Basement Jaxx at the Brixton Academy

Basement Jaxx
Claudia and I went to hear Simon Ratcliffe and Felix Buxton (collectively known as Basement Jaxx) tonight. Where's Your Head At was the highlight of the evening, for myself and everyone else in the place. My other favorites were two tunes of music and beats only, no vocals. Dissappointments:
1. The sharp cuts that make 'Romeo' a superb studio song are lost in the live performance
2. It wasn't Siouxsie Sioux who came out in black leather and a whip to sing 'Kish Kash'
3. They didn't play 'Rendezvous'

This tour is promoting the new album Kish Kash and the show was at their home base in Brixton. The stage show included a killer high-res LED super widescreen display.
