Prefuse 73 with Live Band, Gaslamp Killer, Voices Voices - Soundlab Buffalo 1/21/10


Arriving at soundlab which is a great little club there was a big crowd and an expectant air of excitement. Gaslamp Killer was dropping his brand of dubstep with his wild hair and infectious dancing behind the decks i was expecting a fun night.
Then Prefuse 73 and cohorts took the stage and for a while the crowd was into it but after a while it just got tedious fast they would hit a great beat and then just destroy it with noise. i don't mind feedback noise etc being a fan of artists like Sonic youth to lightning bolt but there really seemed no point to it. With little or no crowd interaction people either left or just seemed confused. The two tracks from One Word Extinguisher near the end were the highlights for sure but they were to little to late the set ended muted applause and no calls for an encore pretty much summed up the mood. very disappointing.
As a side note i have heard Prefuse 73 solo shows are fantastic, maybe next time.
