Well this night was terrible.
We got there, and since I'm only 20, couldn't get in. The end.
Thanks for changing the age without telling anyone. It definately said 18+, 21 to drink on the flyer before.
The bouncer said we could get a refund on groovetickets, but the fine print definately says no refunds unless the event is cancelled. |

I think there were kind of a lot of under 21 MWTA's heading to this...
Topher? Ben? Did you guys get in?
Anxiously awaiting reviews...
Sorry to hear you got shot down CD... |

yea i got in... i am of legal age you know ...
anyway, the place was absolutely packed and the vibe was great.
seth & mack were great. great mixing, great tracks (thanks for dropping 34k seth :) :).
liquid todd wasn't great... dropped some played out tracks and mixing was not on for almost the entire set.
hernan was absolutely incredible. played some amazing tracks and mixed flawlessly. i enjoyed his entire set.
oakey... what can i say. his mixing was shoddy at best, but played great tracks new&old... the crowd loved him, and even though all the people i came with were cringing during some of his weaker transitions, i can't say that i didn't enjoy it overall.
overall it was a very enjoyable evening minus some of the douchebags around us (those who were there know what i'm talking about). this type of event is great for the indy scene, hopefully everything builds on this.
it was nice to meet some new people (TAs and others). hoping to see everyone again in the near future. |

Being of age I had no problems either. Topher was there with his brother, and Chris was there as well so I'm not sure why they gave you at the door.
I didn't get to see Seth which was a big disappointment. Liquid Todd had a few technical flaws and played some lame tracks, but still managed to mix better than Cokenfold. Hernan blew the roof off the building like he always does(the whole reason why I went to the show). I had to fight my way through everyone to get his autograph, but managed to do so. Oaky dropped his first track right in the middle of Hernan's last and allowed both to play for a little bit, then proceeded to pretty much trainwreck every transition from then till the time I left. He played some good tunes, but the mixing was terrible.
Overall, I had a great time. I still can't believe we had a bill like that for a show in Indy. Seeing Hernan was a big thrill since I've been wanting to see him for a couple years now. I'm looking forward to seeing everyone at the Fortier show next week. |

i had a blast. my 3rd TA experience. i was ichin for another time to go out and listen to some techno/trance/etc. i would have to say it was extremely hot in there and nicely packed. i felt out of place too...which goes with the stigma of the club. not saying i wouldn't go again since another one is comin in about 2 weeks.
and they didn't have me on the VIP list which i paid for. "did you print your receipt?" no i don't need to. "are you sure it was this show?" are you kiddin me? how often does oakenfold come to indy on 7/11/2005. give me a break.

nice to meet a couple new people. it was def fun meetin back up w/ topher, pat, and phreek. ARMIN roadtrip. it's awesome i didn't have to drive or ride for 5 hours to get to the concert. i can't really critique on mixin as i don't know much on it but i liked some of the tracks. i was exhausted by the time Oakenfold got on the set. let's get a TA meet up organized next time prior to the concert.
and then seein a girl i knew from my hs. cot damn she's so hot. def a plus to see she's into that music. :wink: :wink: :eyes: |

Sorry Ben, thought you were only 20 ;)
From the sounds of things... Oakenfold was exactly the same in Indy as Milwaukee... |

I wasn't at all surprised by Oaky's mixing. I figured it wasn't going to be perfect, but was kind of shocked at how blatantly obvious he was making it that he didn't give a . He really didn't even try, but after playing for 30 years, having a massive cult follwing, and admitting he'd rather do movies than dj, it should come as no surprise that he does that and didn't think twice.
It's neat to see the guy play since he's a living legend in EDM. It would just be nice to see him put a little more effort into it no matter how bored he is with it. Which kind of begs the question as to why he's still touring if he's so bored? I know he was never an amazing dj technically, but I also know he could beat match if he really wanted to. |

Well it was nice to see so many people to come out and support the music in none other than Indianapolis last night. I was surprised. When I walked in I was shocked and couldn’t believe that the scene I saw was right here in my resident city when normally I travel hours to find what usually gets me going.
I wish I could’ve made it for Seth & Mack’s set. Disappointed I missed it. I’m sure there will be a next time though.
Liquid Todd was too hard for me. My roommate enjoyed him though. He liked him the best of all 3.
Hernan was my favorite of all three. I couldn’t stop dancing to what he played and honestly I wish I could have kept dancing throughout his whole set but it was so hot in there and not near enough room to dance. When I hear my music I like to be able to at least enjoy it to it’s fullest and I couldn’t do that last night. It was literally body to body and I swear 150 degrees. But again, nice to see so many people there to support. I had never heard Hernan before but now that I have I will definitely be making a road trip to see him play. I would love to check him out again.
The best part of Oakenfold-his first track with Nick Warren’s “Rain” (I think it’s called that not sure though). I’m in love with that song and that was the highlight of my night when I heard it. Although I wish he would have played the whole thing. It’s nice to say I’ve actually seen Oakenfold now however I was not all that impressed. You can tell if a DJ is bored and could care less if he is there. That’s the vibe I got from him. His set was good though. The crowd didn’t stop moving. He played some good stuff. However I couldn’t really get a good look at him because #1 the DJ Booth was so damn high up all I could see was the top of his head. #2 When I did step back to get a good look all I could see was the blinding lights that were right in front of the booth the entire night. It could have been anyone up there in a wig playing a set of Oakenfold’s and I wouldn’t have known. I don’t know call me crazy but when I’m at a show, I like to see the DJ, see the DJ interact with the crowd, and get a chance to meet the DJ and get an autograph and pic. None of those happened last night. I have never seen a DJ end his set, clap at the crowd and have them chant his name, and just when you expect him to blast into his encore, he turns away and runs off stage. But like I said, it’s Oakenfold in Indy. We were lucky he even bothered to show up.
All in all, I could have watched an entire night of Hernan. He was enjoying himself and the crowd. You could tell. That makes a good show.
It was nice to finally meet up with all you TA’s. Had lots of fun with you all!!! Hope we can all get together again soon. Possibly for Fortier???
Be sure to check back soon. I will be posting pics soon
