I guess I must have totally different taste than you~
I got to Crobar around 1am, dealt with the smarmy doorfolk who were more than willing to take money to bring you to the front of the line...but not into the actual club....ugh...we finally got in around 1:30.
Crobar is awesome, visually and acoustically sensational. I agree with you that it will dominate NYC nightlife and rightfully so. It is a great venue. The wind tunnel between the two rooms is very cool ~ it's a great design and cool buffer between the two vastly different types of music being played. I really liked the video screens which take up the entire wall in the main room ~ lots of potential with that kind of set up. The costumed dancers really added to the funky mood.
Anyway, it was my first time seeeing Deep Dish and I am sorry to say that I thought that DEEP DISH SUCKED MAJOR ASS. Seriously, they just couldn't get a good groove going. I've got no problem with dark techy tribal beats, but they'd have a long long long build, slowly bring up the pace and mood...and....right when you thought they'd bring you to the top....they'd just drop it right back down to the bottom again. Over and over and over again. It was the must frustrating night I've ever had in a club ~ people around me just kept saying "FUCK! ~ these guys SUCK!" each time the build crashed and the peak was dropped. It was all unfufilling musical foreplay as far as I'm concerned. We kept hoping that it would progress & get better, but by 4:30 we gave up hope and bailed. Glad to have checked out Crobar finally, pissed that we wasted so much money to see these clowns. I should have listened to one of my friends who saw the same thing happen when Deep Dish played at Twilo. He said it was the worst night there ever. Now I know why.
Should have gone to see Victor Dinaire!!!

^LOL. i heard the same review from several different people. well, looks like i'm not going to see them @ space during wmc!!!

Yeah from the track you spotted it looks like they played a really weak set. Those tunes are sooo fucking old. Last year at space they fucking tore the roof off. Hmmmmm guess they are hit or miss.

We got there at 1 as well. Crobar is a nice venue. It has a really nice phazon system - probably the best one I've heard so far. But the venue was smaller than I expected. Also, Deep Dish did not play at their best. It was a mediocre set and they had some technical problems like cd's skipping.

I heard Deep Dish at the Guvernment which was amazing. Perhaps next time they will deliver

I hope Sasha Digweed delivers!

first time @ crobar last night.. sick venue.
the best sound system I've ever heard in a club.
in the hands of the right DJ, I predict chaos & mayhem for future events.

dd played some super seXXy tracks
with some crazy drums and euphoric
moments...

i agree the gig wasn't perfect but
it was definately VERY creative
and often times so f sensual

i would see dish any night of any
given week!

as always trance@cu was having the
best time and flirting ceaslessly

regarding the "cd skiping" it was
done purposely... and amazingly
transformed into a high note which
climaxed into another unbelievable
track!

for 2004:

nu.nrg + crobar = paradise

They may be old but I would KILL to hear diamond life. Deep Dish def. isn't for everyones tastes. I don't know i've never seen them live, but their latest GU is one of my favorite sets of all time.

There was no resident DJ - Dean Coleman from Bullitt Bookings opened for them. He had a great set. We even heard a remix of Brother Browns 'Under the Water' - classic song on a great sound system. Sweet!

As for Deep Dish...it was a bit of a Deep Snooze. I agree with the majority of observations here. All foreplay, going nowhere. It was quite frustrating.
