Joey’s modular synth setup sounds fucking insane, I wonder if there’s photos/videos of it
These tracks are going to go absolutely wild at their shows.
The EDM crowd will give the Metal crowd a run for their money when it comes to moshing.
Dunno how many of these tracks we’ll ever see live for the same reason we haven’t seen many B3K songs live; there’s so much extra equipment involved in performing these kind of songs.
? They can just play a recording of what they need live and riff everything else that they can live. Just like they do for a ton of songs. If there’s one thing I know about giz nothing is off the table for seeing it live.
What are some songs that they play a recording and then jam over it?

They haven’t played anything from Butterfly 3000 live other than Shanghai. Seems lots of songs are off the table because more hardware is needed.
Most songs played live have some sort of aspect that was recorded and played back in order to avoid issues. Sometimes it’s just a backing track . Or weird synth track that they can’t reproduce Live easily. It’s not like they’re playing a whole ass song. Pre-recorded. But they use some pre-recorded bits to assist in everything else. They play live in order to make the song right. And I’m making gizzard at some point. Has played almost everything from their catalog. I know butterfly 3000 is short of love plays but they’ve played more than just Shanghai.
This list of all of their shows and setlists only has Shanghai. I hope I’m wrong about them not playing much of The Silver Cord live. It would be rad if they did an 80s Depeche Mode thing and rocked it out on synths.
Looking forward to it. Wasnt hooked at first until i listened to them on spotify, already giving me ear worms
