Lamb's show at Axis, the second date on a small U.S. tour, suffered from technical difficulties: the venue seemingly expected only a DJ and a singer. Instead, the band brought along drummer Mikey Wilson, double bassist Jon Thorne and trumpeter Kevin Davy. Poor sound, especially from the drums, was an issue throughout the show, and the first song, "Soft Mistake," had to be abandoned because the reverb was horrendous. With the worst of the sound problems under control, the band returned to stage and launched into an hour-long set, drawing heavily from their second album, Fear of Fours...
...band left the stage during the initial misstart, most of the music kept playing, revealing that much of the sound, including a sizable percentage of the rhythm section, was pre-recorded. Lamb's albums are very much studio affairs, made with a sequencer and hard drive. As such, they face the sticking point that's kept most electronic acts from success in the States: how to put on a convincing live show. Bjork manages to do it by the intensity of her stage persona, while the more laidback Massive Attack put on a powerful show by recasting their songs...
...furniture store: "For all your bedroom needs, everything but the girl." They couldn't have chosen a better name, because that is exactly what one likes about this album, everything but the you-know-who. Tracey Thorn and Ben Watt firs came out in 1982 with a jazz-pop sound, and people kind of liked them then.

...pretty good Hillary in Hollywood on Wednesday night, talking loud - "Is there no protest anymore?" - but staying mum about his own intentions. Beatty's liberal siphon could be as strong as Buchanan's conservative one, but only if he too jumps to the Reform party, which he doesn't sound too likely to do. Meanwhile, Mr. Big Lead might want to keep his eye on his own backyard - that was Nancy Reagan sitting in the front row for John McCain's do at her husband's Presidential Library in Simi Valley. One thing George Sr., the ex-CIA chief, knew...
