The gig on the 9th of October can only be described as a roaring success, with a showcase of Sydney's best electro-visual acts.
Manky Cranks is one of the best djs I've had the pleasure to get down to. Effortlessly adapting to using CD-Rs (she usually uses vinyl, old-skool), Lil Mankily Cranked out some deep tech and glitched-out goodness. Words don't really do justice, she was utterly awesome.
Yellowbird as usual, were totally out of their minds. Ty climbed on speakers, collapsed, and generally stalked around the stage like an enraged prophet fortelling the end of the world through the medium of punktronica.
Cut Assemble Insert rocked our eye sockets with an incredible blend of eye and ear candy. Props to Tom and Myles for a monumental montage of sound and image, from traffic, to superheroes, to porn.
Finally, we've adjusted the Spex set to take advantage of some of our technology so we can play a seamless, DJ-style show, with no stops. We played for 45 minutes without a break from start to finish, which I think was a bit harder on Jez who has to bash the drums the whole time.
Ben Garden from Grafton Primary was at the gig and said some nice things about our set, at which point we ran to the bathroom before we wet ourselves.
But anyway, to the photographic evidence. Thanks again to Shane who always does a bang-up job behind the lens.
