I could have seen them, but I didn't go. I've never heard them though.

yea i have seen both particle and hydra before
the last particle show i saw was at wakarusa, late night on friday. the fiddler player from railroad earth (by the way, another great band to check out) and the trumpet and sax players from ozomatli (ditto) came out and jammed with particle for a while
they had these awesome visuals projected on the top of the tent. the base was a live video feed of the band members, overlayed with winamp style visualizations. totally trippy and i caught myself many times with my head back, just staring up into the tent

Yeah, I like em. I like the way they mix funk and techno. They actually came here a few months ago, but I didn't go see them because I couldn't get anyone to go with me. I was going to go by myself, but something else came up and I didn't. Next time they are around I definitely will though.

Ya I like them, saw them about 4 months ago in town.
I really like their keyboard player, but I think their lead guitarist is a bit overbearing and bossy at times~

Was about to catch a show of their's in Santa Cruz at the Catalyst but I got cold feet at the last minute since it required a 400 mile drive to get there - and from the samples I heard on their website I didn't immediately fall in love with them. Then again, I didn't immediately fall in love with the Dead and now ten years later I'm a fucking fanatic!
One of these days...

yea, i know what you're saying. just hearing samples on your PC, you can't really compare that to seeing them live. i wouldn't say i am "in love" with particle, they're no grateful dead or anything, but they do put on a rockin live performance which is why i really dig them
my fav. band member is probably the keyboard player as well
peace

btw for those who like Particle.. I've decided they sound so much like Ozric Tentacles it's weird. If you want to check them out too.

Ya the Ozric Tentacles kick ass too.
I was under the impression that they were more of a straight electronic band than a live act?
But I'm pretty sure that was just me being an idiot and assuming~

I'm still pissed I missed that but I was nodding off while standing up so I had to make the sad decision of going back to the tent for some much needed sleep.
