Not that anyone needs a review, but last friday night I saw my third Infected Mushroom performance in San Francisco.
It was, well, it was fine. Nothing mind blowing or anything. They played a bit too much of the newer stuff, which is to be expected, but which is also a bummer to me as I find most of it uninspired. The second half of the set was better, as things became more cohesive and the set really gelled.
I had fun, but to be honest, unless their next release is something really good, new and amazing, I don't know if I'll even bother to go and see them.
Part of the problem with the show was similar to what I have heard from other people at recent IM shows. That being the crowd.
Not to be all snobby, but it was the most "clubby" crowd I have been crammed inside for years. Way too many button down shirts, double-fisted drinkers, and nimrods standing perfectly still on the too packed dance floor! Fucking move your ass to the beat or get off!
I guess that is what they have come to now.
Sigh.
Oh well.
It was fun while it lasted.
