SaggyBalls Posted November 16, 2006 Report Share Posted November 16, 2006 The Rapturewith the PresetsNovember 14 2006Richard's on RichardsDilly Dally, keep a tally of all the shows i regret showing up late to...or not. Get into the bar and the Presets are kicking MACHESB. i mean really. 2 guys with keyboards and percussion (mostly blocks and bells) pumping seriously hard beats and slick lines over some prerecorded tracks.hard dance pop. think a cool new Order.Holy dance party. Holy 2 songs. holy umbrellas make the girls wet.Setbreak happens...and here comes the morrisey and madonna.time ticks away and, details aside, the Rapture hop onstage.You aint heard no whiny sneer backed up with a confident swagger like this before.drums.keys/sax/bells&blocks.bass/keys/vox.vox/guitarWith such a fired up band, you'll expect some fired up fans. well...the ladies at least. what a fun crowd for a SUPER packed show. I'm a pretty big guy and i can't fit into tiny cracks and stand still. that's my only complaint - that they didn't book the commodore. the rhythm section was totally on fire. locked in, expressive, and fun. a great backup for a lanky afroed guitar. they have a tight beat, catchy hooks, gritty guitars, depth, a sense of humour, and are absolutely anthemic."People don't dance no more, they just stand there like thisThey cross their arms and stare you down and drink and moan and piss"Finally a rock band that can kick some dance grooves without any wank, that don't puss out, and are all about good times while still having some great lyrics and a grin on their faces.Next time they come this town had better have an afterparty lined up. they were aching for a party - mentioned it about 5 times onstage.Wanna hear a band that you can breakdance to?check it out. the Rapture Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
