Subject: [Orb] [MBM] tour
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
