Simian Mobile Disco @ Mayan

11-25-09

We just had another exciting Simian Mobile Disco (British DJ - Electro House) duo night in Los Angeles. At this time, they held a great music at the Mayan in downtown LA. The sounds was great, and their new album was awesome although the crowds were different from last time at Henry Fonda. It seems like we had more younger crowd this time. As usual, Meg and I were standing right in front of the stage to feel great energy of the artists however, we got too much energy from teenagers who were around us... Was it just because we are just getting old or SMD is getting really popular..? I think it's ... both... Sigh... I could had handle better if this was a year ago...

"When you are in younger crowds, you have to know (or remember) what you'll get in to. If you think you can't handle it, just get out of it before you hurt yourself or hurt them..."
When I think of this, I thought to myself "OMG... I'm getting really old..." lol

Anyway, the show was great. However, this might be the last time to go to electronica show, at least for this year. I would love to go and see any cool bands however I am not sure if I can handle younger ones anymore, sadly...

シミアン、またロスに来ましたよ〜！今回はダウンタウンにある、マイアンシアターで行われました。ここは前回のヘンリーフォンダと同じぐらいの規模ですが、個人的な意見としては家からも近いということで、フォンダの方が好きかな。。。というか今回も超イケてる音楽で私達をノリノリにさせてくれたシミアンでしたが、今回の観客、若い若い！いつものように、めぐっぺと最前列陣とってたけど、若い者に押され、髪の毛振り乱された時にこっちの顔にかかるわ、足は踏まれるわ。。。で、途中まで踏ん張ってみたけど、イライラしながらショーを見るより、安全なところに避難して安心しながら見た方がよいとやーっと思い始め、
若い群衆から離れたところでほっと一息つきながら、ビールを片手に。。。

なんか最近、「若者は。。。」という記事を書くようになって（恥ずかしながら）、これはもう年なんでしょうかね。。。ってか年だって気づけよ！って感じですけどね（苦笑）
１年前ぐらいまでだったらこんなのなんとも思ってなかったような気がするけど、最近はもう。。。多分エレクトロニカ系はこれで（少なくとも今年は）最後かなー。
気が向けばだけど、インディーロック系でこれから攻めたいと思います。

まーこんな感想になっちゃいましたが、肝心のSMDの音楽は相変わらず素晴らしかった！やっぱり若者からこんなおばちゃんまでノリノリにさせてくれるからね。新しいアルバム「Temporary Pleasure」もいいしね！
