Venture Bros Season 5 preview

This YouTube video of Season 5 of Venture Bros looks amazing. Its described as a sneak peek but offers more than just a quick clip show that makes you consider taking a long holiday to the USA just to see it. I bet the 19th May 2013 can't come quick enough for our cousins over the pond - lucky gits. Here's the slideshow of images from the Venture Bros blog .

Thanks to friend Sukey for nagging us to buy tickets and go to this audio\visual splendor. Turned up way too early though and could have avoided bunking off work an hour early. The support DJ Ital Tek played a sort of drum and bass set which didn't really interest the crowd. Although I was aware of Tobin's performances I'd never actually listened to his music so did some YouTube listening. Good to see some video game soundtrack on his CV via Splinter Cell but it was certainly music that you would listen to rather than dance to. His set started with a massive black curtain unveiling his white cubic set with projected visuals. I was reminded of Etienne De Crecy's cube visuals we'd seen years ago but Amon Tobin had taken it to the next level.  His first half was the money-shot with a spaceship theme and cinematic electronic music. Tobin could be seen in the centre of the cubed wall with a clever switchable see-through screen whenever he wanted to show himse
