Hey all...I don't have the physical copy yet, but I've been listening to a streamed promo version of The Complex, the second album from the guys most people know mostly from those Intel commercials. It's pretty darn good. There's a track with Tracy Bonham on vocals that rocks hard. The Dave Matthews track is okay. And a little more of the humor from the stage show built into it ("Rock concert basic movement one: the one-armed fist pump. Ready, go."). Anyway, the CD is in stores today, so I thought I'd do my part to hype...I mean...help out. Later, COZ
I haven't heard much of there music but would love to see one of there shows. Sadly, I can't see myself getting out to Vegas anytime soon and the tix are 80 bucks on top of that. Do they release any video's or what that be a kind of commiseration goal for not seeing them live?
They're not just in Vegas. They have shows in Chicago, New York and Boston as well, only not quite as *big*, and not with Tim Alexander from Primus in the backup band. Not cheap here, either, but you can try for those half-price day of show tickets. Later, COZ
Thier show is awesome, definitely worth seeing. Actually, they play in more places than Vegas, or at least they used to. Both times I saw them was in NYC, right near the Village. I even got to be a part of the show the 2nd time That being said, I'm not sure how a cd from them will work. They are more of a visual act IMO.
They used to (still might) have shows at the Briar St. Theater. It is easily one of the best shows in an medium that I have ever seen. I saw it with a large group of family members ranging from 10 to 80 and everyone loved it. There is something primal to the beats that everyone can get into. A week following the show I went out and bought their CD "Audio," and as soon as I get the chance I will go out and purchase "The Complex." If you haven't seen them, go. The visual aspect of the show is the actual show, but the music is great. I like to drive and study to it because it can provide energy when you blast it, and is nice background music when played softly.
