UWLive diary the other day mentioned Rick digging out old gems - could this mean rarely performed UW tracks or maybe some classic dance numbers from other artists?? In the case of the former, i wouldn't mind at all hearing a little live "River of Bass" or "Stagger" for example  |
Well, they played a bit of the "Stagger" a capella during Biro the Leggy... does that count?
In addition, that webcast was MASSIVE. Good from start to finish.
And now, here's CHAMPI SESSLER with your live coverage!
Also in-depth analysis.
Karl and Rick were joined by Danielle, some crew from Bungalow with Stairs, and Darren ("But which one?" as they put it). The show began a bit slow with, as previously stated, little more than some "ambient interludes" and exotic tracks. Then it picked up with Lenny Penne, followed by interesting interpretations of some OWB and HDO classics, and some B-Sides to boot. About 95% of the material seemed to be heavily remixed or entirely new UW stuff, and I'm very excited as one of the few answers they gave that wasn't "yes" to a question said that in the coming days those new tracks will be getting a lot of coverage (which leaves the possibility of a new RiverRun open despite no explicit announcements).
Some Interesting Inclusions:
-Lenny Penne (AWESOME Remix)
-Best Mamgu Ever (semi-acoustic)
-Faxed Invitation (made much more upbeat)
-Puppies (megapsychedelic version)
-Howling opretta voices from 2001: A Space Odyssey
-Trim (They make it much larger and more expansive live)
-Biro The Leggy (With Stagger Vocals)
-Some M.I.A. cover whose name escapes me
-Tiny snippet of Cowgirl (Winjer Mix)
-A closing track that sounded like an Alternative Rock version of You Do Scribble, but probably isn't.
-LOTS OF NEW MATERIAL
And fun fact: their next show will land squarely on my birthday! What a present!
