hiya guys...i'm out of the circuit a bit cos of the lack
of job etc but.......i had to write about Manitoba and
Fourtet, live ..................

the setting:
Guiness Hop Store, Dublin
- a Willy Wonka type arts venue with glass elevators, 5
floors, lots of cold Guniness, funky audio visual in
stallations etc

the gig:
WONKY2...a 2 day event of live electronica and dj's and some
indie stuff for the shear hell of it...........only 12euro
(thats CHEAP my British shums!)

The noise:
Manitoba, a Canadian guy i've heard snippets of before,
played some real sweet breakbeaty soundscapes..........check
him out people
FOURTET
fucking blew the rest away with 1 hour of crazy fast
.....defo braindance, reworking his "Pause" vibe with added
acceleration and intensity Much use of spainish guitar
samples but with those lovely AFX/>[] non-linear
breaks..........just pure class really. You gotta check
Fourtet out.......it's chilled n happy but it DOES get the
neurons boogying.

i heard radiohead fans this summer in spain and portugal
didn't care for four tet's warmup performance at all. it's
funny, most radiohead concert goers tend to hate the opening
acts, whether it's clinic, anti-pop consortium, dj shadow,
kid koala, or handsome boy modeling school - all amazing
artists who they're priveledged to see. at best the audience
silently waits for the set to end; at worst - and this is
most often the case - they roll their eyes, chat with
friends, and heckle the band. really, really rude and shows
how classy they're NOT. and how little taste in music they
have. i used to like radiohead fans cos i felt i had
something in common with them, but most of them are just
bandwagon jumpers who don't really like non-mainstream
music. such a shame.
