November 25th, 2008 Faking Justice :: The Midi Plug
Well, it looks like the dynamic electro duo known by the cross, leather and so-me graphic direction might just be getting a little lazy. After admitting that their album contained tons uncleared samples (and what electronic music doesn’t?), a picture surfaced of the duo playing with a midi controller unplugged.
Do you see it?
Look at the concentration in his eyes! He is tweaking that music SO GOOD! Yeah baby…oh…wait. Yeah, sorry to burst the bubble, but they don’t play live. Not sure how you take it, but it doesn’t bug us in the least. Honestly, Justice is performance art and there is just no way that they could have as high of a production value in their shows if they were playing ‘live’. At their show in Dallas earlier in the year, we were amazed just watching the guys on the light board. In fact, you could probably argue that the light and sound guys are really the ones performing at those shows. Bottom line…Justice is PERFORMANCE art: they are dope producers and they put on a hell of a live show. Should be care that perhaps there is really nothing going on behind all those lights (besides a lit cigarette dispenser)?
Honest mistake though…he apparently plugged it back in.
By the way, their documentary video A Cross the Universe went on sale yesterday. Buy it HERE.
