Plaid, Jan. 31, Johnny Brenda's

All is Full of Love

Two guys, three keyboards, three laptops and a geometric wonderland tripping out on a white screen was Plaid, the electronica London-based band at Johnny Brenda’s on Thursday. Hunched over illuminated screens, the duo cranked out interesting beats and emotive music ranging from sinister to playful. The second floor was packed with grooving zombie people from I Am Legend, huddled together and shuffling around.

Save for a technical problem that halted the show for a mere minute — and can you blame ’em when there’s about a mile of wires on stage — the music was intoxicating and kept the audience in a trance.

As they finish up their next album, Ed Handley and Andy Turner will be touring the US, marking the 20th anniversary of their first work together. No plans to deviate from the IDM genre, the pair are looking forward to continuing their surround-sound and dilating a lot more pupils.
