Lawler blew the place up and Nathan Barato did a sweet job opening it up. Coincidently last Saturday I saw Barato at Phoenix in London and he played hard and long to a small group of hardcore partiers...definitely dirty dirty electro that foreshadowed his Guv performance.
Got in to Guv around 245 and it was rammed as everyone else said...got right to the front and watched Lawler mash up the main room, but it got far better on skybar, the weather got warmer and the body heat made it comfortable. Normally I get "the fear" of the morning and sun, but Lawler put it to be with a banging set for an up for it crowd...met some greta new people, others who've seen my tall ass before but I never knew and tons of people I saw at Richie Hawtin back in May. Great crowd, great set, ripped it til 830 and finished with some melodic radiohead. Btw, his new CD is solid and totally mirrors his Guv set, definitely worth the pickup if you didn't snag one on the rooftop.
Totally worth the wait, didn't get to the skybar show last year, so no way to compare but definitely a fav for 06.
