OK this is wierd. I was just thinking about an old track that US put out about 6 years ago. Lost Vagueness was the name of it. There is an Oliver Lieb remix that I used to love and guess still love. Heard it? It was one of those tracks that had a real catchy bass line. I think I still have it on MP3 at home. Fun track to play.
I like the sound of this. $15 isn't bad. Still, I need a ticket to WMC!!!!!

Well, I'll be honest with you, prior to the announcement of this show I don't remember hearing of Utah Saints. I understand that they have been around for a good number of years & that I have heard their music before & just didn't realize it was them performing or I wasn't paying close enough attention to the artist name of the songs.
I decided to go surfing the web to see what information I could find on the group & here's what I found.....
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Utah_Saints
Utah Saints are a danceband from Leeds, England. The music is produced by Jez Willis and Tim Garbutt, who are joined on-stage by other musicians whenever the band plays live.
Utah Saints were one of the early pioneers of bringing sampling technology into mainstream dance and pop music.
History
They were described as "the first true stadium house band" (by Bill Drummond), though their music is difficult to place into one particular genre and they have been compared to Underworld, Fluke, The KLF, and even Ministry or Nine Inch Nails.
They first had chart success with the singles "What Can You Do For Me", "Something Good" and "Believe In Me", which they described as their vocal sample trilogy as those singles sampled Gwen Guthrie, Kate Bush and Human League respectively ("What Can You Do For Me" also features a sample from Eurythmics). Contrary to one rumour, the band were not sued by Kate Bush over the use of a sample from Bush's track "Cloudbusting" in the Utah Saints track "Something Good" - the sample was legally cleared before use.
Utah Saints then moved away from vocal samples with singles such as "I Want You" and "I Still Think Of You" (Jez Willis providing original vocals on each).
After their debut album, the self-titled Utah Saints, and one further single "Ohio", Utah Saints seemed to disappear for several years, though they were still busy doing remixes (for a diverse range of bands including Blondie, Human League, Hawkwind, Simple Minds, James and The Osmonds) and the theme to the 1995 blockbuster, Mortal Kombat), and producing tracks for other artists such as Terrorvision. During this time, they recorded an album that was to be called "Wired World" but was never released, and produced a handful of Utah Saints tracks that to date have never had a proper release either, with titles such as "Star", "Train" and "Rock".
They eventually re-appeared in late 1999 with charting singles "Love Song", "Funky Music" (featuring Edwin Starr on guest vocals), "Power To The Beats" and "Lost Vagueness" (featuring Chrissie Hynde). In 2002 they went back into hibernation and fans are still waiting for their next re-appearance. They have been doing DJ appearances and the occasional remix but there has been no more original material so far.
The band are notorious amongst their fans and the dance music community for taking a long time in between their releases - their first album Utah Saints and follow-up album Two were released seven years apart.
They have also been working on projects under other names, such as BeatVandals, as well as developing their very popular regular Leeds-based club night SugarBeatClub.

How was the show?
Average, at best. They started off with pretty good track selection, but you would think it was the first time either of them had ever DJ'd. Technically speaking, these guys were way below par. About halfway through their set, they just lost me. Didn't see where they were going with the set at all. Got up and left at that point. Carbon Community was ok, but everything started to sound exactly the same towards the end of their show. I didn't realize everything they were doing was quasi-live. It was funny though. Christy and I didn't think the guy on the synth drums was really playing. So we watched him for a bit, paying attention to the beat and all percussions of each track. Sure enough....Ladies and Gentelmen, I give you Milli Vanilli, Ashley Simpson, and CARBON COMMUNITY.
Posers! Fakers! Liars! No one else seemed to have caught that there was a break in the beat and the guy kept going at it on the drums. Only problem was there was no sound when he was still playing. Christy and I got a kick out of it. All in all, not one of the better shows at LL. But they can't all be great and there are some great ones coming up.
