so I went and saw these guys last night and... WOW is all I can say. I knew that they get loud when they perform but I wasn't expecting anything ear bleeding, because I've seen Mogwai live and they pretty much set the bar. but EITS gave me a fucking head ache, it was crazy. during the first song of the set, the bassist broke a string from beating the fuck outta his guitar, so for about three minutes the two guitarists looped samples of feedback... it was insanely loud. and then on the last song, they were all going fucking nuts during the end of it, slamming their guitars on the ground and everything... just an aweseome, awesome show. those guys are real musicians.

not to be a prick, but out of curiosity, ear bleedingly loud noise doesn't equal a good show, and i've seen some ambient bands that had decent live shows, but what made their live performance so interesting? that is the biggest problem i've found with the mellow stuff i listen to: a lacking live performance.

i downloaded some boards of canada live stuff (just the sound) and its more or less the same as the songs: they may as well just play the songs off a cd. the only thing that might constitute a good performance would be the visuals, as in lighting effects n stuff

every performance I've seen is Jim trying to hold it together while those two just fuck about. Yeah Castro, I like that one. He just throws his guitar away mid-song, can't be bothered, just dances.
