My cousin Andrew, not one to make a scene, opted for his own wire framed Costco glasses and an Amoeba Records shirt. When it exists mostly online, the trends are also accelerated. It's as if everyone is clothing themselves to live their life as a dressable digital avatar (a joke you'll see on TikTok that also rings true). It's absurd but you get the sense that it's earnest. Another, encircled by girls wearing Avril Lavigne skinny ties and leg warmers, wore a Spiderman suit beneath a Playboi Carti shirt. I admired a young man ahead of us in Salvation Army desert boots, a Kool-Aid red peltish hat with faux antlers, sagging denim shorts and decorative Sonic the Hedgehog backpack. Drawing observable influence from Y2K and emo mall goths, stringy haired Wayne's World-era burn outs, Soundcloud rap, apocalyptic sci-fi and anime, the unique fashion sensibility of the Drain Gang fans was on full display. Malls may be dying but referential mall style is alive. It smelled like Burger Boy grease and construction when we found our place at the end of the queue. Mary's Strip - a traffic barrel punctuated thoroughfare that has long appeared to be torn up by coat zipper teeth.
A long line of young people was already snaking down the concrete side of the St. We arrived at the Paper Tiger at 7 p.m., 15 minutes after doors opened, my cousin on the brink of his first concert experience. This is perhaps why I feel the subculture demands close attention. However my young Gen Z cousin was enthusiastic about seeing them as soon as the show was announced for Saturday, April 16.Įven if you think Drain Gang is bad, there's no denying that their post-ironic, electronically inflected cultural presence illustrates something definitive about the generation that has elevated them to global acclaim. In such an end times-aware era, Drain Gang's music at its most rapturous feels like an attempt at packaging something warm and human into a cold and modulated vessel that can survive an inhospitable future.Īn elder Gen Z at 24, I enjoy a few Drain Gang songs but wouldn't necessarily consider myself a member of the San Antonio sector of the Drain Gang community. There's something interestingly apocalyptic and sci-fi about this sort of bionic "beep boop" music, along with genre neighbor "hyper pop." It's aware of the singularity, the hypothetical point in time when technological growth uncontrollably surpasses human ability.
Like the Rolling Stones before them, a lot of their music is about doing drugs. They're sort of like the thinking man's 100 Gecs. Fans can head here to pre-order Bridges To Buenos Aires.Drain Gang's vocals are often spacey, auto-tuned, and ungendered, punctuated by trap drums. The film will be released on DVD, Blu-Ray, and digital video formats, while the live album will be available on CD, limited-edition blue and black translucent triple vinyl, and digital audio. The Stones’ Buenos Aires concert film was restored from original footage, and the audio was remixed and remastered from live multi-track recordings. The show featured a plethora of Stones’ classics including “(I Can’t Get No) Satisfaction”, “Gimme Shelter”, “Its Only Rock ‘n’ Roll (But I Like It)”, “Sympathy For The Devil”, “Jumpin’ Jack Flash”, and “Brown Sugar”, along with covers of Chuck Berry‘s “Little Queenie” and Marianne Faithfull’s “Sister Morphine” in addition to the Dylan cover. The tour included 97 shows from September 23rd, 1997 through September 19th, 1998 as the band toured in support of their 1997 studio album, Bridges To Babylon.
The five-night Buenos Aires run came as part of the band’s Bridges To Babylon tour.
It featured an opening set by Bob Dylan and saw him later join The Rolling Stones for a take on his “Like A Rolling Stone”. The concert was the last of a five-night, sold-out run in Buenos Aires. The forthcoming film highlights The Stones’ April 5th, 1998 concert held at Buenos Aires, Argentina’s River Plate Stadium. No Filter Tour, The Rolling Stones have announced a new concert film, Bridges To Buenos Aires, which is set for release on November 8th via Eagle Rock.
