Subject: Afx Twin & Sneaker Pimps (fwd)
Just thought I'd share my boy Moonstarr's review with everyone:
Just wanted to let y'all know about the Afex Twin concert last night.
Luke Vibert opened and tryed to spin a set but was unsucessful. At the
government/warehouse the turntables float on elastic bands. This means
that nothing sucessful can be achived. If you try to do anything on them,
the needles jump around like House of Pain. Also out of the three
turntables in the booth, only one was working. So L.Vibert had to stop the
record take it off and play another. BTW it was all jungle / no hip hop.
This went on till about 10:30 then the sneaker pimps came on. They sounded
like shit.
Luke tryed to get on the decks again after the sneaker pimps but what can
you do on one table!?!
Afex was up next and his on stage setup was a couch and a table. He was
using a powerbook mac with a couple of effects units. It was really dark
but all he was doing was sitting on the couch.
Then these big flourescent teddy bears came out on stage and started
dancing around. Thier faces had that infamous AFX portrait where he looks
evil as fuck. It was strange... very strange. His music was just as i
expected, remixed live and barely recognizable. Sounded good though.
