just out of curiosity, what are the crowds like at ae gigs? The Brighton date next month will be my first ae gig and I have no idea how the crowd reacts to ae's music in a dark room. I'm guessing people just stand still and take in the music

Everyone will be looking at you and judging you. They want to know how long you have listened to ae. Can you recognize lcc in the opening 3 seconds? Do you have vinyl? Can you hear over 20000 hz? Can you tell the difference between 16 and 24 bit?why do you have a beard ? to scratch? Why don't you have a beard? Why would you be wearing plaid? Just wear a watmm shirt and tell people you know why Clark is in a wheelchair and you'll be fine.

Weird. The first Ae gig I went to a couple of years back on the Quari tour was odd - most of the audience sparked up on weed and thus began to oscillate slowly back and forth for the remainder of the show. There were a few people like myself really getting into it and shouting "woop" whenever anything happened. I totally lost it in two of the breakdowns. The rest of the audience just stood stroking non-existant beards going "hmmm".

Who's Didjit?

Who here is going to the Manchester gig this coming Thursday? Please report back to describe the set!

yes, yes, yes, yes, have one, i do scratch it, have one, cotton shirts are comfortable, and wearing a watmm shirt would be like putting a sheep in a den of wolves

Anyone planning on going to the Ae gig at Stealth in Nottingham a week today? I am lead to believe the sound system in there is f'ing awesome!

Glasgow for me. A week tomorrow :)

I went to the Toronto gig 2 years ago.

The crowd was made mostly of white males aged 20-30, who were standing, spaced evenly, with their arms outstretched and heads pointing up taking in the music. One guy I saw brought his girlfriend and she brought him drinks every now and then. This other guy had a greasy black neck-beard, and yelled "tri repetae" in the first pause. It looked like about 5 people were dancing.

In conclusion, the crowd was weird, but it didn't matter because the music was wicked.

Its pretty damn tasty in there

Quaristice tour Belgium had loads of people dancing if I remember correctly. Very enthusiastic crowd. Including a few over the top guys that were screaming and yelling all the time. But yeah varied crowd.

Hope they stick to their no lights principle. Less talking and more people dancing to Autechre in their own weird way.

I've seen em twice. I like to go for the jesus christ pose high on synthetic drugs...Just let the sounds flow through your body and mind, your body will act accordingly. And yes everyone will be staring directly at you, Rob and Sean usually break out a flashlight during the set and point it randomly at one person for like a min. or two while everyone has a laugh at their expense.

that explains your current avatar, too.

48 hours until the first gig, would be very interested to hear a description of the set from anyone in Manchester.

Hah, that is such a funny description, but I cant really see it going down any other way. I WANT US DATES!!

Does anybody know if the California dates on their last tour were 21+?? Because their Seattle show was 21+ and that SLAYS me, I have to see them. I'm about 3 hours from SF and LA and would go to a show at either..

I highly doubt an autechre show would have a problem with emo kids. And are you saying playing an all ages show would make it worse less mature? I'm 20.. and it would be so fucked up if they came here but I couldn't go because of that stupid shit. 21+ shows have been the bane of my existence in the last year, prevented me from seeing Amon Tobin, Moderat, among others.

And do you work at Neumos? Fun venue.. besides all the 21+ bullshit that is.

Shameless ...BUMP...

Is no one on here going to Nottingham gig on Monday?

Someone told me the Birmingham gig yesterday was totally ace... Apart from the crowd, who didn't really get it.

Birmingham was awesome! The sound system was lovely and Autechre's set mashed my braincells

I was one of the few dancing though - at least 75% were stood still

I've got a recording - will try and clean it up (it's all bass ATM hahahahaha) and post it up.

Holy jesus christ was Birmingham bassy. Again, why do so few people dance at Ae gigs? If people are wondering time-table wise, Birmingham went like this:

9:00 - 11:00 - Rob Hall

11:00 - 11:30 - Russell Haswell

11:30 - 12:00 - Rob Hall

12:00 - 1:00 - Autechre

1:00 - 2:00 - Didjit

Here's a little round-up:
