I really Dig “Smear Body” off That Total Age. That Bass or Keys (I can’t really tell if it’s a bassline cause it sounds like there is already a bassline going before it kicks in so it may be keys) at the beginning is bad ass!

You bet your monkey ass I’ll be there. I should be recieving an email message any minute now from my buddy down in Mexico who’s an absolute nutjob for Nitzer Ebb. There is a big scene down in Mexico City mostly ebm trash but loads of other good stuff.

Nitzer Ebb @ Marquee Theatre, Tempe, AZ
12.16.09, $25

Awesome show last night. Much smaller crowd than SP, but it was a loud, dancey group. The band came out and tore through 18 songs, pretty much touching on all of their albums, except for Big Hit. The new songs are great, some are reminiscent of their earliest singles and That Total Age, others sound more like Ebbhead-Big Hit era. This album is WAY better than Big Hit. The digipak CD was $15, and I bought a very cool-looking gray Control I’m Here shirt ($25). I’ll have to post pics of the merchandise later. Douglas had a cold, but he still sang/yelled great (using throat spray between songs). There was no stage decoration whatsoever. Bon Harris stood behind his workstation, beating drum pads, playing a midi marimba with mallets (which triggered synth pads and sustained bass notes), and running the sequences on a Mac. He did take the front of the stage for Getting Closer. A live drummer played a small kit with triggers. High-energy set, lots of singing along from the crowd, just a fun night overall.

Promises
Let Your Body Learn

Hearts and Minds (12" Mix)
