Guest Backson Posted December 12, 2011 Share Posted December 12, 2011 I ask because I thought that part of the reason they formed the group was so that they could play live. I haven't seen anything about it though. I adored the Shobalbum and I think seeing the funk robots live would be awesome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Backson Posted December 12, 2011 Share Posted December 12, 2011 Are you refering to me liking new Squarepusher instead of hating it like most here? I do not troll sir. I am in the minority though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lucas Posted December 12, 2011 Share Posted December 12, 2011 Have we proofs that Shobaleader One is really a band? Could it be just Squarepusher and Alex something (the drummer I mean) ? I find this "story" of the young men contacting Squarepusher and wanting to do an album with him (that's what he said for justifying d'Demonstrator right ?) a little bit surprising and maybe not so credible.

acid1 Posted December 12, 2011 Share Posted December 12, 2011 Squarepusher probably hoped people would love that album so much that he'd be famous enough to cycle talented musicians in and out of the various instrumental positions for shows.

Candiru Posted December 14, 2011 Share Posted December 14, 2011 It definitely wasn't recorded with a full band. He only said that so we would listen to the album in that context. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kinski Posted December 15, 2011 Share Posted December 15, 2011 wasn't there some sort of super-detailed article about recording shobaleader one where he admits that it's all him? i vaguely remember something like this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GORDO Posted December 15, 2011 Share Posted December 15, 2011 I remember that no one believed that to be true at the time. do we believe it now for some reason? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chassis Posted December 15, 2011 Share Posted December 15, 2011 He had a drummer when I saw him live. That was the tour for JAS though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Backson Posted December 16, 2011 Share Posted December 16, 2011 oh, okay. so it was all lies. too bad, that would have been fucking awesome to see five Daft Punk / Sun0))) hybrids hammering out synth funk jams like mighty robotic lords.

Guest Backson Posted December 16, 2011 Share Posted December 16, 2011 and I'd love every minute of it. "Play Abstract Lover again!" yells a lone voice from the audience. "YES.

sheatheman Posted December 16, 2011 Share Posted December 16, 2011 i was really taken with the album when it came out and i hoped that it would catch on. some of the songs have this subtle quality, an evolved form of the JAS quality, like compact pre packaged songs of future galaxies. i honestly think that people are too stupid to understand and are happier when everything is sidechained, where the main structure of a song is a gold panda .4 second sample repeated ad infinitum. people saying that "it sounds like daft punk" are so idiotic. the only similarity is the robotic garb. and the whole LED face was awesome. it's just the type of thing where you have a few people behind it, but Tom just lost steam after he watched Fantano and pitchfork pan his labor of love. i'm pretty sure SP doesn't peruse the WATMM warrens, but my heart goes out. are you with me, pigster and backson?

kinski Posted December 16, 2011 Share Posted December 16, 2011 i can kinda see how such a cold respons to his 'band' would stop him from going further with the project. his booking menager said probably something like 'yaaah, nobody wants to pay for that, just go solo'.

I have a similar feelings. Shobaleader is all in good fun. If I were going to make babby with a robot, I would make babby with Shobaleader playing.

awepittance Posted December 16, 2011 Share Posted December 16, 2011 i wonder why he doesn't tour with a band setup very much, especially now with his stuff being so bandish sounding. Did he tour with a band for Music for the rotted one note? and to reply to sheatheman, i think it's more a case of for a lot of people at least myself that we just thought Shobaleader One was the worst piece of music he ever released. Worst in the sense that his lyrics are poor, his choice of sound palette is questionable (piccalo snare on every track really?, nasally bass guitar distortion?) and the construction overall i think was very saccharine even for some of the biggest pop fans here. I couldn't give a shit if he copied Daft Punk or not (he probably did a little bit honestly) You are the only person in the world that would buy tickets to see them live. absolutely wrong Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I couldn't give a shit if he copied Daft Punk or not (he probably did a little bit honestly) this exactly. even though i still like the album, only a few tracks a very distinctively good other than just being interesting. the songwriting is actually really good in terms of the melodies and chord progressions , but the sound palette is not particularly great. like having the 909 as the only drums on the album, really? it gets tiring.
