chicks on speed had tons of instruments (read: gear) on stage when they 'played' but never touched anything. they just sang along to the album tracks with the vocals muted. worst show ever.

I saw Gold Chains a week or so ago and he just danced and rapped along to his laptop. He had two women singing with him and he said that he'd brought them instead of guitars.

The three of them were very good. So good the crowd demanded an encore but he'd turned his laptop off so while it re-booted one of the women got to tell us some jikes, which were pretty damn funny, but I can't remember what they were. One was about a Whale.

They were rocking the airpad pretty hard when I saw them. Unfortunetly the airpad just went wosh wosh, fun toy to play at home but did nothing for the show.

ddd, was that show in Boston? Cuz I saw that spectacle there. Yeah, ironic disco-porn-Peaches-shit is horseshit. At the very least Har Mar and Paul Barman write actual funny lyrics. These other people just think it's fucking genius just to say "fuck" and be white.

As for drum machines, Iboxes itself, I don't mind as long as the beats/songs/dancing is good. I just can't handle the uninspired sex-obsession. Peaches needs to get fucked, and I'm sure she'd agree.

no, that was the show in montreal. but i guess when you just sing along to album backing tracks it all kinda ends up the same

Last Tuesday evening was spent freestyling with Cex in my friend's basement after a show he did at William and Mary...

I'm sorry, but that sounds about as fun as having a jam session with Anal Cunt.

Well it didn't fuckin' RAWK if that's what you're wondering...

two months pass...

i dunno. this is very hard to pull off and it's almost always disappointing. kind of like folk music. not to be a list kiss-ass, but the only one i've seen do it well is momus cuz he's fuckin' funny. anyone trying to 'rawk' or be sexy or take themselves at all seriously in this karaoke format gives me that uncomfortable embarassed feeling. ie. peaches (though i actually do dig her music), taylor savvy (oy vey!), ping pong bitches, etc. if you have no talent and nothing to say (or even just a little talent and something kinda sorta to say), i would suggest distracting people with cool outfits and lots of people playing instruments. it's an old trick, but it still seems to work ok.

and on an 'uninspired sex-obsession' tangent, i don't get it either. who cares if electroclash is all about sex? who wants to fuck anyone with such horrificly bad style as those folks?
