Gameboy/Gamegirl, Scientists of Modern Music, Theatre of Disco
What better way to start the festival season than a free gig at the swanky soco cargo bar at the garden of unearthly delights with some of Australia's wackiest electronic acts.
First up was Theatre of Disco apparently an infamous sydney group. I somehow was misinformed and had heard that they had fat suits. After you expect fat suits everything is a disappointment.
they had some pretty cool cowbell filled electro jams vaguely resembling the Chemical Brothers at their most exotic
The vocalist sounded like a mixture of Muse and a chipmunk version of Vanilla Ice, but in a good way!
2 Many Djs have a lot to answer for. They didn't invent the mashup but they sure made it chic. They are also in part responsible for these guys deciding that it would be a good idea to rap over daft punk, dance in unison to salt n pepa's push it, cover Rick Ross's Hustlin' and have a song called sweaty wet/dirty damp. And we should be thank 2 many Djs cause these guys are the pinnacle of awesome.
Probably one of the funnest act of the year!
Its best not to ask about this
With remixes of indie rock songs being so ubiquitous, some even more popular than the original, its only a matter of time before bands decide to bypass the rock aspect totally. Instead just use sampled drums, synthesizers and vocoder. Their raw energy has to be admirable. for most of the performance they were just a blur of motion.
I loved some of their songs which kinda had a doctor who theme feel.
They also had matching outfits.
They got a pretty fickle ADD crowd dancing which was no mean feet.
