photos from Genghis Tron last night at the knitting factory.
pure techno rave brutality. live their mixture of electronics and grind really ceoms through quite powerfully, although they had a tendancy to stop between songs like a hardcore band would instead of stringing the music together into a larger experience as a dj/eelctronic artist might. but ill let that slide since they brought the killer RAVE LIGHTS. Daft punk may have better lights but do they have blast beats? exactly. genghis tron 1, daft punk 0.
live they really do come across as a more composed and streamlined version of dillinger escape plan. or rather a streamlined version of dillinger escape plan in 2001. really, what dillinger escape plan would sound like now if they still gave a shit about music and weren't so concerned with shitting on my hope in musicianship and artistry in extreme music.
