10:12 am - Listen to my stream
There is very little photographic evidence that I played at the DNA last night, but my audio performance was one of my best. You can listen to the stream here April 10 9:00 (that link won't work forever.) About 3 minutes in you'll here me come in. The mix takes a little getting used to because the vocals are always extra loud in the streams, they're also dry compared to what you hear in the cavernous club, therefore unforgiving on any flaws. Also the cello is way too quiet for my taste. But it's good as a historical document, and I was really pleased with my performance. The audience was small but I heard good feedback from lots of people. They were really quiet and polite listening to me.
Kaura was brilliant. They put on a great show, and have an excellent sound. It's interesting music that ROCKS. I wished I could hear Yosh a bit better, but that's what happens when "real" instruments compete with rock instruments. The aerial performance during one of the songs was amazing.
Gamelan X were really interesting. They were not what I expected based on the myspace selections. They had live clarinet, sax, and trombone, 1-3 people playing gamelan (they switched around), some percussionists including 1 person on a rock kit, and a guy a played basslines on the keyboard. I definitely wished he would change up the keyboard sound a bit as the throbbing was getting to me at the end of the night. But still, definitely a cool band with a great, if truly weird, sound, and stoners were dancing to them all through their set so they achieved their goal I think. We left around 1:00 because we were dead tired so we didn't see all the dancers come out with costumes as I assume they were going to do at the end of the set.

Thanks again for playing with us last night,
all my bandmates commented on how much you rocked!
It was great to hear you on a better sound system than
Edinburgh Castle or Rawhide.
I have to check but I'm pretty sure I have your entire set recorded off the board if you want it. I was testing in preparation to record our set and of course it threw an error half way through anyways :P

What she said - You guys have a "thing". I can see it catching on fo sho.
"Gamelan" is not an instrument, but essentially a term for various types of Indonesian orchestras. There are many different types of Gamelan orchestras, much like there are jazz, classical, and klezmer Orchestras. Saying "gamelan orchestra" is pretty redundant, much like "ATM Machine".
The big metal nipple looking things are called "reongs".

Thanks sweetie! These would probably look fine scaled down 50%. I like the last one a lot!
