Factory Floor

I say Factory Floor perform live right back at the beginning of their career, and they were awesome, and I was incredibly pleased that their recent performance lived up to my expectations, and exceeded them with their show. Their ‘post industrial’ sound as it’s been dubbed uses a great combination of live samples, drums, distortion pedals, and synths, as well as guitar. When you listen to a studio recording of the trio, you would assume that the electronic sounding backing was produced and recorded independently from the vocals, but seeing them live was a real eye opener to their sheer talent in producing live music.
Gabriel Gurnsey was positioned behind a huge mixing desk with her guitar, synth, and pedals to play all together, whilst providing the vocals as well.. In the mean time, the other two musicians, Nik Colk and Dominic Butler were providing the electronic and live drums, vocal and guitar samples, and additional layers of synths to fill out the sound. Watching this all unfold live was incredibly and a real showcase of talent.
They played through a great selection of their tracks, and played almost all of their self-titled album, which was incredible to hear live. They were great at interacting with us in the crowd, and encouraged everyone to dance along to the chilled out electronic sound. It was one of the most genuine showcases of talent I’ve ever witnessed.
