Obomatic - Live @ The Trocadero (2000)


As we were beginning recording sessions at Floating Fish Studios on the Obomatic - Holy Uncontrollio!!! CD, we took time out to headline a show at The Trocadero on 07/15/00 in Philadelphia, PA. Being Philly's premier live concert theatre venue, it was a show that we couldn't pass up. We had only been performing live for a few months but had already established a loyal fan base. This was due in part to our reputation as an electronic supergroup comprised of members from Punch Drunk and Any Questions? as well as the staunch support we received from a local promoter, DJ Octopussy.

This show features the original live infiltration Obomatic unit which consisted of Steve O - Vocals, Troll IO - Synthesizers, Scottologic - Synthesizers, and Timmotronic - Electronic Percussion. It was also our most elaborate stage show to date. The high intensity RoboScan light show helped to mesmerize the audience as we pummeled them with a set of dope-adelic hiptronica and jacked up rap-alistic techno-disturbia.

Special thanks to Steve "Awesome" Olsen for videotaping this performance for us. Unfortunately, the excessive volume from the PA system was too much for his set up to capture so the audio is distorted.
