[borntohula]

thanks man. i may just try to attend that.

[saturnine]

for that price, you can't go wrong. i'll be there.

[Shortcut To Moncton]

Neat band. They remind me of the band Hum--tons of feedback and can barely hear the vocals.

[shade]

I'm going.

[borntohula]

i will not be, i'll be up in barrie doing work. le siiiigh.

[MuttersomeTaxicab]

God. Damn. Right.

 

I saw these guys when they came to town with These Arms Are Snakes a while back. One of the best concerts I've ever been to. Mare's live show is incredible as well.

 

So fucking excited.

[saturnine]

can't wait.

[shade]

It is tonight.

[saturnine]

'tis, indeed.

[MuttersomeTaxicab]

Ye gods. Amazing show.

 

Polmo Polpo seemed to be trying to be seen as un-electronica as possible.

 

A lot of feedback. Reminded me of the underbelly of jesu.

 

Good shit overall, though.

 

Loved the new isis stuff.

[shade]

Great show. I almost didn't get in, I look hella young.

[mrs jesus]

how was it, S9?

[saturnine]

fucking sweet. picked up a ltd. ed. live isis vinyl. 1/1000.

[mrs jesus]

awesome

 

do they sound the same live?

[saturnine]

pretty much. but heavier. if possible.

[shade]

They sound way better live.

 

As for Polmo Polpo (the very first opener), he sounded a lot worse than his albums.

[saturnine]

i got to the venue at 10:30 and only saw a song and a bit from mare. wass nothing special.

[MuttersomeTaxicab]

First time I saw Mare, I wasn't hugely impressed, but I caught them a few other times, and they really got under my skin. I really dug the new song they played at the beginning of their set.

 

 

As for Polmo Polpo... I really dig the Science of Breath. As techno goes, that's my jam. But haven't heard his other stuff. He seemed to be really uncomfortable, though. Set up his merch booth, but left it alone for pretty much the entire night, then he started packing it up, real fast.

 

And yeah, Isis sounds much more immediate with their live show. They seemed to be more comfortable making some aspects of Panopticon more aggressive... At least it seemed that way.

 

Kinda bummed that Isis didn't have much in the way of tshirts kicking around. Comforted myself with picking up Silver by Jesu, and Celestial/Sgnl05 by Isis.
