In Photos: Modeselektor @ The Button Factory, Dublin (15.10.11)
German electro titans Modeselektor rocked up to Dublin's Button Factory recently for a show in support of their brand new third album, Monkeytown - their first studio LP for four years, and the debut release on their own imprint of the same name. Little wonder, then, that the venue was rammed pretty much to capacity for what was arguably the highlight of ChoiceCuts' inaugural Rhythm Weekender.
The Berlin duo were intent on keeping punters waiting a little while longer, however, and the sight of an empty stage for two hours (there was no support act) grinded the gears of many in attendance. When Messrs. Bronsert and Szary did eventually appear, though, all was quickly forgiven as the pair unleashed a frantic mix of tribal beats and sinister techno, with on-the-money versions of Monkeytown material predictably to the fore.
