SBTRKT

[higgybaby23]

I have tix to the show this Friday at the Bottom Lounge in Chicago.

Anyone else attending?

Advance tix are sold out.

[J~$$$$]

The show last night was excellent despite some sound problems sprinkled throughout. The sound/acoustics in the venue weren't great. I felt their performance was pretty tight and the crowd was great overall -very energetic. I was actually surprised it didn't sell out (perhaps it did at the door)- he's completely blown up over the last year.

Something Goes Right


Right Thing to Do

This looks like such a flat performance.

really excited for tomorrow.

SBTRKT was awful at HHM'11... dude can't sing for shit. Vibe was horrible, I have no idea why soo many ppl are on their nuts.

[RageAgainst]

thats how i felt i was like if he just didnt sing it would be better. HAHA or get the chick on wildfire to be their lead singer..cause he is super flat and has no pitch

[ficklecycle]

SBTRKT is the drummer, Sampha is the singer. Just sayin.

Perhaps we are on SBTRKT's nuts cause he's a pretty damn good dj, producer, and this album is solid.

[mattpach]

I though SBTRKT were pretty solid at HHM although their sound problems kind of put a damper on things.

He closed his SF set strong but his live set is still a bit rough around the edges, imo. The biggest improvement would come from him getting off the kit. He is a horrible drummer.

In the end, yes, the album is solid for sure.

[ficklecycle]

He's not a bad drummer at all, it's just that he's trying to do WAY too many things at once.

Practice makes perfect!

[unknown]

I still want to see him drop a set similar to his boiler room set.

[Aurgasm]

One of the worst shows I've seen all year. Walked out about three quarters through.

I hear his dj sets are good.

[higgybaby23]

They nailed the drumming and vocals last week in Chicago. Maybe they are just getting their touring legs. With so many divergent accounts of the live show, the jury is still out.

I know personally that I saw an amazing show. I was impressed with SBTRKT's drumming and always appreciate a producer who plays an instrument. Sampha's singing was on key, energetic and highly emotional.

The album vs. the live show vs. the dj set are very different beasts, that is certain.

Everything you say here, just reversed. The worst glorified electro r&b I've ever seen.

[higgybaby23]

What do you think about the album?

[Aurgasm]

It's good. Definitely has some nice moments.

[unknown]

I kind of agree with Forza with this. My first reaction after hearing the album was that it was along the lines of a lot of the r&b sound floating around within the "future sound" artists, except just done better. I haven't listened to the album too much since it first came out, some of the songs are so catchy and get stuck in my head for a day or two - and I really hate when that happens. I thought SBTRKT and Sampha did an excellent job of performing that album live and found myself to be way more entertained than I anticipated even though I kept hearing excellent reviews from people that I completely trust when it comes to music.

i thought you skipped it?

[SepaGroove]

Really hope SBTRKT plays this year. Latest album is fantastic

His dj sets are amazing... This is what i have been saying all along; his live show is a work in progress and they need to improve on the peoductuon quality. I saw him dj 3 times this year and he wrecked it.

[303dubbin]

@sepagroove... 1st. this was his debut album
2nd. he played last year, if you missed it, sucks for you cuz it was pretty awesome.

[ficklecycle]

Last year was just a DJ set brah.

[303dubbin]

yea yea i know.

[WhyTheLongFace]

He's playing Field Day in London June 2nd

[aaronbk]

[grannock]

Sucks, i wanted to see him dj again this year.

[nyarlathotoats]

Sucks, i wanted to see him dj again this year.

Me too, but i bet his live show will be great also
