Fun Stuff > BAND

Fooled by the live music?

A while back I went to go watch a relatively new band at the time Reclined. they were running around selling copies of their EP...chuck in the CD player while driving home and the buggers had burnt the CD as PC audio files...could only listen to it on my PC...bit of a let down

Psiogen:
Super Furry Animals are great, and Guerrilla is unquestionably their best. Ah well...

I bought Forget Cassettes' album after seeing them open for the Trail of Dead. It was pretty disappointing.

I also had the opposite experience, getting a free Josh Joplin CD that he tossed into the audience during a show (opening for TMBG.) He wasn't that great live, but it's actually a really good album.

honest_that_way:
Yes were poor live sfa, which was mighty dissapointing, so therefore am i annoyed they are playing Dundee when i'm back in Manchester or slightly nonchalent? White Light Motorcade or whatever were quite rocking live but awful album, like Britpop discovering self-respect, horrible. Maybe it's triple worded bands? Hmmm

muffy:
Meh..I missed SFA dj-ing last night at my local indie club as it was my mum's birthdayso I went home instead...

mechorg:
This may be not quite the answer you were looking for, but this is my opinion on live music.

Being a musician involves two very different settings to perform in; one is a very technical and controlled environment like a studio, the other is the high energy rush of a live show in front of a real audience.  Some bands are better in one setting than the other and that's just the way things go.  

By belief is that the musicians that are excellent in live shows that "fool you" are the good talented artists that feed off the live energy of the audience.  This doesn't always transform very well into the studio environment.

I'm going to with-hold my "real bands make their money from selling out world tours, not over-producing an album that gets downloaded and squeal to the riaa" rant for some other time.
