Show Description:
This is a rediculous lineup, any one of these acts on their own
could constitute a show, much less all 4 of them. Plexus
leads the way with the return of their terminator-esque drummer
Toby Ralph (man or machine?), his first time back with them in Boston
since January. Plexus
is the essence of livetronica: Ferocious drum'n'bass beats with
some breaks; thick treble coming in from synth layers, luscious
guitar melodies, and tripped-out samples; bass all over the place;
and though putting out a totally electronic vibe, the capacity to
jam and play a fully improvised set.
Toby will serve as a bridge,
linking together Plexus's set with world class
DJ Justin Bailey. Bailey will spin very smooth drum'n'bass
that will get your ass moving. He will be joined in part by
Toby Ralph, who will provide an insane live element by stepping
behind the drum kit. Prior to this, going on at around 10:15, is
Kenwood Dennard's Meta-Tronica 4.0 (featuring Tube).
Kenwood Dennard is one of the best drummers of all time, and he
has assembled his answer to the live drum'n'bass craze with a full
band that's on a very esoteric wavelength. Rounding out the
treble will be Jungle Sky producer and live PA master Frank Heiss.
The Mobius Band will
ignite things at around nine o'clock. This guys are the best.
They combine elements of ninja tune trip hop (soft, trippy, sample-smart
and oozing) with hard-core drum'n'bass (fully organic sounding)
and more traditional rock sounds. Highly talented, they've
got it all, including great vocals and killer musicianship.
They're going on early because you should be there that early. We
will also do our best to make the show as visually stimulating as
possible. Andy Cass, our lighting guy, will give the stage
a nice glow while we project a nice array of visuals behind the
band. We will have both a movie going on and some flowing
liquid visuals, the best of both worlds. |
