We arrived fashionably late, halfway through the first set, and decided that actually we would be better off sitting somewhere where we could see the screen. A worthwhile move to be able to see the stunning montage of footage culled from various sources. Its good to see some political anger making its way back into music. Its something that I’ve not seen done by many recent bands. But was this music or art? I don’t know. On the face of it, its two guys with guitars and synths. When you look a little more you notice theres no live vocals, everything is samples.
At the end of the set everyone disappeared to move on to the next event. Dedicated fans that we are we stuck around awaiting the second performance. And were treated to what essentially became a private showing, everyone else had gone home. A little slicker second time.
I’d like to see them perform again, there’s plenty of mileage in the material and theres no shortage of bizarre video footage out there.
