Oh man, I saw Laibach last night at the Independent and they were really cool. I actually didn’t know what to expect since I am mostly familiar with their cover albums (Sympathy for the Devil and Let it Be), but they were an industrial, political and visual spectacle. The main guy - Eben - has a certain amount of charisma and he definitely rules the stage. The drummer and synthesizer players are more of a backing band, and the female singers perform in the forefront.
The music was bass heavy, but it became harder, faster and danceable more toward the end. In fact, I would say that the show had three parts to it: Intro, which was melodic, political songs; the middle, which was industrial initiation; and the last part, which was hardcore industrial that grew into a frenzy of gyrating bodies. I was not far from the stage in the middle, so I experienced the frenzy first hand (in the soup, you might say).
I would definitely see them again. Also, the audience was a collection of misfits - like myself - that shared a common interest in whacked out industrial. Dig.

San Francisco, CA – KUSF kicks off the first-ever QUIETDRIVE
fundraiser with a free concert by KING KHAN AND FRIENDS on Wednesday,
September 24, 2008 at 7pm at Urban Outfitters in San Francisco (80
Powell Street). Longtime KUSF favorite DJ Carolyn will open the show.
Although admission is free, concert-goers must present an invite upon
entry which can be printed at http://www.kusf. org.
“We are thrilled to have King Khan launch our Quietdrive campaign,”
says David Hargis, KUSF program coordinator. “His latest album of
psychedelic R&B and cosmic garage rock has been at the top of our
charts for weeks and his live shows are always crazy. Honestly, I’m a
bit frightened for Urban Outfitters.”
King Khan is a Montreal-born, German-based musician of Indian descent
who cites Sun Ra and George Clinton as the inspiration for his
11-person psychedelic- soul big band revue, King Khan And The Shrines.
In 2007, King Khan released What Is?!, which received critical
acclaim from all over the world, landing at #33 on Pitchfork’s Top
Albums of 2007. Vice Records released Khan’s latest album, The
Supreme Genius Of King Khan And The Shrines, in June.
DJ Carolyn, selected “Best DJ: Terrestrial Radio” in the San Francisco
Bay Guardian’s 2006 Readers Poll, can be heard weekly on Tuesdays from
noon to 3pm.
KUSF’s Quietdrive on-air fundraiser lasts through mid-October. Unlike
many non-commercial radio fund drives, the Quietdrive will not
interrupt regular programming for donation appeals. Instead,
listeners will be gently reminded of how important eclectic, freeform
radio is to the Bay Area. The Quietdrive will culminate with an
online sweepstakes giving away a brand new Toyota Yaris. More
information will be available at http://www.kusf. org soon.
Founded in 1977, KUSF was one of the first radio stations in the U.S.
to feature punk rock programming, and today KUSF offers cutting-edge
experimental, freeform music as well as a large variety of cultural
shows that serve the San Francisco community. KUSF can be heard at
90.3 FM throughout the Bay Area. A live stream is available at
http://www.kusf. org, and the station is also featured on the iTunes
radio player in the “Public” section. KUSF broadcasts from the
University Of San Francisco.
