I'm suprised nobody has posted about this yet. Last night Richard Devine played in Los Angeles. The venue was split into two areas, with a fancy bar where Telefon Tel Aviv played and a more stripped down gallery space were Richard Devine played. Richard played all new tracks, superhardcore very complicated stuff, everyone was going mad there were a lot of people dancing around him. He traktored his set on some very large, very expensive looking keyboard which looked to have a large full color lcd screen, touchpad, etc. At the end of his set after everyone had been throughly worked by his new tracks, he set fire to the keyboard which went up in a huge blaze. It keep playing his track so then he took out a baseball bat and beat the hell out of it shattering keys off. The place was filled with a plasticy smoke and when the fire died down you could see the keyboard was half melted. The crowd was going crazy, but then the owner of the venue went ballistic since they could have burned the building down and started yelling and pushing everyone telling them to get out while the other djs were setup and ready to go. Several people who were putting on the show tackled the owner and a mini brawl broke out. Some big security guys rushed in and broke up the fight and everyone was kicked out of the smoke filled venue at 3am. Now that is a fucking show!!

Unbelievable... we missed this show but he did mention the night before on our radio show (during the interview) that he would be setting something on fire in L.A. --didn't think he meant literally!! Crazy!!
We'll have the Digital::Nimbus feat. R.Devine *LIVE* audio-archive and pix available soon.. Watch out..
P&F.

this dude played at The Cage here in DFW not too long ago and he was setting his records on fire while he was scratching them, pouring beer all over stuff, it was insane
entertaining nonetheless

Richard devine is crazy live... he gets so into it.
Its just playing with computers, but he puts out enough energy for a metal show... It gets all the girls naked.
Or not, but it could.

pietro;
also i think the occurence was just really funny because he was talking about (on your show) that keyboard and that sort of keyboard technology, how companies are putting the o/s interfaace on the machines, and then a day later he lights one on fire and busts it up with a baseball bat.

Actually there was a pretty good amount of people there, you are looking from the side not at the front.

I don't know if you guys realise. But that the synth (workstation) he burned is a neko 64. those are about 6000 dollar. does he earn that much money??? the synth must have been already broken or something, I dunno man.... atleast he could've given it to me.

I didn't mean we should follow rock n roll cliches. But, if you enjoy your performances consisting of a man on a laptop looking bored as fuck, doing nothing much in particular (at least from the audiences' point of view) then all the power to you.
I'm ready for things to move on a bit.

i wish he had just let it burn, the bat was nice where it made it glitch or skip or what ever but the effects that the fire wouldve had on that thing would be insane

I just sent this email to Open Labs:
Hello Open Labs,
After viewing the publicity pictures and video of Richard Devine setting fire, and smashing his Neko with a baseball bat, I have come to the conclusion that you have a surplus of these wonderful keyboards that you are willing to get rid of. So, to that effect, I am requesting a free Neko from you, as I could get much more use from it.
My address is:
xxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxx
Ill be waiting patiently. Thank you. -Matthew Usnick
