first act -- junior boys -- they sound very hipsterish so i thought it would be a bunch of long-haired lanky indie rockers but it was a beardy-weirdy funny fat guy in wide pants kinda having a ball. the tickets said the show starts at 9:30.. it was a misprint.. junior boys started at 9, so there was barely anyone there. i was one of two people dancing, probably.. sounded almost identical to album version, still kinda nice.. they tried to get the crowd clapping a couple of times but didn't really work.. |

second act -- ratatat -- i haven't heard them before, they're kinda 80s metal ballad kitsch meets daft punk. they were extremely LOUD and very new yorkish, tossed some things about in typical rockstar antics, just seemed to have a ball, was fun but not very danceable.. something to listen to when feeling somewhat cheesy and wanton i guess.. |

third & final act -- mouse on mars -- totally blew me away. three guys: one on bass, drum machine and various gadgets.. another very cool guy with an afro on the drums and singing crazily usually with heavy distortion and the main man behind a table with two or three laptops and wayyyy too many cables.. he was the guy that did most of the talking between songs.. mostly very brief, germanic and kinda funny.. "if you stop clapping we don't get paid, you know" or after something failed to intialize (german accent) "there are... weasels... messing with our equipment... weasels everywhere..." music was AMAZING, lots of drum improv craziness, songs that seem to die and end and then just EXPLODE.. a lot of people were dancing (well, for vancouver).. i was right at the front.. they did a big encore and people were stomping on the floor to get them to come back but sonar couldn't/wouldn't... one of the best live shows i've ever seen.. |
