Consider my day made. The wonderful Four Tet is taking in Galway on his upcoming UK/Irish tour:
Saturday 12th – Temple Bar Music Centre, Dublin, Ireland – with Kid Koala
Sunday 13th – Spring and Airbrake, Beflast, UK – with Kid Koala
Monday 14th – Roisin Dubh, Galway, Ireland – with Kid Koala
Tuesday 15th – Club One, Cork, Ireland – with Kid Koala
If you haven’t heard his stuff before, it comes highly recommended.
Yeah, he’s hitting SF too. But isn’t a guy folded over a laptop making plinky noises a bit of moot point to see live? Just a thought….

Luddite!
You’re probably right, although it’s sometimes worth seeing what different knob twiddling happens live.
Do you think maybe this type of music should be performed with a video feed of what’s happening on the computer screen? There’s an interesting practice developing called livecoding where live music is generated by computer code that is written from scratch during the performance, while the screens are projected on stage.
