when was this point?? i saw them live at the 930 i want to say 2003 or so and thought they wre a traveling freakshow by then..
i saw them at the black cat in late 90s and it was a traveling freakshow too (a hundred tape decks being played like an orchestra in response to coyne's arm movements..
where they ever just a straight up band without gimmicks?
Good question, and I'd agree with you on 2003. That was probably right before they got out of control. I saw them three times in 2003 and they were all good shows. Still played lots of Soft Bulletin and even played What is the Light?--->The Observer, Sleeping on the Roof, Feeling Yourself Disintegrate, etc.
