Re: talkative audiences/gas masks



Dorky?  Some may say Devo was dorky.  Dorky can be good.  I know a band 
that plays while wearing Sony VR glasses so that they can "see" what 
the video mixer is going.  It's basically bullshit, as I've seen them 
play where it's obviously easier for them to just look at the video.  I 
can't imagine having video superimposed over your vision would make 
doing an electronica show easier to do either.  However, people do 
remember them for it and it makes people curious, and I'm sure that's 
what they're trying to do.
