i've never heard of them; are they good live?

:p

i'm impatient, too...

:D

work can suck my balls.so can the sun.im not in the mood to be sweaty!

I must confess to having never seen GZA live

but, well, he's The Genius as the name suggests so surely it's worth a dabble? Dalek were great when I saw them in January, even if they didn't do anything from Absence.

cool cool.

GZA has early bird tickets at 6 bucks less a piece, so i'm tempted...however, i've only heard Liquid Swords: is his other stuff good?

I've only heard Beneath the Surface

the rhymes are as good as you'd expect but the beats are only functional, really - no RZA production on there.

But I'd go anyway and just go apeshit at any Liquid Swords tracks if I were you.

dalek is awesome live

see them if you can. it's intense.

gza can be hit and miss

just like the rest of the wu

^^

Agreed. Saw GZA at Portishead ATP and while he seemed pretty good as an MC, he was constantly plagued by sound problems. Maybe not his fault, who knows?

It also isnt much more than the tracks being done as they are on the album. No surprises, unless you count the other Wu tracks he plays as surprises.

Digitalism

is actually pretty good live. The remixes they play of their songs work really well on stage, so if you're in for a night of good dance/electro-music, it's definitely worth it. Their performance is not that special (just as with other electro duo's, they kinda just stand there) but the projections are pretty cool! And where I saw them (Amsterdam & Werchter) the crowd loved it, so the atmosphere is great anyhow ^^

Their set was

mainly pre-recorded when I saw them last year. The only 'live' bits were when the skinny one sang and the fatter one banged an electronic drum pad.

yeah but The Prodigy did this until Always Outnumbered...

and they've always been amazing live.

Do you contest the above, that they're worth watching?

I thought they

were good but not great when I saw them but i'm not a huge fan of their music anyway.

Having said that

I would pretty much concur with Tael.

Digitalism are touring?!

I'm well out of the loop...go and see Dalek, I saw them when I was 15 supporting Tomahawk and I was really impressed. GZA would be really good to see as well, I imagine.

i missed Tomahawk =(

Dalek's sounding like it's a must. Only 10 quid, too.

Digitalism are touring, aye: rescheduled dates (they're now in September)

Dalek definitely

Are you coming to NBC ATP?

If you can afford time off your course and the money, then you DEFINITELY should :)

my mate

loves digitalism live. hes seen em many a time, so i guess there good.
