50/50 whether this will still be on. someone apparently announced it on bfm, BDO people not too happy. tix still being sold at groovy. |
||||||||

|
|
BASTURDS! |
||||||||
|

yeah .. though word of mouth is a funny thing: rumours and counter-rumours. my guess is its still on - cross my fingers anyway. apparently one can get a refund (- booking fee of NZ$1.50) if it ain't happening (?) anyway .. shhhh |

just a wee update .. aphex and vibert at bdo was pretty good. tho there was a bit of a slow start -- mucking around like - plenty of 303 noodling in the first 45 minutes with some pretty fat hip hop beats ... last 30 minutes tho were sublime : think dj scud and hellfish.. vibert was rolling ciggs and taking pictures of the audience whilst rdj did his thing. anyway ..b etter go catch the galatos gig .. oh .. they played analogue bubblebath 1, and the Normal (Helston Flora Remix)!!! ... hope to get some pics of this galatos gig .. no promises no regrets etc. |
||||||||

just returned from galatos the gig has been cancelled the bastard BDO promotors wont allow him to play seperate gigs.. boohoo didnt go to BDO..couldnt stand the thought of being in the same ball park as METALLICA and it's knuckle dragging hordes... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
for those who bought the tix in advance..the people at the door said refunds would be made... actually our source at Real Groovy had warned us well in advance (last week to be precise) that RDJ will not be able to play a solo gig because of contractual obligations but we still hoped beyond hope... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
just back from drowning my sorrows ... boo hoo :'( yeah, gary steel told me that they were kicking up a fuss, but the refund thing made me think it wouldn't hurt to get a few tickets. and then with the beautnews email i though everything was sorted out. shit .. such a damn shame. though i think if they used a pseudonymn all this could have been avoided .. ah well .. too late for that now. i did catch the 1 1/2 aphex/vibert gig at the bdo so that's something .. too many people at the bdo for my liking tho .. crazyness. But yeah ... last half hour of the vibert/afx gig was immense. |

i wana see some full reviews and pics, please |

Aphex at the big day out was a let down for me, i missed the last 30 minutes because i walked out. the flaming lips cheered me up though. |

i suck at reviews, and unfortunately didn't get any pics. but um yeah .. vibert had his ibook, triggered samples/loops from his keyboard ... its pretty hard knowing who was doing what, but the start sounded pretty vibert-ish. actually the music reminded me a lot of the little lv-rdj soundclip i once had a listen to from some semi-recent vibert interview (no idea where that file is now). rdj seemed to hunch over (a 303?) an awful lot at the start -- ie. wasn't really using his laptop. start seemed a bit weak .. some nice basslines and things, but it was too sparse - or very linear is probably a better way to put it. the second half hour got a bit better, but it was still a bit touch and go - some breaks were thrown in every now and then - um .. all pretty old school, plenty of 303, 808 and a bit of 909 thrown in. but the last 30 (though was probably closer to 20 mins) when rdj took the helm, things heated up. Tonns of gabba, hardcore breakcore corecore etc. - and plenty of fuckin around by the main man. I've only got Constant Mutations, but i'm sure i recognised some hellfish, quite possibly some scud or soundmurderer also ... and some lush as breaks etc. pretty much repeating what i've said |

i found the rdj-lfv.mp3 soundclip, will try and upload it somewhere .. actually sounded very much like that ... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
found it .. think "clip I" and a bit more bass. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i wish i was there for that last 30 minutes. i hope he'll play some gig's in europe this year, i need a good gig asap :) |
