Joining the Chant: Nitzer Ebb, Motor at Irving Plaza
- Posted on Sep 18th 2006 2:51PM by Jeffrey Graham
I must admit that I was more than a little concerned when I learned that seminal industrial band Nitzer Ebb was touring to support their retrospective CD, 'Body Of Work.' After all, it's been 16 years since they last hit the U.S. and a lot has changed. Techno, breaks, and drum & bass have come and gone (argue as much as you want, you know it's true) and industrial as a genre is more than a little stale. So how would something so minimal hold up all these years? Pretty effin' well, actually. Founding members Douglas McCarthy (vocals) and Vaughn "Bon" Harris (percussion/vocals) were joined on stage by new touring member Kourtney Klein, and pounded through over an hour of classics.
Complete setlist and 29 more pix (including a few of the opening act Motor) after the jump.
Motor doing their thing:
Don't you know that there's fun to be had? Nitzer Ebb take the stage.
Setlist:
'Getting Closer'
'Let Your Body Learn'
'Shame'
'Hearts & Minds'
'Captivate'
'Godhead'
'Blood Money'
'For Fun'
'Ascend'
'Lightning Man'
'Control, I'm Here'
'Murderous'
'Join in the Chant'

hey, i would have screamed for "warsaw ghetto" too if i didn't assume the whole show was preprogrammed. it was great anyway.
here's my own blog post about the show:

Show was indeed fun, however, I could have done without the two Ebbhead album cuts. The crowd was into Godhead though.
It was awesome to hear all the Belief album cuts they played.
Flood's synth programming still came through and sounded brilliant.
Join In The Chant definitely was the ulimiate track of the show where all of Irving Plaza got in sync with
"fire, fire fire... uuuOOOOOOOOoohhhhhhhh!
Muscle and Hate!"
Funnest part for me anyway and the only track they really really steered away from an album cut version. Pretty much every song was in and out in 3-4 minutes as opposed to the 7-8 minutes we would get on the 12" singles.
Is it just me, but doesn't D. McCarththy look just like Jason Patrick in T2?
I screamed for Warsaw Ghetto, but, I guess there wasn't time for a 3rd encore just for me.. ;)
