Types Of Sunfish And Where You Can Find Them

Fottuti Pulsanti! - Fuck Buttons - Koko - London - 20/04/09

was the last London concert of Sunn 0))), then for almost four months, I have not seen a concert so exciting. The impression of being in the moment and the right place and with the right music. I Fuck Buttons, the "fuck buttons" style and have a fucking book.
Tonight, elegant Koko, the Fuck Buttons are supported by the Factory Floor, a trio of Hackney, a suburb east of London. The first time I heard the Factory Floor was one of a scrum and a passage of a rugby match in Parigi.Certamente a group on the lips of French music connoisseurs.
A set completely in the dark. A rhythm section impressive. A battery that supports the hypnotic rhythm of the sticks obsessively hammering a bass guitar, all supported by keyboards and electronic devices. The music is pretty glacial, the sounds' are dark-post-new wave. We find the atmosphere of Joy Division, Cabaret Voltaire and Fall and even some of the 70 experimental krautrock. I have faint memories of the parties rather voocali, the music certainly makes mistress.
I Fuck Buttons: Andrew Hung and Benjamin John Power, timidly appear on stage. The opposite one another in the middle of a giant disco ball that reflects and diffuses light throughout the room. A very diverse public. Teenagers in the front row and some in the ranks over 30 behind. The music starts up and then beat us to a vortex at high volume. The people around me stare and start to dance iptonizzati lost in this groove electronics genius who no longer felt for some time. And the volume of salt and salt until almost messianic BJPower launches into a rhythm on a drum incredibly crazy. I am aware of using too many adjectives, in fact difficult to explain, we must see it to understand. Plan the bodies of more reluctant to allow themselves to be dancing and there 'even a few breaks in the early forties that file. Pressed hard in the scrum but then I realize that these intruders is a long needed a gig this level for too long, Perhaps the time of the concerts of ten to fifteen years ago by Aphex Twin or Autechre. But Fuck Buttons are also part of their generation, have the same energy of the French duo Justice, but in a more 'obscure and much less pop. This was followed by two pieces from their album "Sweet Love for Planet Earth" and "Surf Solar" in a long and joyous celebration. BJ Power and Andrew Hung are called up on stage twice. End their concert with a stunning version of "Sweet Love for Planet Earth." At the end of the concert the lights, the applause continued, faces full of wonder and happiness' around me. The sound of "Fuck Buttons" will be part of our unique world of sound for the coming years.
