Playing w/Mobius :mandaba:

I saw them perform at Mutek this spring. This is not a "stand behind the laptop" set by any means, nor is it a straight techno-esque performance either. It's more of an indy meets techno type performance: vocals, drums, guitar, with a techno backing. Someone's apt comparison of Matthew's performance at Mutek was of David Gahan of Depeche Mode. So if you're looking for a 4-on-the-floor Audion set, you'll be finding something quite different!

It's a great show, don't miss it!

[ricke]

Coolness. Thanks for the clarification sl0p0k. I'll be there.

[stormryder]

Satori approves

[measax]

so, hows about that new hummer commercial.

[sl0p0k]

Hummer commercial?

[EIGHTYEIGHTDC]

i thought his set at Mutek was lameo...but I'm willing to give it another shot.

[sl0p0k]

I dug it! It was different! Definitely not the same ol', same ol' that gets regurgitated by people trying to fit in to what's popular. It had that synth-pop, rock thing going on, and I thought it was rather well done!

[housecat]

whoaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa?!??!

SWEET. I'm glad I saw this because I didn't know he was coming to town. Freaking awesome.

[measax]

Hummer commercial?

yep...an asa breed aka matthew dear track is the song for the new hummer commercial...

[sl0p0k]

Well shucks... All I have is a TV, DVD player, and Netflix, so no commercials for me!

[DJ Psymon]

Matthew Dear huh??? Nice, I am gonna have to check this out. He definitely impressed me when I have seen him before!

[sl0p0k]

I'll be curious to see this show! At Mutek, they had a small slot in a huge festival, so with this being their show alone with Mobius Band and a lot more performance time together as a band, it'll be nice to see what they bring to the stage as the sole headliner!

[sl0p0k]

Gotta give this a bump back up into the sunlight again! :burnout:

[sl0p0k]

After looking forward to this for over a month, I can't make this show! Grrr... Damn it for being a good friend and a nice guy sometimes!

I want to hear from people on how this show goes!

[dionysiac]

Thursday?!

WHYYYYYYY????!!!!

All the cheesy stuff playing every sat. night and this comes in on thursday.
Sheesh.

[sl0p0k]

No doubt... I had nothing to do with it, otherwise a Saturday night would have been perfect!

[sleaze]

Stoked!

[sl0p0k]

I am going still try and make this, even if I have to leave early to pick my friends up from Union Station. Hopefully their train will be a bit late, although that's kinda shitty for them if it is!

Have them taxi to the show and meet you there...it's not far.

[sl0p0k]

My friend's mom is is 60-something. Not sure she'd be hip on the night! I might pick them up and have them drop me off, take my car, and taxi home.
