i was wondering what peoples thoughts are on LIVE electronic music. what do you expect as a paying customer to see?
is there still a lot of negativity generated towards po-face'ed laptop sets? or what about dubplates sets?
personally i'm not into acts that dress up and prance around unless they really have some kinda measured pose that is integral to their work. v/vm's pig masks come to mind, that shared intensity is for real.
if the music is good then should it matter what happens live?
i have no objection hearing / seeing artists dj their own work, being the selector with little or no live trickery. venetian snares is great 'live' but as far as i can tell he doesn't seem to do much on stage.
are there exceptions to be found within jamaican sound system culture? are there some artists that clash wearing a bunny suit or some other type of comedy garb?
i share pretty much the same perspective as mike banks, which is to believe that the many gig attenders don't hear music when the ego is placed in front of the sound. i've done that thing of having bought a record excitedly after a show but realising the next day the band are utter shit, having been lured in by that magnetic charisma!
i've noticed a current trend for promoters to list artist as being either LIVE of dj. is this to avoid complaints?
what's the consensus dissensus? i'd be interested in hearing everyones thoughts as to what they expect from an electronic music show.........
forgive me if you think that this is BORING subject but i've been out of the gig loop for a few years now.
