Todd @ Shepherds Bush Empire
The only man in the world who can make you think of Devo, The Tubes, Art of Noise, Frankie Beverly, Pete Tong, Thomas Dolby, Sven Vath, Bobby Conn, Daryl Hall and er ..... The Thompson Twins all in the same song. A fantastic set made up of Orbital flavoured sounds and straight down the line four on the floor 90s techno. The new album "State" was played in its entirety (with Prairie Prince and Jesse Gress) followed by a solo medley encore of the greatest hits done System F style and topped off by a pre-recorded guitar version of Ellington's Isfahan as the building cleared. Amazingly this kept the Todd grey-beards in the their seats for the whole 90 minutes rather than running for the exits when I had predicted a riot or at least an exodus. Faith in open-eared humanity partly restored, now off to dig out some dusty MixMag cover-mounts and to re-imagine that Todd album of Larry Levan covers.
