Live reviews
One of the most thrilling live music experiences I’ve ever had was when watching Le Tigre, despite it being a set that featured very little in the way of live music at all. The Kathleen Hanna-led trio came on to the stage, and put on a DVD of videos to accompany their songs (they went through the route menu and everything). And then... they jumped and shouted along to it, and it was absolutely incredible. The whole experience had such an air of being a party to end all parties about it that it was difficult to latch on to any of the righteous social and political messages contained in each and every song, but what was clever about it was that the words you were singing to yourself as you exited the gig actually had the potential to be pretty life changing if taken to heart. Very much putting the party in party political, Le Tigre concerts are a raucous, technicolour explosions of sights and sounds that’ll challenge not only what you deem to call “live” music, but maybe one or two deep seated prejudices as well. You’ll likely come out of the entire experience a much better, far sweatier person.
