Yeah, Likewise, I enjoyed the evening spent at said show. Though I really
felt bad for OVS during his performance, since there was an afflluence of
heads over at the other end of the Minna. However, I did like the fact that
Otto just poked fun at it, turning down the volume and asking the crowd in
tow if 'they hear that?' trying to win a unaminous vote from us, asking if
they should kill the noise emating from the other end, he even poked fun at
the people socializing in the far back, 'socializing like on friendster!'
haha.....so fucking hilarious. Nevertheless, he pullled off an entertaining
set, with much character to adorn it, he was definately appreciative of the
crowd that were giving it their all, he conveyed great showmanship word up!
Devine was off the fucking hinges with his ionized noise, having a awesome
blend of the 303 sounds(on one particular track, I forgot) invigorating me
to try to dance...however the speaker on the left got overheated from
Devine's aggressive exuded expression of his music (he was taking no
prisoners with his set) I loved every minute, eventhough I kept in mind that
my ears would begin to ring from the consumption of noise thereafter (fuck
it!) **hehe** Yeah, that was pretty much the night for me, I had to be at my
car before 2 am (for streetcleaning) so my company and I had to leave before
we would hear a single sound from Phoenecia **sad** Nevertheless, it was
overall a great night, I loved the energy from the musicmakers and the
people that were feeling it, that was pretty much enough for me (all i
need).
word.
