I went to a concert last night, electronic music, with good friends next to me. I don't get most electronic acts, we don't connect, me and them. Crowd looking at them, them looking at their computers, pushing buttons, bobbing heads. Darkness, artistic flimsyness on massive silver screen behind them, as if to make up for their lack of communicative skills. Something for the crowd to look at, admitting that their live act is boring. Unless...

"Are you enjoying yourself?"

"Yes"

"Do you have any pills?"

"No"

"Then what are you doing here?"

I think I am getting too old for electronic acts, but then again, I could have sworn I was too young for them last week. I seem to have missed my window of opportunity.

Tonight it's reggae from Aotearoa, I expect them to commnuicate differently through my window.

Update: Katchafire absolutely rocked Crawdaddy Sunday night! A small crowd (lots of them expat Kiwis), not more than 120, at the very most showed up, but the 8 man band really played their hearts out, and people were singing along like crazy. Big up Katchafire, enjoy the rest of your tour in Europe!
