Perhaps they should've played Silent Property to make the point a bit
stronger?
Anyways, I think a lot of their attitude stems from disgust about the
whole electroclash hype. Here's the article about it:
http://www.eye.net/eye/issue/issue_06.13.02/thebeat/adult.html
I guess I can understand that they're afraid of a backlash against all
artists painted with the electroclash marketing brush (though
"electroclash sucks" just doesn't have a good ring to it), and that a
number of artists are jumping on the bandwagon before they've developed
their own sound (or can even do a live show), but I think the people who
were pushing this sound before it became popular will continue to have a
following even after everything plays out.
Looking forward to hearing them play in TO tonight...

The only thing that stood out to me, is before ADULT. played "hand to
phone" Nicola said something like "this is an old one from awhile
back, a
few of you might know this one"
Are they so "popular" now that all their fans are THAT new??
Dunno just thought that was weird.
Their set was great though. Magas also rocked. Great schizophrenic
dancing,
that man. : )
Both of them could have played much longer, imho.
I am definetly happy I came out, despite rumors that the redwings chaos
would get in my way.

last night: ADULT.
AM
Last night, in Saint Andrew's in Detroit, Adult. performed while the
Redwings took the Cup. The audience was pretty into it, despite all the
hoopla outside in
downstairs in the bar.
Was anyone else there? I am curious to hear your impressions. Sorry if
this
is slightly off-topic.
Magas played before Adult. Before Magas, this tall skinny guy in a
blazer
spun records. He looked kind of like the late Ian Curtis. I am also
curious
if anyone knows who he is. He played some good stuff, but he wasn't on
the
bill.
