The Fest: Electronic Music ShowcaseThe Fest: Electronic Music Showcase
The Fest has always been dominated by punk-rock but had a decent amount of folk, pop, and hip-hop to offer. It always seemed to be missing.... Electronic!
Electronic SubSouth are putting an end to that with the first ever Electronic Music Showcase on Friday October 27th at Club Red. It's also one of the few shows where you can buy a single pass if you don't happen to have a wristband.
Here's the lineup:
8:00pm - Sidecar Racer are two creepy guys in creepy masks with lab coats on playing simple but catchy mixes. Check out the video to see these guys get down.
8:50pm - Sephiroth Chorus combines a bit of New Order with electronica to create this self-proclaimed "commie art pop".
9:40pm - Koabra seems like a typical DJ to me. Good if you are the get drunk and club type, otherwise you can probably skip it. (Just in case you are that type here's a video of him live)
10:30pm - Johan Ess is referred to on their website as a s(he). You can be the judge of that. The music gets a little too noise-goth for me but I'm sure it will be a good photo-op.
11:20pm - Chiisai-Oto (Tiny Sound in Japanese) is our very own Podbop Editor Cory blippin and boopin with his bandmate (and soundboard extraordinare) Alan. Chill stuff with a few unexpected surprises.
12:10am - The Viirus is a local DJ with no formal music training, just makin some beats he loves. And it's good. Listen to "Kata" on his myspace.
1:00am - Via Amsterdam, Bunnay seem to be more performance art than music art, but I'm all for something different. Check out their video of a performance in Gainesville last year. Bunnay is actually the one whipping people, the bunny is known as Dog. Go figure.
noisemaker first....DJ second. :)
