Mr. Projectile @ Mezzanine
Last night, on a hot tip from bneely I went to the Mezzanine to see Mr. Projectile and some acid house. Except it wasn't actually happening last night, so I came back tonight, which worked out much better.
I never really found out who the openers were. The guy on the right wearing the Luke Vibert t-shirt was named Dave and is from Santa Cruz, is about as much as I learned.
Anyway, when I got there (11?) there were three guys playing some fantastic acid house. Lots of lovely squiggly noises. But then their set ended and Mr. Projectile came on. The first 10 minutes of his set were pleasant but it felt like there were 3/4 bass and too-complicated-to-tell-what's-going-on beats, and my feet kept getting confused. But then either things settled down or I figured it out and holy crap! There were squiggly noises, fiddly beats, and I did a whole bunch of real squiggly dancing.
The crowd was very small (seemed more like what I'd expect on a tuesday than a saturday) but really awesome - cute girls bringing water to the people dancing, people wearing some pretty weird costumes, loads of people dancing, and everyone was pretty friendly!
I think I did something different than I usually do dancing, since I feel less sore and also way more relaxed than usual.
