-Crooked Fingers, especially when they covered "Age of Consent"
-Captured by Robots-- because it's not everyday that you see robots rocking out while arguing with their human slave.
other than that, i'm having a hard time coming up with any truly stand out show since seeing Mission of Burma late last year.

(="best live act" as in "musically the most exciting". i mean, they didn't exactly jump around a lot or anything like that :-)

It's hard finding a stand-out show, for me, because virtually all the gigs I've been to this year have been fantastic.

The demo got them their deal with Arena Rock...
Have you seen the 'sonics play as Crosby, Stills, Hash & Young? I sang with them at a party last summer during one of those shows.

Lightning Bolt are always amazing; The Coachwhips were a dance party of fun; Rotten Piece was great;Hair Police looked like a rock and roll band and sounded like Merzbow; The Chinese Stars' first show made me miss Arab on Radar even more, but I think in time the Stars will give me the same kind of rush; Deerhoof were amazing live, especially the drummer. The second guitar adds a lot;The first time I saw It's A Fucking Trap I thought I was going to die;I was really high when I saw The Intima and they were very intense/mathy--their volume was also incredible.

But then, i'm seeing Broadcast tonight in London and the new material rocks hard on record, so who knows?

Ian Johnson writes:Hair Police looked like a rock and roll band and sounded like Merzbow;
they must have improved significantly in the last year and a half.

nick, the carlsonics news is very good. aside from the first song, the record is great. one track ("ice people") sounds like a marquee moon outtake!
