come to new zealand, jbeez!

(what's happened to their cover of "slow", btw? was listening to the mayer version the other night & wondered . . .)

I got the impression that they never did it live -- it was a one-off for nick. I'm probably wrong, though.

two weeks pass...

Great show last night. I like how the new songs have more guitar but not overdone, just spacey and moving (made me think of out hud for a moment, in a good way). At the merch table I looked at the mix CD they were selling-5 bux, Superpitcher and maybe Neubaten and I can't remember what else-but didn't buy. Anybody have a full tracklisting or perhaps have it up on slsk?

saw this tour last night. only seven songs from jbz but the three new ones sounded good. especially liked the "sleepwalking" one with the vocordered vocals.

the $5 mix cd tracklisting is ::
international music system - english '93
front 242 - U-men
nu birth - anytime
superpitcher - people
fingers - amnesia
visage - i'm still searching
ron hardy - rappinghood
hand on the plough - work what you got
nick straker - staright ahead
frankie knuckles - it's a cold world
maximum joy -silent street

...the inclusion of the larry heard track is nice,although i would have thought something off of 'alien' might be more appropriate to this mix.

they were really, really good tonight. MUCH better than last fall. the a/c in the venue wasn't working properly, so jeremy was sweating like crazy. so was i. some random guy said that i was the best dancer in the room, haha. the sound was sooo crisp. i loved it.

You know sometimes I think Dean reads EVERY thread.

― Yakuza Ghost Six (nordicskilla), Wednesday, 8 June 2005 05:34 (eighteen years ago) link

he at least reads all the ones I do.

― Yakuza Ghost Six (nordicskilla), Wednesday, 8 June 2005 05:34 (eighteen years ago) link

I guess. It's polyester. (xp)

― jaymc (jaymc), Wednesday, 8 June 2005 05:34 (eighteen years ago) link

Which one is Dean, again?

― jaymc (jaymc), Wednesday, 8 June 2005 05:35 (eighteen years ago) link

― rett bratner (deangulberry), Wednesday, 8 June 2005 05:36 (eighteen years ago) link

Some of them are good, I hear.

― jaymc (jaymc), Wednesday, 8 June 2005 05:38 (eighteen years ago) link

xp keep with it, rett!

― Yakuza Ghost Six (nordicskilla), Wednesday, 8 June 2005 05:39 (eighteen years ago) link

My favorite part of that picture is that there is a pineapple next to Nick's head.

― jaymc (jaymc), Wednesday, 8 June 2005 05:40 (eighteen years ago) link

Well...yes, that is pretty inspired.

― Yakuza Ghost Six (nordicskilla), Wednesday, 8 June 2005 05:40 (eighteen years ago) link

And his eyes look like Little Orphan Annie's.

― jaymc (jaymc), Wednesday, 8 June 2005 05:40 (eighteen years ago) link

Does anyone have that mix CD mentioned upthread??? Nubirth - "Anytime" is one of my all time favorite tracks!

― Spencer Chow (spencermfi), Wednesday, 8 June 2005 05:42 (eighteen years ago) link

hahaha!

This becoming, like, the ultimate ILM thread!

― Yakuza Ghost Six (nordicskilla), Wednesday, 8 June 2005 05:42 (eighteen years ago) link

No! I didn't see any mix CDs at the merch table.

― jaymc (jaymc), Wednesday, 8 June 2005 05:43 (eighteen years ago) link

behind the pineapples

― rett bratner (deangulberry), Wednesday, 8 June 2005 05:43 (eighteen years ago) link

Have any of you gentlemen heard the JBs remix of Billie Holiday's yesterday, perchance?

― Yakuza Ghost Six (nordicskilla), Wednesday, 8 June 2005 05:44 (eighteen years ago) link

I've heard it. It's good but not amazing.

― jaymc (jaymc), Wednesday, 8 June 2005 05:44 (eighteen years ago) link

I like it.

Is it REALLY him?

― Yakuza Ghost Six (nordicskilla), Wednesday, 8 June 2005 05:49 (eighteen years ago) link

(xpost) Brett Ratner is English?

― jaymc (jaymc), Wednesday, 8 June 2005 05:50 (eighteen years ago) link

It is the fellow from the Junior Boys. ON TOPIC, PLEASE.

― jaymc (jaymc), Wednesday, 8 June 2005 05:50 (eighteen years ago) link

nope

― Yakuza Ghost Six (nordicskilla), Wednesday, 8 June 2005 05:50 (eighteen years ago) link

I wanna know if Nate DeY0ung was at the show tonight! I forgot to ask. Or djdee? But he probably would've posted by now if he was.

― jaymc (jaymc), Wednesday, 8 June 2005 05:52 (eighteen years ago) link

a good band.

― cozen (Cozen), Wednesday, 8 June 2005 06:45 (eighteen years ago) link

Saw them on Monday, great show. New material, better stage presence, more bells and whistles that I didn't really need (video) but were pretty cool. Did the Russian Futurists make it to the Chicago date? Apparently they couldn't make it into the country the other day. They were out of the mix cd mentioned upthread when they went through Des Moines, so I missed out..

― mike h. (mike h.), Wednesday, 8 June 2005 16:18 (eighteen years ago) link

Nope, I don't think the Futurists are expected until Cleveland.

― jaymc (jaymc), Wednesday, 8 June 2005 16:19 (eighteen years ago) link

one year passes...

Anyone going to see then tomorrow at The Luminaire, London??

Anyone want spare ticket?

― Tannenbaum Schmidt (Nik), Wednesday, 9 August 2006 18:43 (seventeen years ago) link

ANYONE??? I HAVE SPARE TICKET - NEED TO GET RID OF. thanks

― Tannenbaum Schmidt (Nik), Wednesday, 9 August 2006 21:02 (seventeen years ago) link

six months pass...

Should I go see them tonight?

― baaderonixx, Monday, 26 February 2007 13:48 (seventeen years ago) link

YES

― lex pretend, Monday, 26 February 2007 13:52 (seventeen years ago) link

The show in London at Dingwalls last week was dead good, despite technical difficulties. Bonde do Rolle were fun as well.

― Neil S, Monday, 26 February 2007 13:59 (seventeen years ago) link

yeah it was great - sound a bit muddy though, and i really really hate dingwalls.

― lex pretend, Monday, 26 February 2007 14:10 (seventeen years ago) link

Is there a supporting act? Right now the thing I wanna do is to go to bed, so I wouldn't mind if it finished early...

― baaderonixx, Monday, 26 February 2007 14:12 (seventeen years ago) link

There were three support acts in London ...

I was at Dingwalls too, never having seen them before. I emailed a mate about it, which I'll just copy here:

"It was good but odd. I don't know how you imagined him, but I thought he would be thin and in his late 20s. He was portly and in his early 30s. There were lots of technical problems and so when he was talking to the crowd rather than singing this came across too much. Rather spoilt the mystique. When they got going this was less of a problem. He has a lovely voice and it kind of transforms him when he sings.

It actually worked really well live. There was him singing and playing guitar or bass (doing some of the bass bits that are electronic on the records), a keyboards/electronics/laptop guy and a drummer, who was doing lots of accents and hi-hat patterns and stuff, although the main beats were still electronic. But somehow the fact they were clearly a really good tight band in control of the material also detracted from the mystique. It was interesting, as you could see what was making each noise (this made me think of the New Order video to Perfect Kiss), but perhaps I wanted something more futuristic and seamless."

Bondo do Rolle WERE good!

I like Dingwalls, as well. But the crowd were a bit shit.
