most of the
set. anybody who is a big Ae fan and didn't got to this because they
thought i would be some lame
dj set, missed out hard. though they probably ended up doing the live bit
to make up for 4 of the
Skamstresses not showing, it worked. i didn't see the show as a waste at
all and most importantly,
i wasn't pissed when i left.
Rob Hall spun a nice set w/ everyone's favorite MASK 2 track and some
other great stuff. nice guy,
that one.
PBO spun something of a downtempo set. he played some of his unreleased
stuff along
w/ one track i know i've heard before. i almost want to say Paul
Hasselinger but i really
don't think that's it. oh well that was cool.
Luke Vibert is just the man. i gotta say. the stuff he was playing
(live), well let's just say
you're going to want it when it comes out. it was Luke doing his stuff w/
this older guy named
B.J. Cole on live bench slide guitar. i've always liked slide guitar (now
all they need is a
baritone sax player). sweet ass set by them; all new stuff for an album
they have coming out
i don't know when. the Vibert and Cole album should be out "soon" is what
they said.
and how bout everyone else on this list. i know some were there. i even
met a few of you. i was
the geeky little bastard w/ the black 80's hat trying to get Ae and Rob
Hall to sign my Gescoms.
well, thats the news from Indio//
?-???-?
