Kooky and brilliant, as per usual. Last night’s set included a handful of tunes from his new LP (Minor Love), a selection of fan faves (‘Jessica’, ‘Morning After Midnight’, ‘Dance With Me’) & even a teaser line from the Moldy Peaches classic, ‘On Top’. Official TMS Rating: 9/10. Visit Adam Green on MySpace. Prior to Adam’s sensational performance, I chatted with him for a forthcoming segment on TMS TV. It’ll be featured on the site very shortly! Adam Green will head out on a brief UK journey later this month.

‘Do I look like Lady GaGa? Yes? Then I’m taking it off. I’ve been wearing wigs since that bitch was still in high school’! That hilarious statement was uttered by Casey Spooner a few minutes past midnight at Fischerspooner’s sensational New Year’s Eve gig. If I described their Music Hall performance as brilliant, then this week’s show was positively otherwordly. Official TMS Rating: 10/10. Watch Fischerspooner’s official video for ‘We Are Electric’ here. Not to be discounted by any means, Dangerous Muse did a fabulous job as the evening’s opening act. All accompanying photos by Santiago Felipe.

Last night, Devo performed their legendary 1978 album, Q: Are We Not Men? A: We Are Devo!, in its entirety (alongside a handful of extra treats). As you might have guessed, the gig was undeniably incredible. TMS Rating: 10/10. Read my Q&A with Devo here. Visit Devo at their official site. Devo’s Mark Mothersbaugh recently scored Circle Of 8.

Our brilliant guest photographer, Alexis Maindrault, took a series of shots at last night’s gig. He assures us that the marriage between new & old material was thoroughly refreshing as was Moby’s dedication before ‘Go’ (to everyone who found themselves at 6AM dancing in a hangar with thousands of sweaty people having fun). Uncover all dates on his North American trek here.
