Richard H Kirk, Alec Empire & Capitol K

December 07, 2002

By the time this final night of the festival hit, my liver was definitely screaming for mercy. Soooooo, with a pint in hand, I walked in to see Capitol K, and was heartily impressed, but also shocked to hear they'd been dropped from their label. Fun electronic - meets acoustic guitars full band setup, with perty customised iBooks. Alec Empire then made all us ladies drool with his bronze bodypaint and perfect physique. I couldn't stomach his rock set, but this electronic set was a bit more bearable, if not entirely enjoyable. Richard H Kirk ended the night with some trademark squiggles and bops, but didn't provide much eye activity beyond the low-tech video screens... This was the Electro Night of the PlayLouder @ the ICA Festival
