a friend gave me some Squarepusher live at Coachela, on DivX and i fucking loved watching him makes faces etc.
What fucking upsets me is the lack of crowd movement. There he is playing the bangingest tunes and everyones just stareing at him nailed to the floor. Thats fucked up!
I noticed it too at WARP/Hackney a few years back - Vibert and AFX jungle soundwar with fuck all people giving it loads.
I don't know about you lot but when i'm at a heavy electronica gig i bang my fucking head off and over here, the crowd does as well.
So are US/UK lacking in the dance gene or what? I got only a few examples so educate me, chums!

hahaha, i can imagine. did you read that afx interview in wire. he said that he don't get how some people who attend his gigs just stand there and stare at him...apperantly he's thinking of coming to some gig and not play anything and just stare at the crowd instead :)
it's either they're all dugged really bad or they shouldn't be there in the first place imo.

i've still got red paint from the fence on my belt-buckle from when I was at the Xploding Plastix gig! I jumped so much, and i was being pressed towards the fence (FRONT ROW, MUTHAFUCKA!), i pretty much scraped the fence clean of paint.

people who stand nailed to the floor are probably secretly bootlegging the show and consequently don’t want to disrupt the mic, thats how it was wih me, other wise i would have broken out into a dance fit

I gotta dance when the music warrants it, but its odd when nobody around you is doing it. Oh well.

sometimes people get into it and dance, they did at the plaid show
not at the prefuse show though
I usually dance a bit, sometimes it catches on though, someone has to be brave enough to start and hope others will follow

I saw Aphex Twin at All Tomorrow's Parties 2002 in LA (UCLA) and the front rows of packed Richard d. James look-alikes and music elitists simply flexed (to hold their spot) and stared at the man. I was with my friend (who remained up against the barrier, straight-jacketed by smelly no-dancing enthusiasts) and the atmosphere AFX was creating was killed by these immovable wads of self-restraint.
Roughly 1/6 of the audience danced. And my seventeen year old ass danced like I had never danced before (retardedly, surrounded by frowns and rolling eyes).
It was one of the funnest moments of my life. Good god, if you ever have the opportunity to see AFX, dance, man, dance!
