The Glitch Mob – the Los Angeles-based trio comprising Justin Boreta, Ed Ma, and Joshua Mayer – continues their forward movement into 2014 with their new album "Love Death Immortality." Boreta, edIT, and Ooah came together around 2006, passing through various members until settling on this core trio of musicians. Together, they combined their different skills and aesthetics into the compellingly collaged whole that has become one of the most beloved live electronic acts, and distinctive recording artists, working today.
The Glitch Mob show in SF was tha Best! Definiteley gonna go check them out again in the future!!
Front and center, the experience was impossible to forget. The bass was pumpin', the people were jumpin', and the bands absolutely killed it. Props to Ana Sia who played so loud one of her units fell of the table from the vibrations. Visuals were spectacular for all bands, too!
The show started a little late but was definitely worth it! The show was a non-stop party and we had an amazing time.
The Wait: The doors were an hour late to open, the first act started 30 minutes after that. When it was The Glitch Mob's turn to play the lights turned on and we had to wait another 30 minutes. By the time they started everyone was too tired from sitting stagnant for the last 3 hours. The Quality: The first few acts demonstrated why so many people hate electronic music; Generic, Repetitive, and Annoying. It all sounded like the cheap background music of last decades gangsta rap, lacked any danceable rhythm, and one of the DJs train wrecked. When the Glitch Mob actually started (Playing Daft Punk's "Derezzed") I thought the show was gonna be great. Boy, was i wrong. The rest of their set had zero energy and couldn't retain a proper flow. The Show: The effects were generic lasers and fog for the opening DJs and the light towers were well used by the glitch mob during their first couple songs, but i couldn't help getting the feeling that they were just following a script (since they had no energy at all). The acrobat was a nice touch, but the music was boring and that is what i went there for. Overall: The Glitch Mob started in SF and i thought they would come out swinging, instead they failed to impress even slightly. I left feeling betrayed and cheated.
GLITCH MOB WAS AWESOME don't get me wrong. But the first opener went on way too long and I started to get bored. The second opener was amazing but still I felt it was too long. Glitch Mob came ON at 11:30..weird b/c the concert "started" at 8 (they let us in at around 9:30. This displeases me b/c even at KIDCUDI they started on time (8) and KidCudi came on at a reasonable time (9) and played until 11. SO Glitch Mob give a little more to your fans and come on stage at 9:30/10.
Opening acts were alright but the glitch mob were amazing.
Such an amazing performance! Glitch Mob did a variety of old and new songs, they were all really really good. I really liked the venue too.
The Glitch Mob was fantastic. Can't wait to see them again. Ana Sia killed it.
ummm, the glitch mob. anything more to say? i have no idea how the "instruments" worked, but it was really cool to watch music actually being made live through the, i dunno what they are called, drum machines? aerial performer, too :) lights/set up was cool, bathroom line WAY TOO LONG. and no gum policy, forgot about that. (regency, you owe me $1!!!) an awkward, bewildered guy approached us after the show to help find his face, since it "melted during the show" ha
The Glitch Mob was AWESOME! Ana Sia and Comma were definitely rocked, and exceeded my expectations. My only issue was the amount of smoke - be it pot or cigarrettes. I know that events always have smokers, but I felt like I couldn't get away from it. I think I actually suffered a little contact high, it really sucked.
I have been to countless Glitch Mob shows over the years. This will be my last. The past two shows have been all ages and have nothing to do with the group that originally started it all. Completely rehearsed, studio quality with no heart. Shameful! This used to be a gritty, dirty sound that has been refined for the likes of disney listeners.
Glitch Mob Rocks! The beats were fly and the lights were rockin'.
I highly recommend seeing these guys in concert. They killed it for hours and their light show and performance was top notch!
Glitch Mob is- hands down- the best electronic music performance you'll see. Unlike most electronic shows you'll see it's not a bunch of guys standing around spinning records or pretending to twiddle knobs on their laptop. They play live using customized drum pads. Great stage presence, great energy, and epic music.
I've seen them twice now and both times their sets were awesome! All the levels were right and they looked like they were having a blast. They're a must-see.
I was upset I missed the first few songs of their set because of the long ass security check at the gate. But these guys put on a killer set. I love how they've transitioned from DJ's to incorporating real instruments into their live performance. These guys put Lemurs on the map and taking electronic music performance to a new level. Really nice guys as wells. They hung out afterwards and handed out CD's and took pics with fans. Can't wait to see them again.
Kept waiting for them to go hard or play something memorable but it never really came. Much better producers than performers. However, it could have been due to the fact that they were playing at a primarily Dubstep concert. Perhaps they felt like they needed to dumb their music down for that type of crowd.
it seemed like they rushed to set up because the levels of the sounds were off. The highs outweighed the bass lines. sweet show though MORE BASS1
