Travis' Commentary:
Well, Ive never been a huge And One fan honestly so when the
opportunity came up to sit in on the Skinny Puppy press conference
(see Skinny Puppy section for details) I of course jumped at it
the
conference was just before And One and went into their set several
songs. Unfortunately, they only allow photo-pass holders into
the photo area for the first three songs, and well I missed it
it
was too dark to photograph properly from any distance
so yes,
that is right, I am making excuses for having zero photographs
of this band even though I was present
(just look at the press
conference photos and info though, more than a fair trade off)
What I will comment on however, is my perception of the performance.
There were three guys on stage, one on keyboards and two jumping
around, singing. The lights were good, the sound was good, but
I just didn't get into it. They in some ways reminded me of early
Front 242 gigs - I guess in stage setup but not in sound. The
fans of And One were really enjoying them and as I said the sound
was really good, and carried across the festival grounds really
well. The stage setup and performance came across very professional
..I
guess I was just anticipating the next act too much and there
wasnt enough new or exciting things happening performance wise
or musically to enthrall me.
