Holy crap. If anyone here slightly enjoys dance type music, go and see Pendulum. They played down here in their hometown in Australia and I've never seen a gig go off anywhere like this one did, 5000 people going nuts in the middle of vineyard country with no buildings to be seen. I'm not that big of a fan of drum n bass but seeing a live band play it is something else...

So anyone else here dig them or any other drum n bass type stuff as I wouldnt mind hearing some good quality d'n'b bands for something different

Yikes

I saw them two days ago at Beats on the Beach and they were fucking lame.

Really? Well it might've had something to do with some certain substances taken during the night but I thought they were great. I dunno if they had a live band and a stupidly big light show when you saw them but it really made it a lot better than the standard DJ thing you see around the place. I actually enjoyed them a lot more than when I saw Chemical Brothers for instance.

Hehe, the substances always help :P

Yeah admittedly, when I saw "them" it was only one actual Pendulum member on decks and a guest MC from Freestylers who sucked ass, so I guess I didn't exactly see a real accurate example of what they can do.

Yeah they used an electronic drum kit but I think the cymbals were real, but don't quote me on it. Sound was massive. Anyone from Perth must go to a gig at Belvoir Ampitheatre at least once in their life.

I once produced a metalband called Pendulum! I bet it wasn't that band you were talking about? :lol:
