Getting substantially close enough to make me excited now!

"I am a child living in the body of Juri Gagarin. He is empty like a corpse. His eyes move slowly like radars. First comes the idea then the technology. Children are angels, sometimes they fall into nothingness. I am Juri's ventriloquist." - Felix Kubin

From Alex Denney's Drowned in Sound review of the One More Grain, Silver Apples and Felix Kubin gig in London last wednesday:

"Watching Felix Kubin, most famously of ‘80s noiseniks Klangkrieg, flit excitably between keyboard and sequencer, it’s impossible to shake the image of Antoine de Caunes (he of Eurotrash notoriety) hamfistedly spoofing Kraftwerk. Suave and yet wearing the expression of a man for whom absurdity is always lurking round the corner, his self-professed Dada-electronics have found illustrious company in labelmates Mouse On Mars, although in truth Kubin’s pumped-up blend of kraut and techno influences is somewhat sunnier of aspect than the aforementioned duo, brimming with cute touches that immediately endear him to this evening’s apparently hard-to-please audience."

Although there were problems - Mr Kubin was awesome. I dearly hope Dizzy Storm could snare him back soon! for full dance floor carnage!!!

[Dizzy Storm]

yes totally bizarre night.... will fill you in

a drip started from the roof above the dance floor before midnight i think...it turned into two drips...then 3...it kinda started raining on the dancefloor.... staff tried to keep it at bay with cardboard/buckets/mops and the dance floor was cordoned off....it wasnt getting any better though!...it was coming from Five upstairs appartantly....

amongst a lot of confusion we got Felix started on stage with everyone having to watch from afar...but a few songs in it was announced we had to close the venue and evacuate everyone. bummer!...by the time we left the 'drips' which was actually more like rain were spreading further into the venue and happening above the bar now....total shame for the venue, really hope they get it sorted/cleaned up today, especially for their sold out Vitalic night tonight


BUT yes felix was awesome for what we got to see...he made the best of it, made us laugh, and quickly got his recording equipment out and took the opportunity to record the noise of the drips raining down into various buckets/containers, and the droning of the fire alarm !!

c'est la vie. he'll be back...in a few years maybe
