Got to the show late, so I missed the opening band, Orbit Service – good local band. As we walked in I saw lights & heard beats coming out of the main room, almost like a rave…pretty weird for the Larimer Lounge. The beats were good, sort of industrial/trance, good visuals and a gogo dancer. Went to the bar and didn’t pay much attention. I later found out that was Cevin Key, duh!
Dead Voices on Air came on next, great performance. Mark Spybey is the master of sounds. He played some new & old material and it went well with the visuals. Sounded like Coil/Elph at times and the end of his set reminded me a lot of Deutsch Nepal & SPK. The only problem was the venue – don’t get me wrong, the Larimer Lounge is a great bar but this show, especially Dead Voices on Air would’ve been much better seated in a theater with a big screen in the background and some good drugs. Like Mr. Spybey said, “it’s music for the eyes.”
