[Neil]

Hehe you seem to misplace quite a few albums!

I stacked all mine, but after taking a few out to listen to they're all over the place...

[Neil]

Today I actually discovered more in depth details about this, generally all I knew was that one or two shows didn't go well or something?

[Sarah]

About fucking time he got his arse in gear.

[Neil]

[Matthew]

[Neil]

only the first one seems to work :s

They should have done the way they did it live as a studio version...
Then they could do the pianoy one live instead... :D

[Neil]

NEW WEBSITE CURRENTLY UNDER CONSTRUCTION. LAUNCH DATE IMMINENT.
OVERGROUND WATCH THIS SPACE.

It's time to say about fucking time again...

Clever with the 6 underground reference :rolleyes: :LOL:

[~Space Dementia~]

The Soloproject of Chris Corner (Sneaker Pimps). What do you think about IAMX?
I love it :cool: :happy:

[Neil]

Batten will rip out your throat for this...

http://board.muse.mu/showthread.php?t=3168

there we go

[Matthew]

will i now?

no

i'm leaving it for a mod to deal with.

[Sarah]

Finally decided to face an overdraft & bought it this week.. I like. Didn't know that the bassist was in The Mighty Boosh, though. Small world, aye.

[Katagena16]

I didn't know them at all, but I discovered them last thursday at the festivall I-Recall in Paris. I mean I was waiting for the Servant just after them but they were cool. The singer sings really well and he "envoy"(I can't find the word) some red wine in the public. Luckily, I got some :p I was mad!!! NOT ON MY HAIR!!! :LOL:

Anyway, the concert was excellent. But after the concert, when they went out, they were still drinking red wine!!! I bet they were totally drunk!

Sorry for my bad english.

[Matthew]

Chris Corner is teh secks

[pullis_mushroom]

Anyway, the concert was excellent. But after the concert, when they went out, they were still drinking red wine!!! I bet they were totally drunk!


oh every concert of them.. i was.. was like that.. the whole crew was drunked..but.. this is ok..and i like chris..when he is drunked..

i love IAMX ... a great album..and great live shows.. and everytime an other girl on the keyboards... great great great...just like sneaker pimps... :D

[Katagena16]

The girl from the keyboard??? The blond girl from Robots in disguise?

They were there too and she played a little bit with them. But it was so funny cause they were all drunk!

[concrete rapture]

Mmm.

[pullis_mushroom]

2 more days and i will see them again..
i love his concerts...
i think i will hear new songs.. i expect new songs!!!
i want ..no i need more songs

[Sarah]

"Again"?
Jesus Christ. That cunt. He needs to tour his homeland for fucking once.

[Neil]

2 more days and i will see them again..
i love his concerts...
i think i will hear new songs.. i expect new songs!!!
i want ..no i need more songs

I wouldn't mind seeing him play any song, considering he's practically abandoned the UK :stunned:

[Sarah]

Haha.. the contrast.

I should learn to be more eloquent like you, Neil.

[pullis_mushroom]

boys and girls..
i really regret to say..but this is the 4th. time i will see the cunt chris corner in his role as .. X (iamx)..but i think i its about the 8th. time i will see mr. corner.. this orgasmic man.. live :p (sneakerpimps and iamx)
he loves austria,..he loves the east.. he knows that we love him..
and he needs it.. this narcissistic egomaniac sex god ;) :D

[Sarah]

Last tour they did in the UK, as Sneaker Pimps, was in 2002.

[pullis_mushroom]

maybe.. because we ve got the better groupies !? :happy:

[Sarah]

Yess.... because that is something to be proud of...

[pullis_mushroom]

you know that mr. corner has a lot of groupies..
and you know... that mr. corner loves to nibble off his groupies

and.. although i am not a groupie of mr. corner..
i love groupies.. its not shameful to be a groupie

[Sarah]

It's not? To be that shallow is not shameful?

Well, you do suprise me.

[pullis_mushroom]

well.. why it is shwallow to be a groupie..?
maybe groupies see more in a person .. not only the musician.. they know every little thing of a person..
and .. who is saying that a groupie only likes someone because the person is famous? that is not true!!
groupies are necessary..for bands and for ppl like you..

and as i said.. that we have got the better groupies it was just a joke.. and you take it too seriously

but i don't want to discuss with you the phenomenon "groupie"..
.. i like groupies.. and musicians too ... and if someone doesn'nt its not my prob :)

[Sarah]

It's obsession. It's not healthy for a person to idolise someone they don't actually know properly & then get used by the musician. I know groupies don't care that they are used, they want to be, but it is not good in the long term as it is so shallow from the musician yet the groupie starts to mix up the emotions of love & obsession.

Groupies aren't necessary.. they are just a by-prodoct of fame or infamy. I don't care that they exist, but to wave them around like it is a good thing - it really isn't.

[yin]

http://www.xtaster.de/iamx.php three songs from new album... :happy:
spite it out and the new version of after every party are lovely. not so sure about president.


edit: ooops...just noticed the website is in German. It´s the three links in the middle of the page

[yin]

He needs to get his arse over here sharpish.


:yesey:

..I bet he´ll do a UK tour when I´m moving back to Germany :rolleyes:

and president....it kind of grows on you *listenstopresidentagain..*

[Belgian Chocolate]

I saw him and his crew live the day before yesterday at a festival here. And they were amaaaaaaaazing :happy: Can't wait to see them again. Chris's voice makes me melt, it's even more gorgeous live.

<3 the new album too...

[Elsie]

I wish there would be a london gig at some point! I love I am X soo very much

[Belgian Chocolate]

http://www.merchzilla.com/shop/php/products.php?id=60&SHOP=merch

Trust IAMX to come up with hotpants :LOL: I want them though :$

[devotionalee]

The Alternative: my second favourite album this year :happy:

[Claire]

Cor. Saw them tonight. Just...cor. I have no other words at the moment.

(Plus Mighty Boosh on stage dancing to Your Joy Is My Low. Amusing.)

[Belgian Chocolate]

That was one fucking amazing gig. I love Chris's voice so much. The manager told me they're hoping to tour more of England soon and promised me they'd come to Brighton if they do :happy:

[halo eighteen]

Chris is finally coming to the U.S.!!! But it's only a few shows...

March 28 - Chicago - Schubas
March 30 - New York - Knitting Factory

additional stops in Vegas, San Fran, Austin and L.A. are expected.

[destructiveaesthetic]

mmm I'm seeing him in London, can't wait...it'll be my first but from what I am reading it should be good.

[binarysonnets]

I'm seeing IAMX/I am x at the scala in march. I really can't wait. I'm picking up kiss and swallow tommorrow, and I'll order the alternative at the same time. Whee.

Oh and chris corner? I would.

[destructiveaesthetic]

my kiss and swallow got scratched :( can't be arsed finding it in a shop but now I'm craving it (actually...where did you find it?)

who wouldn't?

[Hyper]

i am so HAPPY with the news, I am going to be in NYC that weekend!!!!!!

[destructiveaesthetic]

ooh lucky lucky...knitting factory = brilliant venue.

I decided to country hop the weekend he's playing brussels and luxembourg so I'll be seeing 3 dates in a row hehe

[Hyper]

great for you - :)

well the tickets are amazingly cheap 12$
and I was surprised they are not sold out yet
he is so good, there's gotta be more fans in NYC

[Belgian Chocolate]

ooh lucky lucky...knitting factory = brilliant venue.

I decided to country hop the weekend he's playing brussels and luxembourg so I'll be seeing 3 dates in a row hehe
I wanted to do that but of course I'll be on the wrong side of the Channel and I don't have the money to fly over... And I don't think I'll make it to the London gig either cause no one will come with me :'(

[ok_computer]

they're playing soon around my corner!!

[Belgian Chocolate]

they're playing soon around my corner!!
Aw lucky thing. Do go and see them. They are even better live than the studio albums - and the studio albums are pretty great in my opinion, so that can't go wrong...

[destructiveaesthetic]

I'm taking a train, much cheaper, only like 50 quid both ways! Mind to get to Lux it's an extra 12 quid each way...but meh he's worth it.

I don't know anyone going to the London gig (Lux and Brussels included)...and I'm definitely going, who cares? You'll still enjoy it!

[Belgian Chocolate]

I would have LOVED to go to the Lux gig cause I missed IAMX playing there 2 years ago, and I wouldn't have minded going on my own there cause I've lived in Lux all my life until I came to uni in England. The venue is great (although the stage is really tiny) and I know my way around there. I would go to the London gig on my own but I'm basically scared shitless of walking around/taking the tube or train there on my own at night... :(

[destructiveaesthetic]

The Lux gig was actually the better one (haven't been to London cos it's tonight but I'm gonna go be all gung-ho and be in the front). Brussels had too many crazy motherlickers.

[Elouan]

Hmm, seen them in Amsterdam last week, quite good.

[destructiveaesthetic]

London, 1 hour ago:

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v20/postmoderngirl/ruff.jpg

perfect come down gig (withdrawal has already started)...didn't bother going early but still got 2nd row...and a drumstick lodged at my head...nice souvenir

[Claire]

Mm, London was gooood. And i hope everyone liked the support :D

[Evilduck]

Ahh it was a most excellent gig. I was on the barrier so a lovely view and Chris jumping on top of me numerous times :D

[destructiveaesthetic]

actually that support was the one I least liked...there was a different one each time...Hal Flavin and Piano Club were the others, I definitely suggest you check out the latter at least.

[binarysonnets]

Mm, London was gooood. And i hope everyone liked the support :D

I loved the support. I'm hopefully going to go and see them when they come to farnborough. Unless it's an over 18 gig.. but I might try and get in anyway.

I fucking LOVED last night. Chris Corner... my word. He stared at me for a while then pulled a really hilarious face near the end of the gig (did anyone see him do that? He pulled his mouth apart with his fingers and grimaced like a fooool.) Probably because when I noticed that he was looking back at ME I just stopped moving at attempted to look cool. I think I had my mouth wide open though. Gutted @ self.

I was front far left. Right in front of that security bloke. I had a load of glowsticks shoved down my bra during Scarlet Soho.

[destructiveaesthetic]

That's what I love most of Chris, his interaction with the crowd. I got a few lyrics at me because I know he recognised me from over the weekend...he really pulls you in, but yeah ha I remember that face.

[binarysonnets]

Yeah - I thought, before I saw him live, that he might be a bit distant - more like an actor, just because of the way he was in the video for president - but he really does draw you in. He has that element of being a showman, but he also interacts with the crowd a lot.

I'm glad you saw him pull that face. It made me giggle for ages... :LOL: I know this is a bit sad but I still can't believe he pulled that face at meee. He's such a wonderful man.

EDIT: hang on, are you on the mighty boosh forum?

[destructiveaesthetic]

yeah I posted 2 pics and spoke about the other gigs and tried to make a set-list...I don't usually post there but I had to talk about it somewhere!

[binarysonnets]

Yeah, I only really post in the music section really. Thanks for the setlist btw... I completely couldn't remember it. And yeah, I can't find anyone else to talk about it with. Apparently someone from the boosh board was right next to me - I think they may have found me slightly annoying. Oh well - I enjoyed myself. Erk. :/

[destructiveaesthetic]

haha I thought the same thing (they found me annoying)...I was second row next to all of the Booshers (didn't mention it though)...red dress, hair up, american accent (hard to forget, would.not.stop.dancing.) right side? we were prolly right next to eachother.

after three nights I think I got the setlist down ha...well no one has corrected me. I wanted different songs (impressionism, s.h.e., naked but safe in particular) but I suppose with the screen stuff meh.

It does add a great lot the the experience of the gig. I've been to 3 gigs now and he's looked me in the eyes at every one of them and it just makes me hope that he recognises me from before but I guess that's just wishful thinking :LOL:

I totally hope they're going to announce more European festival gigs soon :happy:

were you the one the bloke out of scarlet soho pointed at approvingly? If you were I thought you were awesome! I loved the fact that you (if it was you) kept on dancing. Especially during scarlet soho when everyone stood there like lemons! :LOL:

Hang on, I was on the left though... Hmmm. I can't really remember someone wearing that, but I can remember someone who kept dancing to my right and slightly behind me (I was front row, woo!)

[destructiveaesthetic]

ah nice one...no I was in the back for Scarlet Soho (I didn't even catch all of it, we didn't bother going early) and inbetween acts STILL got 2nd row on the right, pfft piece of piss (I go to too many gigs)

[binarysonnets]

I queued for about forty minutes (I had nothing else to do) and then pissed about in the toilets for a bit (erm.. not literally) and ended up front far left. I could be all bitter and be like "why wasn't I at the front?" but I didn't feel left out of the action at all. Far from it!

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v632/dwem90/igotthisatiamx.jpg

There's the pretty terrible picture of the bruise I got. The writing says "I got this at IAMX." :LOL:

The amount of people who go "what chris cornell?" when you say "Chris Corner" is just ridiculous.

[destructiveaesthetic]

I know...all of my friends are music management students and hence, supposedly, well-versed in music...I mention Sneaker Pimps and they're all like 'who?'. Fuck me americans are stupid when it comes to trip-hop and electronica...but brits shouldn't be! Only one person knew them...and because of Spin Spin Sugar naturellement.

Trust me if you were at the other gigs you would have been wishing you weren't oh so included...my legs were involuntarily shaking for an hour afterwards Brussels.

I know! It's like "yeah it's iamx" "who?" "Chris Corner from sneaker pimps' other band" "sneaker pimps?" "you know... spin spin sugar? He's the guy who licks the mirror."

And even then they have no idea!

Having said that I have been listening to spin spin sugar a lot lately.

Trust me if you were at the other gigs you would have been wishing you weren't oh so included...my legs were involuntarily shaking for an hour afterwards Brussels.

What happened?

[destructiveaesthetic]

seriously...him: "Spin Spin something yeah?" me: nod and sigh. I've been listening to that a lot as well lately...tis a proper tune. mind, I'm not even that big a fan of the Pimps...but it might have to suffice until we get another album from him.

well at Brussels, the fans were mental from even the line...forget the fact that they made us wait extra time and wait once again when we got inside before entering the auditorium.

What happened was there was a barrier, but the gate kind you can move...thing is we had all of our bags and coats at the bottom, between it and the stage (the distance of which was only a foot maximum) so when the gig started everyone pushed and the bottom stayed where it was at but the top angled to the stage. Our bodies were literally lying on the barrier at an angle all night (keeping our feet on the floor and calves? yeah feeling a-l-l of that) and Chris kept coming to the end of the stage to be groped and people were pushing to touch him (ha and ew) and on top of all that my friend was suffering in 2nd row so I cradled her knees with the backs of mine to help (also didn't help).

But yeah, oh so worth it...good times. Chest felt a little bruised as well (but I hardly ever bruise at gigs, although I do have soreness for days, I'm semi-jealous of your battle wounds)

Omg that is so rough considering the kind of music iamx is! Although yeah, people do seem to have a bit of a mad desire to touch Chris. (Guilty, right here.) My chest felt sore after the gig I went to because of the barrier, but yours must have been killing you!

By the way I have a different version of spit it out to what's on the video. Would you happen to know what it is? It doesn't start with drums, it starts out with a sort of echoey clicky noise that fades in then the drums come in.

[destructiveaesthetic]

Yeah I just saw that a few days ago actually (usually aren't bothered with vids)...it's the demo for it. The Pimps were throwing around some of his songs before the hiatus and that version might have been the one that they recorded.

[muse-queen]

ok after not being able to find this thread posting my own then gettin pointed in the right direction here i am to appreciate the glory of I am X :happy: xx

[binarysonnets]

I'm glad you like him. I'm going to refer to iamx as him from now on because it basically IS just Chris Corner who writes it - and he played all the instruments on kiss and swallow apart from the violin.

I can't stop listening to sailor at the moment. I absent mindedly wrote "take me like sailor" on a desk at college. Someone is going to read that and think "what the fucking fuck?" Ah well. Hopefully no one will know it was me.

[Belgian Chocolate]

Skin Vision is my favourite at the moment, especially the demo version, cause I think it's got better lyrics for the chorus (although the proper album version is pretty damn good too). That passion in Chris's voice, it makes me melt every time <3

[Evilduck]

Mmm secret gig on Friday, whos gonna go? I will try my hardest to get tickets :D

[Pancake]

I'd like to go, but I've spent so much money for last week :'(

[destructiveaesthetic]

damn it damn it damn it fuck fuuck fuuuuuuuck. i'm back in the states.

if you can go give us details and pics! good luck!

[Evilduck]

I got 2 tickets! Wheeeeeeee :D

[Hyper]

I just saw them in NYC - they've added the second show and it did not sell good, so it was FREE

I have to say i like it more on record, the theatrics are nice and all but the sound is terrible

[Claire]

'Secret' gig was fab :D

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v481/haloinreverse/DSCN3981.jpg

I need my bed now..

[destructiveaesthetic]

haha the ruff...details when you've rested!

[binarysonnets]

Jacobean ruff - hell yes!

I wanted to go, but I only found out about it yesterday - the day it happened. Still, apparently quite a few people turned up so they might do something similar sometime.

[glasskite]

The band sounded fabulous, good show, I'd not seen them before or heard much so I wasn't sure what to expect. Quite impressed.

[Evilduck]

It was fabulous :D I was stupidly close, hardly any of my pics needed zoom.
They played so well, and Chris was very talkative which surprised me. We stayed until 4am, dancing to Sue's dj set. Damn she has some awesome taste! Trash Money, Le Tigre, Underworld, Bowie, plus some new Robots stuff to name a few! If anyone saw a nutter with pink hair that wouldn't stop dancing, that would have been me.

aw man awesome...what was the set list like??

sue looks good but in the last photo...doesn't even look like her!

[Evilduck]

They started with just Chris and the other girl on keyboards doing This Will Make You Love Again, then it was a normal setlist but without You Stick It In Me and Missile. I'm fairly sure anyway.

[Belgian Chocolate]

It looks amazing from the pics!

Too bad it was such short notice, I would've loved to go... I'm still hoping for a UK tour!

They did I Like Pretending! They didn't do that at the Scala gig...

Btw what is the whole mighty boosh connection? Did they meet thru robots in disguise or something (who i notice are in his spit it out vid)? And isnt he on Vince's cheekbone mag or is that just someone who looks very similar?? :unsure:

WHERES THE ICE CREAM?! definitely his finest moment (well there really aren't many...the singular character I liked on that show was Julian's)

[binarysonnets]

What programmes that?

Ah so it's Julian that has the sneaker pimps ties, not Noel. Or well, noel does too - but I'm assuming, now, through julian. For some reason I always thought it'd be the other way round.

[destructiveaesthetic]

Nathan Barley. Definitely watch it...although if you're even remotely intelligent you will hate it, but in the way that you'll like that you hate it. The king in the Fountain of Youth is the main character, and Saboo is another big one in it...god I love the connections.

As they say in the programme:

"Stupid people think its cool. Smart people think its a joke, also cool."

Basically a look at London life and the ridiculous fashions and mentality. Really like it. I don't find it funny so much as painfully accurate. Love Richard Ayoade (saboo/darkplace) in it. Isn't Nathan Barley the locksmith (in the jungle episode) in the boosh aswell?

..drifting mildly off topic here.

Bringing it back on topic i love this version of president:

I love Richard Ayoade in general. He's apparently sticking with the IT Crowd as they're making an american version...not the other guy though...could be good interesting...

Isn't Nathan Barley the locksmith (in the jungle episode) in the boosh aswell?
I don't know about the locksmith...I only watched/listened to the commentary for season 2...I had NO idea whatsoever the king was nathan barley...I literally had to pause it to drop my mouth and guh? for a few minutes. He does seem a bit older though in the Jungle episode...damn I need to watch the Boosh again it's been like a month *shock horror*

[destructiveaesthetic]

Oooh love that version as well...that chick is so cool he has to keep her around.

I've spent the morning listening to a couple of his acoustic versions on youtube. I think he should release an unplugged live album as a nice contrast to the electro glam. Electro for going out at night unplugged for the hangover the next morning. :happy:

gMsmHwDR1Oo

Was another classic, although the picture and sound are really out! He's rising rapidly to my being one of my favourite vocalists of all time. :cool:
EDIT: yeah its from sneaker pimps days but still the same artist.

[devotionalee]

I've just noticed that the amazon one has missile missing from the track listing :eek: Whats up with that? It's such an awesome song!The Recall's Kiss + Swallow does not have Missile; instead you'll have an amazing version of Skin Vision :yesey:

BTW; the album was re-released this year! including a new song "I-polaroids" reworked from the Sneaker Pimps era. Ooh, and the moonbotica remix of Kiss & Swallow.

Static Shadows: search for the acoustic versions of Empathy and M'aidez; absolute gold

[binarysonnets]

Yeah that version of president is just gorgeous. The one of spit it out is quite good though, but I think that version of president is just amazing. It's amazing it can work so well acoustically really.

Has anyone heard the acoustic version of mercy? My friend sent it to me a few days ago and it works really well acoustically.

And loretta young silks is such a beautiful song.

I really really have to get more sneaker pimps songs. I've got the two unreleased albums, loretta young silks, sick and three versions of spin spin sugar.

[Evilduck]

Definately get Bloodsport. Its my favourite album by them, its brilliant.

I've tried to get it twice now and they shops either wanted to charge me an extorionate price to get it in or they just couldn't get it in at all. Wankers.

My iamx ticket came today! WOOO!

[Belgian Chocolate]

Does anyone know if Islington Academy really ask for the credit card you booked your ticket with (when picking it up at the venue)? My friend booked my ticket for me (as the site wouldn't take my card :indiff: ) so will they be making a fuss about the booking being under someone else's name even if I have the reference code thingy?

[destructiveaesthetic]

they do usually ask for it...why don't you nick it for the night and promise to give it back...?

[devotionalee]

I will ask, and I'm sure she'd let me borrow it, but I don't know if she's going to be around that day. We're both international students at uni, and the gig is the week before our uni starts again, so it'll depend whether she's back already or not. Otherwise, I'm slightly screwed it seems.

[destructiveaesthetic]

I'm sure if you bat your eyes and put on the dumb 'i'm soooooo sorry i didn't know...' you could get away with it...but better safe than sorry ;)

[Belgian Chocolate]

Hehe, or maybe if I wear a reeeaaaally low cut top? :rolleyes: :LOL:
Nah, I'll do anything I can do borrow that card. Besides, I do have the reservation number and the screen printout from the payment. And it's their fault for not asking what name the ticket itself should be under.
It'd be really disappointing if I'd have to listen to the gig from outside!

[Evilduck]

Try taking a photocopy of the card with you. (And a note of permission from the card owner) That works sometimes.

[Static Shadows]

You can call me Mark :happy:

He definately deserves to be huge. The three albums (both iamx's and sneaker pimps 'bloodsports') I have of his are all pushing into my favourites of all time! Can't wait to see him in Cardiff now! Seems to sound even better live too from that vid.

And yeah - I don't really understand WHY nme isn't all over him, and why he's not topping the charts. It's not like the music is really inaccessible - I think songs like spit it out and the alternative could be proper chart singles. Maybe he just doesn't want that sort of success over here - I mean they always said they intentionally committed commercial suicide by firing kelly ali - and Chris Corner has said that he'd hate to be famous, which is a sensible attitude if you ask me.

I really want to know exactly how well known is he in other countries? A lot of European countries seem to have a lot more sensible (and diverse) taste in music as a whole than the uk.

[Belgian Chocolate]

Thanks for the advice, I've done exactly that: took a photocopy of her ID and bank card plus a note from her giving me permission to use her ticket. If they make a problem out of it then I'm not at all going to be happy. It's their website which is shit anyway.

I really want to know exactly how well known is he in other countries? A lot of European countries seem to have a lot more sensible (and diverse) taste in music as a whole than the uk.
He's pretty well known in central and Eastern Europe I think, but nothing close to the chart kind of famousness. 3 years ago no one had ever heard of him Belgium and Luxembourg but now he's also got a relatively big fanbase there... The marquee at the Dour festival in Belgium last year was PACKED and I've heard the gig in Brussels recently was pretty crazy.
It's a shame he's not more well known in the UK but then again I don't want him to be all hyped up and pay a million pounds for a ticket in a gigantic venue. The small clubs are awesome :happy:

God the Brussels gig WAS horrendous...he's huge in Luxembourg as well, I heard Missile playing in the hostel just that day. I think he's pretty big on the mainland.

I never thought of him as huge in Luxembourg. I've lived there pretty much all my life but live in England for uni now for the past two years (so I do still spend my summers and other holidays in Luxembourg)... I think the reason for the Luxembourg gigs always to be sold out is because of the crazy Belgians coming over and invading the gigs :LOL: But I might be wrong :)

I am "suffering" 8 hours in a bus to see IAMX on saturday!! can't wait :D

Pics next week ;)

[iamawesome]

Loveeeeeeeee.

Well, starting to, anyway. I don't have either album yet. I was going to buy Kiss and Swallow on Ebay, but I'm not sure if it's the real CD. It's only $5 or something, which makes me suspicious. As for The Alternative, I can not seem to find a site that will ship to the US. Nineteen95 seems like it would, but I got to the confirm order page and it acted like it still thought it was shipping to somewhere in Europe, so I didn't trust it to make any sense out of the order. Maybe I should look on Ebay next.

There's also a remix competition and the deadlines in like three weeks or something, so if anyones interested in that get your skates on.

Thats Attack 61. They've also been playing Clash which is from the Chevaliers soundtrack as well, so no new songs.

Islington was bloody good, although not as good as the Luminaire earlier this year. I'm seeing them in Paris next, so hopefully that will be a good'un too :D

I saw IAMX in Denver on October 26th and it was, hands down, the funnest show I've ever been to. It was a small audience (probably only like 120 people or something), but everyone was really into it. I danced a lot.

No it wasn't Attack 61, although they played that in the encore. It was another song that's not on either album, or any b-side i've heard. Was very guitar heavy with a very stockholm syndrome sounding riff and the female keyboardist singing the chorus. Nice computery green numbers counting down on the projection too. I recorded it on my phone but the bass was too much for it and you can't hear a thing.

I'm seeing them in Paris next, so hopefully that will be a good'un too :D
With Sohodolls supporting too! I wish I could go to that, should be awesome :(

[Static Shadows]

I'm a bit confused. Are there now two versions of The Alternative? I've got one on Major Records (with yellow tape over the person's mouth) and now there's one on Carbon Records (with black tape over the mouth) and it seems to be a completely different, and from what i've heard far better, mix. Especially with the new version of Negative Sex, which now has loads of delay on the guitar and has hugely boosted the distorted electro sounds in the verse and guitar in the chorus.

[Evilduck]

Yeh theres the old european release (yellow tape), and the new UK release (black tape). I think the uk release has the strings version of Spit It Out on it as well.

[iamawesome]

I am so easily amused.

Yup I'll be doing London, Oxford and possibly some more depending on my money. I have a feeling Chris will be going back into the studios after this tour, so no more gigs for a while.

[Static Shadows]

If the Oxford gig is at the same time as our Easter break from uni then i'll definately be there!

[Gemsy]

WHAT'S THAT SONG!1111! It's on Kiss + Swallow... AAARGH.
I wanna say Satellite but it's not. Sarah sent it to me once and I don't have it anymore and I NEED TO HEAR IT.

Never mind, it's Missile. Ha :LOL:

Electric Ballroom and I can't bloody wait. Only started listening to him last year but from the very first song (President) I was completely and utterly hooked. Missed his last London gig so there's no way I'm going to miss this one, not for all the money in the world, and whether I drag my friend along or not. Especially if it's his last one for a while.

If there's one artist I've fallen completely in love with over the past year it would be Chris.

Oh man, same here. I stumbled across the video on Youtube, and I decided to watch because I had some friends on another board who I had seen talking about IAMX. I remember that as I heard the first verse, I was already thinking, "this guy is totally going to be one of my favorite artists soon."

[binarysonnets]

I'm not seeing them this tour because I've already seen them three times and I sort of can't be bothered and can't afford to go.

It was my back up gig for if I couldn't get tickets to muse. Along with mark ronson.

Ticket bought for the Electric Ballroom on the 3rd.

Still prefer the Sneaker Pimps though.

I love Bloodsport, but Splinter is at best sporadic (samey with some awesome tracks and a lot of filler), and I can't say i'm too keen on Becoming X.. :erm:

Meanwhile The Alternative & Kiss + Swallow (in that order!) are probably two of my favourite albums ever now. :happy:

[alicia]

Love em :)
I want to the electric ballroom show, but none of my friends are fans and I'm too much of a wuss to go on my own haha

I've never understood why people would rather miss a band they like than go alone!

I think most of the shows I've gone to alone have been more fun than the ones I've gone to with friends, because whenever I'm at shows I just want to listen to the music and I don't need company to do that, I guess.:erm:

Sometimes being there with friends can add to the atmosphere.

And IAMX concerts aren't necessarily going to be all about the music, it's a pretty full on visual show, from what I've heard.

That said, some concerts I'll go to alone simply because I'll want a bit of time to myself and listen to some live music.

Form what I've heard of the Sneaker Pimps, they sound a bit laid back for my liking. I even much rather prefer the faster, dirtier beats of The Alternative than Kiss + Swallow (President, The Alternative, Negative Sex, SOIB, Spit It Out = omg, orgasm). Am I wrong, or should I check out their earlier stuff?

I know what you mean, I've only been to one when my 'mate' let me down at the last minute and I really didn't want to miss the gig, but ended up making friends there. But I guess it can be a bit intimidating if you're quite young, or if you're a girl? Anyway, if that happens nowadays I just try and meet up with other fans beforehand, which is fairly easy to do with this called the intranet. Much better than missing a band/artist I'm dying to see imho.

Same here! Although I do love 2/3 of Kiss and Swallow too (and like all except YSIIM). Bloodsport is definately the closest to The Alternative in having some more aggressive and guitar heavier tracks. Definately try and get hold of the album versions of Kiro TV & Small Town Witch from Bloodsport!

This is an ultra raw chaotic live version of Kiro TV to give a rough idea!:

I saw IAMX by myself once, and unlike most shows I attend, I spent most of it dancing. It wasn't awkward at all because I was surrounded by... other dancing people.:yesey:

This is true, but it can be dependent on the person. There can be this feeling of being a little lost by oneself, especially with others dancing around you.

man i love IAMX :D

Looking forward to Oxford! :pimp:

Haha, the crowd in that video is funny, esp that drunk guy pushing his way to the front :LOL:.

Anyway, I might have a listen to Bloodsport, but I gotta say, that's not really the IAMX sound I like, with the exception of Missile which is a beaut.
Really looking forward to the 3rd April :happy:

[Belgian Chocolate]

Aww I have to miss the UK tour again :( I might catch him on the 4th April in Belgium though, if I can get there (and if it isn't sold out already) :happy:

They are playing The Alternative on UK radio, wow. I guess this is quite a big step towards (more) mainstream fame... Just hope that that won't affect gig quality :)

[binarysonnets]

Gahhh sohodolls are supporting and it's 14+ in london.

Remind me again why I'm not going please.

(I cant afford it having shelled out £50 for muse and £140 for latitude, plus I've seen iamx lots of times and I've also seen sohodolls before.)

They must get on well! Sohodolls have supported them before haven't they? It would be an amazing gig if you saw them both on the same night! Wish I could go to it. :(

Ah well, still going to Oxford! :happy:

I've seen both in Cardiff within the last year on seperate occasions! Definately two of my favourite gigs of last year. I got to have have a chat with Maya (sohodolls singer) too, and she signed my album! :happy:

I'm so happy Soho Dolls are playing at the Electric Ballroom aswell. They're awesome :happy:

press quote for me then look at the code! it's just putting it between yt and /yt (except with both in the [ ] brackets!) :)


And I do love those acoustic versions! It's nice to be able to see Chris actually playing guitar and they sound beautiful stripped down. :happy: Out of interest does anyone know if the girl is the keyboardist?

She is :) She's a good singer but she still annoys hell out of me cause she's just standing there. And she seems to have a sheet with the lyrics? After that many shows I'd say you should know them by heart :erm: Although I might just be jealous that she gets to play and sing with Chris :LOL:

no, i think the keyboardist is sue denim when playing live. (robots in disguise fame)

Just wow, that was stunning. I've never heard an acoustic version before, it makes me appreciate them all the more :happy:

Didn't know Sohodolls were supporting too until now, they were very impressive live the last time I saw them. Haven't been to a gig for a while as well so can't wait for Thursday now.

[Evilduck]

thanks :)

Nope Sue hasn't played keyboards for IAMX in well over a year. She used to come onstage to guest sing on some tracks, but now Chris has said she won't be involved in IAMX anymore :(
Janine plays keyboards for them, and I'm pretty sure thats her in the video.

[Static Shadows]

thanks :)

Na that was back on the first album tour, when Noel Fielding (of the Boosh)played bass! :D

Those acoustic videos have been on there a while though, so it may have been near when she first joined.. She didn't need a lyric sheet for backing vocals by the last tour at any rate! :LOL:

Oh! Are you seeing them again tonight!? Awesome!

[Belgian Chocolate]

Aww lucky peopleeee! I'll be lucky if I see them at all this year... Friday just ain't gonna happen. Why do they (almost) always need to play somewhere in the middle of nowhere when playing in Belgium? :(

[ScarredEyes]

I look forward to the concert in general tomorrow, but I checked out Soho Dolls and Suzerain, the support acts, and wasn't very impressed. May also have to cover my ears during President, if he plays it.

I'm sorry, I just don't think SD or Suzerain sounded any good. And President just doesn't seem a good track. Bring Me Back A Dog, though, that is good.

I know it's all taste and preferences and everything but I don't understand how someone can like like IAMX and hate President. And I mean that sincerely by the way, not as a snide remark. Anyway, each to their own (conversely, I'm always skipping Bring Me Back a Dog).
