i got the fear
Just found out that Meat Beat Manifesto (note: that link is to the MBM site, which will play noises at you... just so you know) will be playing a show at the Cradle on 4/28. w00t! In terms of giants of the scene that I've always wanted to see live, Jack Dangers is probably #2 (right behind Orbital, and since they're officially broken up right now, that might not ever happen). So I'm pretty excited about that. Plus opening act is Badawi, who do an excellent fusion of north African sounds w/ downtown NYC style guitar shredding. I've always thought of their sound as sort of "Robert Quine goes to Algeria."
