If you're not going to do something live, and you ARE an electronic band by nature, then go out and play live, don't just drop your records, it's not worth my money.
I mean, if a rock band did that, people would flip out!
"Hi, we're oasis, and here's our records, cya."
ha! But seriously though, I want so badly to see UW live. :P

I was a little disappointed in the Chems last year - I had got hold of their Santiago gig from the end of 2004 and really enjoyed listening to it. Went to see them in May 05 and, although the live set was by no means just "playing the CDs" it was the exact blooming set as Santiago - I knew every note by heart by then.
That is the beauty of UW. In November I saw three gigs three nights in a row and each was different and beautiful, each with its own special energy, different versions of the some of the same tunes. Awesomeness.
