You capture the energy of the show pretty well. I've often found it hard to review a DJ spinning, what can you really talk about, right? So good job in tackling that predicament. Telepathe, on the other hand, I had the misfortune of seeing open for The Kills at the Triple Rock months ago-Frank @ Chromewaves wrote such a bad review of their opening set for the Kills in Toronto, that I had to see them just to find out how bad they were. And they were awful, putting out bland beats and lame poses, pretending like they were reinventing the wheel. Perhaps they've gotten better, based on your review. But I found them to be damn near unlistenable. Cheers on the good work Josh. Good review Josh. You capture the energy of the show pretty well.
