Hands at Gigs

Changing audience habits in live shows the last half century. 

Elvis Costello and the Attractions - ‘Chelsea’

(via themusicnextdoor-deactivated201)

Playback is the new Live!

Two olograms and Vocaloid, a voice synth developed by Spanish university Pompeu Fabra and Yamaha.

The video shows a live, in Japan. Live has a new meaning.

I don’t think that Seth Godin had exactly this in his mind in his post Why we prefer live but I have to admit that some bands are much more worst than two holograms with Vocaloid.

Btw do we have to countdown for an Elvis or Beatles hologram world tours?

There are at least three reasons why someone might pay five or ten or a hundred times more to see a concert than the CD costs (not to mention the value difference: you can listen to the download again and again but the live gig is gone forever):

• There are people around you, fellow travelers, magnetic energy, shared joy.
• Something might go wrong. The artist is like a tightrope walker, taking big chances and the drama it creates is engrossing.
• You might be surprised. Something new and wonderful might happen and it might jar you awake.

And yet, people in the ‘live’ business—restaurants, people doing presentations, the concierge at the hotel—often work hard to avoid getting anywhere near any of the three.

That’s why I’m trying to organize the concerts I don’t want to miss with the help of SongKick 

Menomena - “TAOS”

This is by far my favorite song on Menomena’s Mines album. 

The lyrics are rather appropriate for what’s going down in my world.  This song has become the anthem to my next chapter in life. 

I’m not the most cocksure guy
but I get more bold with every smile

Here’s a video of them just wailing out the song live on KEXP:

Atari Teenage Riot are back and can’t wait for their upcoming show!

If you don’t know them I can only say that is one of the favorite bands of Trent Reznor, Wu Tang Clan, Rage Against The Machine, El P, KMFDM and many many more. That’s why in most of the cases ATR were personally picked by the bands above to open their shows.

Listen their new single Activate on the SoundCloud player
