All photos by Mike Doyle + Bethany Shorb - most of the good ones by Mike because I was busy doing sound.
[Full set here - warning, 126 photos, we both have "overshooting disease."]
MOTOR live at Oslo - a few reviews:
...Motor gave Oslo a proper fucking last night. The perfect antidote for the crappy minimal thats been circulating lately.
- motor f'n rocked...
- still blown away by motor...
- Definitely a great way to kick off the weekend, and an awesome warmup for Prototype!
- I don't remember the last time I had that much fun at Oslo.
Hands down, one of the best live performances I've ever had the pleasure of attending. Not only were they some of the coolest and most fun people to work with, they were the epitome of professional, prepared and disgustingly technically adept. For those wondering who is going to to be "The Next Hot Shit", there is a lot of red black and white stripes involved. (And yes, the Electro-Industrial Stryper quips were a-flyin'!)
Thanks to everyone who came out, the sound was perfect, the crowd was perfect and the New Dance Show moves that broke out around 11:30pm really took the cake. Also, huge thanks to Ryan Elliott and BMG of Ectomorph for playing exceptional tracks - Brendan one upped us by powers of thousands with the evil. And thanks again to Mike McAdow for the visual assistance!
Mr. No and I had an impromptu golf-ball-sized wasabi eating contest. I think it was a draw but that about sums up the night.
MOTOR will be supporting Nitzer Ebb on tour next month, and we can't wait to go meet them in Chicago on Sept. 16th for more hijinks shennanigans. :)
