PLAID - worth seeing?? (w/o Squarepusher)
 

leftrightronic on 2001-08-13 06:04 [#00021405]



I had been waiting with much anticipation for the
Squarepusher show coming up this Friday featuring Plaid and
Mira Calix here in Chicago. Now, with Tom ill, I'm
wondering if it's worth the $10 or $15 to go see a live
Plaid show with DJ Mira Calix? I like a generous amount of
Plaid's music, but I just saw them as an added bonus when
they were going to be playing with Squarepusher. SP was the
main reason I was gonna shell out the cash and go downtown
to see this whole thing. I'm really just not sure now.
Actually, it really really does suck Tom won't be playing
here. I've had some shitty summer courses and wanted to end
the summer on a semi-interesting note and check out this
show before heading back to my university in a few weeks.
Damnit. To those who may have seen the rehased show just
featuring Plaid, etc, lemme know what you thought. Any
other opinions are welcome.

Thx,

(sorry for the sorta long post)

I didn't much care for Plaid or Mira, but it was good to see
them, and it was entertaining. Go see them, you just may
find a new artist you like...


 

leftrightronic on 2001-08-13 06:10 [#00021408]



Well, like I said I have most of the Plaid releases, and
think they are err, decent? Also I've heard quite a bit of
Mira Calix ('OK' stuff, I guess), but it's only gonna be a
DJ set, and most likely won't be playing her stuff. By
discovering new artists who were you referring to exactely?
:P
Is there another act there to makeup for the lack of
Squarepusher..?

Peas,

Squarepusher is good..... I like it a lot. But not TOO
much.. because I could never get into his style I cant
listen to a lot of him at one time I seem to get bored. Oh
well. Hes good. Plaid is awsome.


 

Baron Von Picklefoot from The Baron Got a new computer !!!! on 2001-08-13 07:39 [#00021419]



Ah fuck I guess its true I just read it on the warp site
(I've been out of town for a few weeks ) Fuck I was really
looking forward to this I already got my tickets goddamnit
!!!!!!!!!I can't believe he's fucking sick but I guess
that's what happens when you drink a bottle of fucking Vodka
a night!!!! I'm sorry but I'm really pissed this was going
to be a amazing show!!! THE BARON IS WEEPING SOFTLY
!!!!!!!!!

i just got back from the el rey show. it was ... ok. since
sp canceled, they were giving, at the door, five bucks back
per ticket. there was just some guy there with a stack of
tens handing them out. mira calx (?) was cool, but she was
up there for one long set. i guess after seeing
squarepusher at coachella i wasn't expecting anything that
long. she was cool though. i heard some boards of canada
in there and was happy.

is it worth seeing? i don't know what your personal tastes
are, but i'm glad i went.

What does mira calx sound like ?????THE BARON HAS SPOKEN
P.S. I will be wearing a big hotdog costume to the concert
WOO HOO !!!!!!!!


 

Sepix from european realm on 2001-08-13 14:31 [#00021490]



oh god, what a question ! Go there ! Saw them twice (Italy,
Rome; Spain, Barcelona) - awesome !


 

PostModernVancouver from Vancouver,Canada on 2001-08-13 15:23 [#00021493]



Agreed with Rephlex there.... I like Squarepusher, but only
for so much, then it just gets boring IMO..
Plaid is THE ACT to watch after Aphex Twin..( I mean Warp
act).....because Autechre live is fuckin dull too.
Plaid has the full, diverse package and they kick ass live.
Who really cares about Mira with the exception that shes a
good DJ, Plaid is worth the whole ticket price alone guys.
Go see them , theyre by far the best WARP act live ( after
Aphex)....sorry Autechre.....


 

leftrightronic on 2001-08-13 16:54 [#00021520]



Postmodern, when had you seen Plaid live? Or haven't you?

Just curious..

 

PostModernVancouver from Vancouver,Canada on 2001-08-13 17:48 [#00021532]



I saw them on their tour opener last Tuesday here in
Vancouver, and the response was generally fantastic.
I loved it.
Ive seen Autechre live, and theyre just plain dull...
Why the question?

 

leftrightronic on 2001-08-13 20:57 [#00021553]



Why the question? Dunno just wondering bout all this..?

Theres another one

 

PearlsGirrl on 2001-08-16 06:16 [#00022310]



im going to the chicago 17th show too. im so dissapointed
that sp isnt gonna be there, but i think itll definitley
still be worth it just to see plaid.


 

D-Hex from KC Missouri on 2001-08-16 07:23 [#00022318]



I just got back from Plaid/Mira in Kansas and i really
enjoyed myself. Plaid was really great and they had some
interesting visuals but i thought mira was rather bland.


 

ded_zero from kenosha, wi on 2001-08-16 07:59 [#00022322]



leftrightronic and pearlsgirrl i look forward to seeing you
at the show, chances are i'll be first in line and front
row. cheers.


 

Baron Von Picklefoot from The Baron Got a new computer !!!! on 2001-08-16 08:43 [#00022327]



I think I'm just going to light my head on fire and run
around screaming "I got the motts and I like to eat locks "!
Or maybe I'll just bring my grandmother to the show I think
she might like it.THE BARON HAS SPOKEN!!!!!!!


 

Xanatos from NYC on 2001-08-16 10:05 [#00022331]



I still can't decide whether to go or not, hey Clobe, you
said you heard boards of canada there? Mira Calix was
spinning them, or what?

music has a right to the children.


 

leftrightronic on 2001-08-17 21:48 [#00022830]

Baron Von Picklefoot from The Baron Got a new computer !!!! on 2001-08-18 20:18 [#00023008]



Oh yes my friends what a good show that was yummy yummy!I
really was very happy with the whole thing also really liked
Mira I can't believe she played Bucephalus Bouncing Ball I
lost my mind when that happened! I also heard that Aphex may
be there in October WOO FUCKING HOO!!!!!THE BARON IS
HUNGOVER BUT VERY HAPPY!!!!


 

PearlsGirrl on 2001-08-18 20:23 [#00023010]



yep yep i was there too. GREat show. mira calix was dull
except when she spun bucephelous bouncing ball. and it
looked like she was playing Cds or something. who knows.....

slicker was a bit choppy but other than that he was good.
PLaid was SO amazing! the tracks they played were excellent.
i just wished they played longer!
also the crowd was just great and i met some cool people.
leftrightronic- dude you are awesome- even if you do use old
chewing gum to stick together a wristband ;)
BARON! where were you?! i wanted my banana milkshake! me and
leftrightronic were looking for you in your waldo suit and
we saw a guy in a red and white striped shirt and we asked
him if he was THe BaRon, and hes like, i WISH i was the
baron :)



 

leftrightronic on 2001-08-19 00:03 [#00023025]



haha yea, that was a cool gig indeed. im really glad i got
to meet you too PearlsGirrl, we will definitely have to keep
in touch. you should come visit me at school sometime :)

hmm.. when mira was spinning it was kinda slow at first (it
sounded like ambient devil musik), but towards the later
part of her set it really picked up, especially when she
threw in some aphex. slicker played inbetween and i must
say, i liked his style even though he wasn't on for that
long. when plaid got going, you could tell everyone was
getting into it a lot. i thought they put on a solid
performance, and those visuals on the screen were pretty
damn neat.. it made everything flow together nicely.
overall, it was terrific to see all those acts; and even
though squarepusher wasn't there, i had an excellent time.
