Made a last minute run to Detroit last night to catch Einstürzende Neubauten in concert. If anyone out there has an interest in noisy industrial stuff, you MUST go see them if they come around you. It was a remarkable show. They have toned things down a bit from their older style and become much more musical, but they still have quite an edge. Just getting a good, in-person look at how they make the sounds they use is worth it if you have any interest in the band.

Instruments used included, air compressors, giant sheets of metal, a revolving melted mass of plastic jugs amplified and hit with an air gun, a transistor radio, a giant spring, lots of PVC and metal piping, Microphones tossed insode steel boxes and thrown around, a very large amplified metallic string, and more.

If you're not familiar, imagine a cross between Blue Man Group, Nine Inch Nails and the Swans.

No opening act, but like the guy who drove me over there said, "Who the hell's gonna open for that?"

Just thought I'd share.
