I used to work at the studio where they mixed a couple of their records.

By all accounts, Ed Simons [the guy without the glasses] is kind of Andrew Ridgely to Tom Rowlands' George Michael.

He skins up, waves and plays a mean cowbell.

Best job in pop if you ask me.

it was quite different going into the show which was at an entirely different kind of venue (outdoor music festival instead of an entertainment center) but they did play stuff very differently to last night.

the order of the tracks, the content and arrangement of some of the tracks etc were different.. and to be honestly i dont know if they have a few different DAT's ready based on the comments on this thread :P but the show was impressive as last night and i still feel ashamed that their music sounds so bloody fantastic and amazing.
...and that's the thing

even if it's a DAT they're really playing off of

that's ALL THEIR MUSIC - they have enough super bomb tracks and remixes to fill up a DAT to rock shows world wide

just one of their songs puts all of mine to shame


who cares if they're playing off a DAT

they're that super dope bad!

I saw them last year at a mid-size theatre (The Riviera in Chicago). Same light show as that video linked in the beginning of this thread. It was a really great show but I'm not sure if it was the soundguy or my position in the room, but the sound was really mid-heavy. It actually hurt my ears. And I'm someone who loves the loud and always wants more bass heavy, ball massaging beats and basslines. Aside from that, it was tits.

And speaking of tits, has anyone ever heard TITBAG's music?

Cuz I bet it's balls.

I have, it's pretty good. Somewhat experimental, but experimental in a cutting edge kind of way.

Don't be confused by his brass tactics, he's actually a very talented guy. He's probably one of the better producers on the board.

TitBag - more than just a nickname...more than just a man...he's, TITBAG!

You see, this is why I don't like to know much about the artist I'm listening to. Because the odds are, if you meet them, they'll turn out to be a total dick to you and then that will taint their otherwise great music in your mind.

From what a lot of people have told me and things I've read on-line TITBAG is actually a pretty nice guy. He makes good and he's a pretty nice guy

this tough guy exterior is just a front - don't let the nickname fool you.

He's the one and only TITBAG!

TITBAG is my best friend!
Suit #1: I mean, have you got any insight as to why a bright boy like this would jeopardize the lives of millions?
Suit #2: No, sir, he says he does this sort of thing for fun.
