BEST Visual Set Ups for 2011

[jsnake0123]

This thread last year helped me see some really cool shows I wouldn't have seen otherwise.
So what will be some of the best visual performances this year?

I know The Chemical Brothers and Kanye West will have some grand set-up, and anyone teaming up with the Creators Project (Animal Collective and Interpol are the only confirmed bands I know so far).
But what about some other acts that will put on a really cool live show?

[Chillzzz]

Nosaj Thing is something I'm looking forward to if conflicts permit

[Tandemind]

Apparently Magnetic Man has a cube of some sort.

And Shpongle has a setup.

[NachoCat]

I really hope we get the "full setup" from the Chem bros. Ive seen some vids on youtube of recent shows where they didnt have the full setup with that huge LED cylinder. Dont know what the reason for that was. Maybe the venue couldnt fit it. Whatever the case we better get the full setup at Coachella. That thing looks so badass. If it means putting the on the main stage then so be it.

Magnetic Man

Trentemoller (fuck you and little slashed o Denmark) should have an epic setup right? The video that GV posted a while ago was out of this world

The mainstage is going to be something we've never seen before.

Excited to see what the Creator's Project does to the Sahara.

Same here.

I still don't really understand that pic of the main stage they were designing.

Boys Noize is supposed to have a new live visual setup

Which act will "pull a Jonsi" and not be allowed their staging becuase they have a daytime slot?

The only thing Boys Noize announced is that he is going to have a new "live" show. He has said absolutely nothing about visuals; everyone just hears "new" and "live" and "show" and assumes he will have some sort of crazy visual set up. The only thing it means, from what I've gleaned so far is that he will not be using CDJs, but rather, he will be using other technologies and playing solely his own material.

There will be visuals, because it will be in the Sahara and the Creator's Project has collaborated with how the tent will be set up (I think at their conference they mentioned that the dude who made the cubitron is involved), but I don't think there is any reason to believe that Boys Noize is unveiling his own light show to accompany his performance.

that's what i was thinkin because yea he has talked against it a lot lately.

[Aurgasm]

I'm seeing him Saturday. I will report back with what I find. Granted, it's at Beta and they have their own set up, but I'll try and get his ear.

In a recent interview he did (I think the link is in the Boys Noize thread, but Im too lazy to find it), he stated that he was against the idea of having crazy light shows. He doesnt like the idea of them detracting from the most important thing, the music. The guy is a purist

[PlayaDelWes]

Inflatable duck, confirmed.

[Sublime]

Sasha's setup will be just insane

[Neighborhood Creep]

Anyone remember the Sahara Tent thread where a guy was posting about talking to Paul T, and about them having some 3-D visuals. Then a YTube vid was posted using the same thing on buildings. Looked pretty amazing

[dyltr0n3030]

It seems like everyone and their mothers have visual set-ups now.
Off the top of my head:
chemical brothers
nosaj thing
12th planet (debuted at TAO)
sasha
duck sauce (inflatable duck! seen it!)
boys noize
I believe animal collective has some sort of visual performance
shpongle
magnetic man
crystal castles (strobe led bars and infinite amount of fog)
but the most ENERGETIC set will be OFWGKTA. Tyler is going to crush peoples skulls with his words. girls will be punched in the face.

[pachucasunrise]

I wonder what Kanye's setup will be like...

[Bumblebee]

I wonder what Kanye's setup will be like...

He's done some pacific rim shows, plus he'll do chile lolla before Chella.

[suprefan]

It's going to have ALL OF THE LIGHTS.




Empire of The Sun and Bloody Beetroots come to mind for more sahara acts that will be cool visually.

Although Boys Noize isn't being mentioned in the Creators Project's press releases about Coachella, he has done something with them in some capacity.

http://thecreatorsproject.com/creators/boys-noize

I think it's odd that they would create a page for him solely for the interview. Wouldn't it be great if when he jokingly said that his "live" show would have more lights than anyone elses, he actually meant it? With the Creators Project redesigning the Sahara, there is a very slight chance he could have the entire tent under his fingertips. Probably wishful thinking though

that was nuts.. too bad we can't get something like that from him at coachella but I guess his popularity just isn't the same around here.
