Venus Hum opened for Blue Man Group on BMG's last tour. Yawners. They were ok actually, but ok as in "I bet they'd be good to listen to on headphones with the lights off." They were this synth/electronica/dub group. Two guys, on playing synths and one playing, I kid you not, an iMac. And not flashy synth runs either. One hand holding a chord and one hand twitching nobs. The computer guy was throwing in loops and effects and stuff. Basically, it was watching two electronica nerds do what they did in their studio (i.e. bedrooms), only on a stage. They had a girl singing. That was it.... Big Sarcastic Wow.
Then Blue Man Group blew our brains out.
