Members SwanSong68 Posted June 5, 2008 Members Share Posted June 5, 2008 The first impression I'm getting is kinda meh. I get the feeling that there are better jam bands, electronic bands, and bands that do both similarly. Maybe seeing them live for free tonight will change my mind.

Members rileykill Posted June 5, 2008 Members Share Posted June 5, 2008 Same experience as you - bought one of their records and couldn't really get into it ... supposedly the live show is better Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members The Zebra Posted June 5, 2008 Members Share Posted June 5, 2008 live they are good - (with drugs of course), but if they got rid of the guitarist they would be much better - he limits the group. they are binded by the guitarist and they are binded by their earlier songs which people still want to hear - but they want to be an electronic band - they are changing dramatically Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members RoboPimp Posted June 5, 2008 Members Share Posted June 5, 2008 they have neither disco nor biscuits at the shows but what they do have is enjoyable to my ears. Not my favorite "jam band" but certainly a good group of guys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members arcarsenal72 Posted June 5, 2008 Members Share Posted June 5, 2008 agreed... meh but as others have said, live show is supposed to be good. i'm not a huge fan of the raver scene Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Kid_A Posted June 5, 2008 Members Share Posted June 5, 2008 oh, the band!:love: then the next day :poke: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members metguitar Posted June 5, 2008 Members Share Posted June 5, 2008 seen them live a couple times. they're alright, definitely for peeps who like rock opera/trancey type stuff. sts9 does it for me a bit more as an electronic "jam band" though. can't say i didnt have fun at the show though i totally agree about the guitarist Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members metguitar Posted June 5, 2008 Members Share Posted June 5, 2008 i must say though if you guys wanna give them a chance go to archive.org and download their set from 6-26-07 where they played under the name tractorbeam (no vocals). pretty much the best ive heard from them, damn good set Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members TechBrother Posted June 5, 2008 Members Share Posted June 5, 2008 I've seen them over a dozen times over the last 6 years and I have very mixed emotions about them.Firstly I think that they should NEVER sing. It's bad enough hearing one bad vocalist but hearing three bad vocalists try to harmonize is a little unbearable. I saw them play a set at All Good in '03 or '04 that was amazing. They played from 1am til sunrise. I saw them play a free show in the middle of Baltimore where they covered Run Like Hell and that was one of the best sets I've ever seen from any jamband. I saw them two weeks ago in Philly and was pretty disappointed with both sets I saw. I think I'm at the point that I'm not really into them anymore. My band is playing at Starscape with them this Saturday and I really I hope I can meet them. I've met them briefly in the past and they seem like cool guys. Their new drummer Allen is SICK!If you like electronic jambands check out Lotus, Sound Tribe Sector 9, Lake Trout (only old albums), or my band Segway ( www.myspace.com/segwayonline ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Beef Posted June 5, 2008 Members Share Posted June 5, 2008 Could never really get into them. I'll second TechBrother though and say I vastly prefer STS9. If you want an electronic jam band check those guys out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members SwanSong68 Posted June 6, 2008 Author Members Share Posted June 6, 2008 They were better live. I didn't stay too long tho. STS 9 is the better electronic jam band I was referring to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
