A little off topic so I’ll keep it short and simple.
The tour kicked off in Vancouver B.C on the 8th
which I miss but I caught the show in
Ben Stokes from DHS
(also collaborated w/ Emergency Broadcast Network ages ago) was on hand for
what I though pre-tour to be a video show for MBM, boy was I wrong! The main set and encore was EBN
style using video clips as beat-loops and samples to the over-all performance
using four projector’s, four apple laptops (three for video) and a full
electronic trap set (drum kit). Surprisingly at least one song from each major
release was played to include ‘Hello Teenage America’ which was
only played on their very first tour only this time it was quiet a major re-mix
lasting 8+ minutes. So between the mix of previous hits plus four tracks from
the new album, there was something there for the new and old fans alike.
The set overall was about an hour and a half total and was
opened by Dub-Trio (from N.Y) who did a very nice (but a tad redundant) set.
Cheers
