well - I saw them at the Black Cat in Washington, DC a few years ago (maybe 3 or 4, I can't remember)...

but they played in complete, total darkness. the only lights on in the venue were just some soft lights where the bartenders were - the Black Cat had two... like proper 'bar stands' (or whatever you'd call them), one on each side of the dance floor. Oh, and there was a bit of a glow coming off their computer screens

the entire show was basically just one long stream of music. there were no stopping points whatsoever... but at the same time, it never was anything that you could really dance to, if that makes any sense. Well, there were a few nuts in the audience sort of having full body spasms over extended periods of time, but I dunno if they were really 'dancing'
