mikemars Posted July 26 Report Share Posted July 26 Was thinking about checking this out since its a change from a traditional venue.

Was it cool?info about it is here: http://rocksoffevents.com/boatcruise/details.asp?showID=523 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
r3t4rd3d Posted July 26 Report Share Posted July 26 Hey, I love Amon Tobin. I've seen him live several times, he usually does DJ sets, no Live things. Last time I saw him he ended his set with Slayer's Raining Blood mixed with the hardest breaks I've ever heard, totally worked!Anyway, I saw !!! on the boat last year. I have to tell you, they only have 2 bars, service is slow, drinks are expensive. Also, knowing the NY crowd, there will be NO dancing at this event. Call me a pessimist, but every time I go see acts like Prefuse 73, Manitoba, Amon Tobin, anything that isn't straight up dance music, the hipsters just stand around like dumb-asses staring at the stage like watching a dude with a laptop is the most interesting thing in the world. Finally, unlike bars, where you can leave whenever you're sick of being there, you're trapped on this thing until they bring you back. At the !!! show, that meant that we lingered in the harbour for about 90 minutes after the end of the concert. There's nothing to do but drink their expensive drinks...I don't think it's worth it.Amon Tobin lives in Montreal, he comes to NYC regularly. Go see him some other time (especially if it's part of Ninja Tune tour). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
