crackerCAM was on location at crash mansion for the pop sensation erasure on saturday night. by the grace of our new wave gods above, my awesomist friend tara scored free tickets to the concert from jack fm and invited yours truly; best +1 ever! the concert was a sensory banquet where andy bell’s angelic voice was the centerpiece among a well arranged place setting of string instruments. for most who only remember their synthesizer beats, erasure’s acoustic performance was a comforting reminder of the lyrics underlying their beautiful ballads. maybe you’re thinking “oh l’amour” is so 1986, but listen to it’s acoustic evolution and be pleasantly surprised that what’s old is refreshingly new.
