A short video clip shot by Ian from the 2nd of March this year (my birthday!) of the Numbers vs. Monox night at The Sub Club, Glasgow, Scotland. T'was an excellent night.
All the guests played fantastic live sets. Sendex was the real standout for me. He played a hard - jacking Chicago style acid set that the crowd seemed to really get into. That guy really knows how to rock the old Roland kit. No computer involved. But I'm a sucker for that West Coast of Holland sound and the "Een Drumcomputer en een synthesiser" ethic.
Like a Tim and Mike Dred were great too. Tim has a very unique sound with his dry, shuffling 80's drum machines and tons of quirky little melodies. The Kosmik Kommando's take on acid is pretty much the opposite to Like a Tim's; a big, big full on aural assault compared to Tim's stark minimalism. I didn't get a chance to check out Mike Dred's gear but as far as I know he played his set with six (!) 303's. Just a shame he had some problems with the sound which broke up the flow slightly.
The Sub was packed almost right from the off. Much kudos must go to everyone involved in promoting Numbers and Monox in so far as they can fill a city centre club to capacity with a crowd who are there to see artists who are definitely not anywhere near approaching mainstream. Glasgow is such a great city. People are so open to new and underground music here.
