Apparently it takes three of us in different parts of the country to sort through the electro-drama and piece together a story: As reported last week, electro auteurs The Hague Underground took a very vocal stance on the commercialization of the genre. In a new effort to bolster the integrity of electro [generic, no-wave, or whatever you like to call it], H.U. label Bunker Records has teamed with Safety in Numbers and champions of subversion and sarcasm Vice Magazine to present the North American leg of their world tour. Okay, actually, it's a whole lot of hype and it doesn't seem like anything has actually changed... other than DJ Hell won't be guestlisting anyone from H.U. anytime soon. In any event, what we do get are a slew of great shows from up-and-coming artists - including [as BitBoy just brought to our attention] Memory Systems in Brooklyn on the 18th, along with Orange Sunshine, LegoWelt, Orgue Electronique and more. The beautiful synth circus hits Detroit on September 14th.
