well, saw the 4tet, manitoba, prefuse gig last night. it was my first "electronic" show... well, perhaps that's a lie, i saw freeworm live a year ago, but they had lots of instruments on stage, so it was more live than laptop. cant remember who opened the whole show, perhaps the drummer from tortoise? i think that's who it was. he was playing on his laptop, and drumming along. first time i saw a drummer only show. neat. he had some pretty fuct beats. then came fourtet, which was good, he played some of the stuff off his rounds album, which i recently got. the thing is, it was not that much different from the cd versions. i asked myself at the end of the show, why "play" this music "live"? all he did was stand there with his right finger on a mouse, and his left finger on a sequencer, or something. manitoba... WOW! oh my deity, what a mean bastard. they came out wearing bear masks, with red hoodies, and a projection screen in behind. most of the stuff was from up in flames, which was quality, since i only know this album from mb. two drummers and a guitarist, plus the pre-recorded vocals and beats. the screen in behind them had wonderful cartoon sequences happening. they had videoes cued perfectly to the music... included in the videoes were people with huge egg heads and cute little faces singing along on jacknuggeted, an animated crayon drawing sequence with SKUNKS, and the best was the flying and racing donkeys on TWINS. the outro was everytime she turns round its her birthday, too. and it went on forever, with peaks and valleys, every time you thought it was over, they kept bringing it back up for another go. manitoba, what a wicked show. one of the best shows ive ever seen... prefuse 73: well, i found it kind of similar in feeling to the fourtet show. good music, but not very live. one guy scratching and one guy on the lap top. if i wanted to listen to prefuse like this, id just play the cd. i figured they would at least have a guy on vocals live, but no... |

Actually, there was another guy with Scott at the Houston show. And joey's right, the Prefuse set didn't seem very inspired. Beans was dope, tho. |

im certain it was prefuse 73, seeing as how it said on the bill fourtet, manitoba, and prefuse 73, and he played all the shit from one word extinguisher. but it sounded like it was straight from OWE. |
