I'm going to see Electric Masada in London next week. In the meantime, has anyone seen them around Europe? I'd love to read a review of one of their gigs! I saw them last Saturday in Vienne (France) and it was just great!!! I guess the band was the normal one (i.e. Zorn, Baptista, Wollensen, Dunn, Ribot, and Saft). I had never heard electric masada and didn't really know what to expect from it. I was really pleased to see that changes from the regular Masada are not too big but still really add a lot. The show ended with a really nice encore with Zorn using a mobile phone in the end of the song ;-)

The show in Vienne was great -- but too short, only 6 songs from what I remember. Btw does anyone have the playlist? Also are the other 4 (besides Zorn & Ribot) regulars, I didn't know them. The ``rock'' sound of Electric Masada was a complete surprise for me and I loved it. One other thing that amazed me is the enthusiastic response of the audience (a lot more enthusiastic than for, say, the (imho) pathetic show that Laswell gave that same evening). Paul
