Futureshock or Royksopp?

Well, I'm just fucking broke ok... I get the chance to either see Royksopp or Futureshock perform. I've seen Royksopp perform on Lowlands festival in august and they blew me away, amazing! However, I like Futureshock's music but I don't know if they are worth it to see them live? Anyone can tell me if they're any good?

I saw Royksopp at Winter Music Conference in Miami 2003 and was less than impressed. I'd check out Futureshock, if for no other reason than it's something you haven't seen before.

Futureshock for sure. I've seen Royksopp a few times and I'm not even sure most of it was live. It sounded and looked like a lot of it was from pre-sequenced source or PA. Entertaining sure, but not entirely convincing.

Plus, Futureshock are pretty damn good.

...I thought that Futureshock just dj-ed though? Like they would play their own records and mix them; and not just play the songs themselves live

Yeah, i saw Royksopp twice, first at Newcastle uni were it really did seem they pressed play and stood there, the only dance act ive never seen improving or mucking around with the song. However, they were much better at t in the park 03 when i last saw them.

Id say futureshock for summin new.

Are you guys sure you saw the same Royksopp as me?

Fair enough they weren't sensational at this year's Glastonbury, but when I saw them at T In The Park 03 they gave one of the most energetic performances I have ever seen from a "dance" band...
