I've enjoyed the music of both groups for a long time. As I said, I was excited for the opportunity to see them perform. However, guys leaning forward toward their laptops, squinting their eyes to see what to "click next" isn't much of a "performance."
My history with Clock DVA was first hearing tracks of theirs on compilation LP's and cassettes back in the mid to late 80's. I've always been more partial to their instrumental / experimental based music.
Number's Night Club as been a Houston institution for close to 40 years now. It's where I first heard Meat Beat Manifesto and back in the day, I was just as excited about the 12" remixes as I was full length albums.

Notice the screen in front. It often had hell fire images of flames and whatnot playing and that was a cool effect......but the guys never stepped out from behind their laptops, never stopped to talk or share a story about the music.
