Insiders showcase @ Irving Plaza tonight w/ Hercules & Love Affair +++ pics from MoMA
words by Showtrotta, photos by Ryan Muir
While it would take a lot to top the great time I had at last years Insiders, this year’s CMJ event at Irving Plaza looks pretty great as well.
Hercules and Love Affair perform great live disco, in a way very few bands are doing nowadays. Aeroplane continue to look promising (though I have still yet to see them this week!). James Zabiela has been getting tons of positive feedback lately. I fell in love with his Utilities double mix album several years ago and am excited to get to see him again in a setting that is not Pacha. Shinichi Osawa‘s opening set for Fatboy Slim in June was great – very hard, but not too in your face. The Fantastic Nobodies‘ performance art, aka crowd-feathering, during Modeselektor’s set at Bowery Ballroom back in January was quite an experience. All in all, it should be a great night. Tickets are available here
