That was probably the loudest show I've seen at the Warehouse. Very well done.
The Plums laid the hammer down. Heavy driving rhythm section ala Flipper, Pere Ubu. Wish I could have nabbed one of those free cd-r's they were handing out.
Eluvium were pretty cool too. He played an extended version of "under the water it glowed" first which happens to be my favorite track off his lp, lambent material. He's somewhere between Brian eno (music for airports) and Fennesz. Basically just him creating layers of ambient drone with just a keyboard, guitar and some pedals along to slide projection with what looked to me like russian cutout animation seen on classic arts showcase or pbs.
and of course Mono owned. They chose to play with the stage lights on for some reason but it didn't affect their set. They played with undeniable amounts of passion and intensity. A few peeps in the crowd looked like they were catching the holy ghost when Mono was rocking out.
