Excellent night of electro and electronica. Warming up the crowd with his electro DJ skills was Decal. To get a taste of the kind of stuff he was playing, it wasn't totally disimilar to the mp3 mixes found It was my first saturday night out in Dublins now smoke-free clubbing scene and it was rather pleasant except that you noticed farts and B.O. a lot more! I had a toke outside and joined the new phenonomen in Ireland - gangs of people hanging around the front of pubs/clubs/resteraunts smoking and chatting - folks who probably wouldn't normally associate with each other. So i went back in and Plaid were now sitting at their consoles with their trade-mark knob-scope giving a ant-sized Warpbots point of view of their hands firtively turning controls. I ain't that familiar with Plaid tracknames or anything but they played a blinding set of blissed-out warm melody driven tunes. I defo recognised "double-figures" Squance and other recent material and it was all accompanied by some really amazing and varied visuals. 2 in particular stood out - the first an homage to old arcade games with cutouts of 80's pop icons intermingled with pacmen and bricky technocoloured spaceships. The other one was still pencil-drawings of a kind of neo-gothic near future world of wierd cityscapes and flying cars that panned genlty across your vision. It really suited Plaids gentle but building synthline and phat bassiness. Brilliant. |

sounds nice...tho im not that big fan of plaid. actually they're coming to play in my hometown in about a month, not sure if im going to go... nacmat, it seems to me that only london is a better place tp dublin, regarding gigs, but madrid is not that bad either...often when i check for tours/gigs for different artists, i see they're playing in madrid as well. but i think the promotion for this gigs is shitty everywhere, so the best way is to check on some domestic electronic message board - i get a lot information for this gigs on this particulat site - promotors are posting there as well, so i get all the information from the first hand. |

well, the thing is i find their music a little boring...i was supposed to see that six months ago at some festival, but then there was this problem when power went out, so they cancelled some acts (plaid including) and i didin't really mind that heh, actually it was so exausting i was kind of pleased the cancelled plaid :) but yeah, i'll still probably go to this one... |

I have seen a lot of good acts in my live, but Plaid is on top of my list, although it depends on the location where they play. their visuals are the best and you can feel the music, well atleast I could when they played in Amsterdam. even 2 people who came with me that never heard of Plaid before had a great time!! one of them wanted to buy a record of them (and she's normally into hard-rock) it's up to you, but keep in mind that you will feel sorry if you won't go ;) |

i like the extremes when it comes to live acts...either hardcore stuff or very chiled stuff. plaid are something inbetween, but hey, it's only like an hour or so and i can always leave if it would be too bad 8-) |

Plaid is the perfect combination of both ¦) in what kind of place are they going to perform? |

it's some spring festival of electronic music, and i think they'll play outside, which should be a new experience :) |
