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... |

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. |

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. |

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..... |

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? |

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. |

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 :) |

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. |
