That's the boat thing, right? What's it like there, I've never been... > it was an amazing show (heavier than new forms though)... Oh, now you're teasing me :-) I *wish* I could have been there. The heavier stuff like Dope Dragon is my favourite and they just slam down when they DJ, and they always play some really fresh stuff. I've only seen them once (Suv, Die, Krust and Size DJing in that order) but it was seriously life-changing stuff. > and roni and krust were there (actually, ended up dancing with them a > bit--further reinforcing the notion that those who _make_ d n b are no > better at dancing than those who _listen_) Yeah, they're cool blokes. The fame's not going to their heads and they pretty much always come out on the dancefloor or to the bar while the others are DJing. The night at the Thekla is their home-base kind of thing where they can just relax and hook up with old and new people. > anyway, check em out .. even though it was only die mixing, it was still > damn good and i'm pretty sure reprazent would sound similar ... Reprazent live isn't as good IMO, although still worth checking out just because of the ambitiousness of it. Needs a good sound system to fully appreciate it, not the usual studenty guitar band venues where the sound is muddy as hell. They may have revised their set since last year for the new tour, but when I saw them I wanted them to be a but more varied. We got Share The Fall 3 times, and as much as I love that song, three times is just too much. It makes them sound like they haven't got enough songs to fill a set, which just aint the case at all. Anyway, time to advance plug my website again. It's dedicated to the music of the above people and 'Bristol drum and bass' in general (although I hate to use this term 'cos it doesn't mean anything it's just useful for identifying what's going on instead of saying Full Cycle/V/Dope Dragon/Studio Drum/etc etc etc). Should be going up in about a week or so. I'll post the URL and more info then. gb.
