STREAM 09
The Coral Room, NYC, Winter 2004.
The place was famous for having real live mermaids in the giant aquarium behind the bar. We were there at the invitation of Gang Gang Dance, as we were both releasing records on Fusetron at the time. The In Crowd was there, but we were hiding out in the Green Room in the form of a trailer parked on the roof of the place. Paranoia up, the microphone was kept on the whole night and the results had to be edited down to fit the 80 minute limit, thus beginning the “cut up” phase of the STREAMS. For the next ten issues, live recordings would be spliced together with bits of practice sessions, urban field recordings, opening DJ sets, soundchecks, cable TV, toasting, dubs, etc.

Wait, there really was a bar that Excepter and Gang Gang Dance both hung out at? I thought that was just a myth.
ReplyDeleteMembers of both bands could be found lurking the back rooms at Club Luxx on Electroclash nights in the heady days preceding 9/11.
