Caribou: face melting.
-
Artist:
I decided to spend Halloween with Caribou because they seem to like costumes and the two times I've seen them before (once as Manitoba) are still holding strong in my personal list of top live music experiences. I think its the combination of the double drummers, the projected animations, and the bizarre pre-recorded components. (Sometimes, despite all the excess on stage, the vocals are pre-recorded. You really couldn't spare a singer? Dan Snaith seems to be only playing recorder...)Last night's show was at a bigger venue, so the effect was a little less concentrated, but the festive audience mood made up the difference.The relevance of YouTube bootlegs is somewhat compromised by the Halloween factor, but just imagine the band dressed as ghosts and the audience all decked out, and drop right into the psychedelic onslaught:Caribou needs to team up with "Dungen":http://youtube.com/watch?v=sgkwOVw1dBU.
