to be clear i have nothing against electronic music. in fact its rather the opposite.
putting down all electronic or dance music because it amounts to button pushing is madness.
putting down skrillex because he pretends to turn knobs and press buttons is accurate.
This 1000x.
Someone please try and tell me bands like Cut/Copy, Animal Collective, Big Gigantic, and Darkside are just button pushers. Is it dance music? Yes. Is it electronic music? Yes Is it button pushing? Fuck no. Just because these acts often have heavy electronic influences does not make them any less talented or entertaining. Skrillex is a different story though. I can't defend that.

Aside from his incredible lyrics, which is what hooked me in the first place, his show was one of the most interactive and passionate performances I've seen. Nick is an awesome performer. He's so far from a cardboard cutout on stage I have no idea where that came from.
Everyone is entitled to their opinion though.. and it's one less person that'll be in front of me at the Bad Seeds show so I don't mind all that much.
I really like Cherub's music. Just watched a few live shows of theirs and I don't even want to go now. They are atrocious live it seems. Same goes with Nick Cave, wasn't a fan of his before the lineup dropped; but after seeing him stand up there like a cardboard cut out makes me want to go just to throw something at him.
Have you only seen Cherub's live performances on Youtube or have you seen them in person? I have seen their videos on Youtube and seen them in person, and the videos absolutely do not give justice to the band. His falsetto doesn't convert nearly as well to the very shitty recordings. It's the same way when you watch videos of Foster the People live online. I saw them in Asheville and I knew only two of their songs. I loved their sound and it made me even more of a fan. However, the crowd there was absolutely terrible and it really took away from the show. It felt like a bunch of 18 yr olds taking molly for the first time, people constantly walking in and out of the crowd, people practically having sex on the dance floor.. It just was just a terrible crowd. I kept telling myself, I want to see them at a festival where the crowd will all be enjoying the music and everyone will be dancing because they put on a very energetic and good show.
I think if you check them out, then you won't be disappointed. It's the best show in that timeslot.
...if you can't close your eyes and enjoy a concert, then you aren't there for the music...
I found my self closing my eyes during a couple of songs at Macca last year. We all know how much of a visual spectacal that was as well, but even with all that was going on in that show, I still was there for the music first
