i think if you pay 20 bucks, and sometimes even drive a couple hours to see a show you should get some kind of SHOW. if it's just about the sound then why don't the artists pre-record the shows and send the tapes into the clubs. or perform live over the radio. what's the point of them even being there if they are invisible anyway? at the very least they should have some images projected behind them like plaid. or dudes wrastling in bear suits like afx. i saw the autechre show in Vancouver; drove up there to a good venue (sonar) rather than see them in seattle; and i was very dissappointed to see nothing but smoke and glowing apples. not to mention the music was pretty 1 dimensional. i felt kind of cheated because these dudes never tour the U.S and the one time i got to see them, there was nothing to see. i like autechre a lot but they are a couple lazy bastards. |

an excellent and heavily electronic act to see live is "Man...or Astro Man?" these guys are like a surf metal devo kraftwerk thrash band. and they can put on a fucking show. i own none of their albums but i have seen them live 3 times and they never dissappoint. another great live band who knows how to put on a show is fucking GWAR. again i own none of their music and wouldn't even consider downloading their music but their shows are among the most enjoyable experiences of my young life. these electronic guys must have some friends that know how to do some stage antics. i say, BRING THEM WITH YOU ON TOUR. HERE WE ARE NOW! ENTERTAIN US! you fucking lazy bastards. |

I've never seen them live, but their music is nice. Sci-fi surf music :) Sadly my cd was stolen by some local heroinists. |

see them live dude. if they ever go to norway. they do a song where they put a microphone up to a dot matrix printer and the noise it makes is a cover of some metal song. they all have it memorized and they "sing along" to it too. "wheee beep beep beep wirr wirrrr wirrrr beep beep beep jigun jigun wheee wheee beeeeep beeeeep." its fucking awsome.... seriously... |

ok, I go see rock bands live quite often. They're fun and all, but that kind of music is not really my thing. I recently went to see plaid and mira calix on their north american tour. I loved it. It's not that the show was outstanding, (they actually crashed their computer a few times) it was just the fact that ed and andy were making the music. that's why I'll continue to enjoy electronic show's no matter what people say. |

If I go see a band, it's usually more of the jazzy funky type....and when you see that music, with a ton of improvisation, the simple fact that at any moment, anything can happen...even the musicians don't know it's going to happen.... they can go off on tangents, then somehow come together all at once, and everyone's pleasantly surprised..... Maybe, sometime in the future, we'll beable to somehow hook up our frontal lobes to our sequencers, on stage, and through some sort of telepathy, be able to improvise our beats and tones in real time...right there....that would be tight... |

I haven't read this whole thread but I agree 100%. I saw plaid live and the music was simply amazing, but they were not. It made the whole experience less interactive and enjoyable. |

if i ever had a live show... i would have all these midi-controlled muppets up on stage...either dancing or set up to look like they were playing weird instruments...like a dr seuss-ian orchestra and then maybe have a bunch of people dressed in big fuzzy suits like big bird or something come out in run around through the audience or i was thinking if i had a hardcore show...i would have no lights..except maybe some strobe lights...and fill the whole place with that stage smoke stuff...so no one could see...and have people dressed in big fuzzy suits run around assaulting people in the audience ..and then of course i would use really deep bass frequencies to make people throw up... heh..it would be funny to incorperate these two types of shows into one...have it start off funny and weird with the muppet orchestra...and some nice quarky music...then start pumping in the smoke...and have the lights come off and let the madness and confusion ensue... :D |

...it does have lack of stage presence, but then, if i want a hard live show, i´d choose a punk gig or something....just fast and furious...a NIN concert....i dunno, it´s like when you choose to go to an "IDM" gig, you´re mainly going for the music.....although it sucks paying 20 bucks to watch a geek play around with his laptop..... *wee_boy confused* |

the essence of a good show is not how the person dances or looks or jumps or any crap like that. ive seem some amazing crap in my life and it wasnt because the band "put on a good show" and it wasnt even cause they sounded good but the mood just hit hard and made everyone in the room just...(insert perfect word here). the same can be for electronic music. i on the other hand get alot of joy watching someone click away at their computer and turn knobs. i dont know why that is. but my point is, a good show has nothing to do with the performance. its witnessing something amazing happening that even the artist seems to end up standing in shock from what just happened. |

My band has a gig on sunday. But I don't think we're any fun seeing live. My guitar and bass players are just nodding their heads as they play, and I kick a lot of shit but I'm just a drummer, how much of a stage show can I put without ruining the seriousness of the overall situation... |
