Melbourne Beats

bandpass

it was rubbish. music was extremely ordinary, made worse by talentless circus performers yodeling over the top of it. live drums for dance music seems like a good idea, but it needs some serious practice and a lot of technical know-how to get it working. Opiuo's set was let down by this sort of atte...

bandpass

great gig. sound was great for the openers, but i felt the bass was quite muddy during Autechre's set. these lads really took things deep with the glitched up beats, loved the top-end tweaking

bandpass

^ not sure, but i doubt Rae would be on before 11

GLK did a really short set to didnt he? or did he go for 1 1/2 hours?

nah, it was 1 hour or thereabouts

bandpass

paying $40 and then realising Opiuo wasn't playing =

Spoonbill's set was nice, didn't seem either he or the crowd was totally into it though

Gaslamp Killer was ok, deafeningly loud though.

bandpass

tix on door, right?

bandpass

it was during the encore, went off!

bandpass

^ what? they did play Dr Who, just performed it a bit differently to usual

bandpass

that live set is fantastic, 'cept for the pausing between tracks sometimes but massive live hardware setup so fair enough. honestly i would rather artists DID spend a moment between tunes, loading patches and sequence patterns into their equipment...i'd much rather see a genuinely live show with so...

bandpass

SICK line-up!

bandpass

wtf you mean only 4 members now?

don't break my heart!

bandpass

yeah, it cropped up towards the middle but i only noticed it in one or two tracks...doubt it's memory (that whole show/sequencing) seemed very professional and well-rehearsed (slipping into hooks from tunes and then straight into another track) i'd say more out of breath - he did really well without...

bandpass

amazing gig, at first i wasn't sure about a live band but they did it really well

that Illmatic run of 5 or 6 tracks was stellar! folks went nuts

bandpass

awesome - bonus Chali 2na performance!!

i've been waiting more than a decade to see Nas, super excited!

bandpass

yeah i do wonder if that is the set-list for a non-Melbourne show

seeing as Chali 2na has his own solo gig down here

that's all i've got tho :/

I wonder what time he hits stage?

dunno how reliable this is (didn't realise Chali 2na would be there)

NAS 11.00 - 12.15
CHALI 2NA 9.45 - 10.30
Low Budget 9.15 - 9.30
L-Fresh 8.45 - 9.00

got emailed that today by a friend

bandpass

it's fantastic that this sort of thing is happening, you'll have my support for sure

bandpass

check Lysdexic's set from Somatica:

hope he's playing similar stuff...might drop by after the Wu-Tang show

bandpass

more live Son of Zev performances!!!

please

bandpass

^ BYO aside, think how much better it is to dance outdoors; plenty of space, able to smoke, space for the tunes to breathe rather than slap back off walls....

you gonna send someone around with a hat for donations?

bandpass

^ yep

ended up walking most of way to city....not cool after a long night

bandpass

a big "FUCK YOU" to the security guard who kicked my mate out for 'resting his eyes' on the couch, ruined our evening. what in the FUCK is it with these fucking bouncers. i can understand they don't want some random smacky to just go on the nod there all night, but if you're clearly with o...

bandpass

any chance of set times?

can't wait for Son of Zev - live hardware FTW!

but seriously, bring WATER

bandpass

i'd love to check Excision out, but I can't stand Hi-Fi Bar

bandpass

awesome - can't wait!

bandpass

excellent! can't wait for some fat wobble in the Aussie bush

bandpass

someone told me Goofy was a cow....

i'm not convinced

bandpass

well, where are we gonna draw the line on that one?

gotta be a balance between inclusiveness and security from narcs

bandpass

^ well said, let's keep this subtle so the parties can continue

bandpass

bandpass

i've never felt the music at Hope St

had to bail on the previous one for another warehouse party in Oakleigh, there was actually quite an exodus

bandpass

....details?

most importantly, what sorta tunes?

bandpass

^ good thinking

they're like bush doofs, but without the 3 hour drive. pure looseness

bandpass

Fri 28th - this was one of the best parties i've been to, mad respect to the organisers and soundboys unique location, the thrill of finding it, friendly punters, smoking 'inside', no aggro security, mad tunes, RATM, fat bass, little adventures into the surrounding area.... can't wait for the next o...

bandpass

cheers dude

plenty of time for a little after-work rest to increase dancefloor stamina

see ya there

bandpass

not long now!

what time do things kick off?

bandpass

^ i'm a massive GZA fan, but better than Nas?! c'mon, nah

i'll be at both shows, loose as shit. seeing Liquid Swords live is gonna be epic

bandpass

^ can't fucking wait...been hanging all week for a solid boogie

so, we just show up to Kensington Station, right? can we bring grog?

bandpass

wait...Sunny Day Real Estate?! thought dudes quit

real keen though mate, can't wait for some breakbeat goodness

bandpass

Son of Zev was amazing at More Bass! party last year...can't wait to see dude play again (plus stare with gearlust at his rig)

bandpass

in general a thumbs up to any and all renegade parties though, fucking wicked fun was at a SubBass party down Flockhart St Richmond earlier in the year, amazing. plus the multi-stage party under the Westgate a few months back, that was hugely cool. this Kensington party sounds fun too...hope it's le...

bandpass

sounds ideal.

if there wasn't the risk of a mugging

bandpass

great, thanks for the info

bandpass

what sort of music can we expect?

bandpass

greatest rapper breathing

can't wait to catch the show

Aesop Rock - How to be a Carpenter

"Yo I used to have a rope ladder but
tattered were the rungs,
I strung it from the highest willow, trying to hug the sun
the seventh level buckled and I tumbled from the summit,
now I'm back to re-climb and this time light my
cigarette from it..."

bandpass

keen as!
