[Dynagroove] who is going to MARTINEZ BROTHERS at DEEP tonight?

[Zack Hill]

I thought the stuff they were playing for the first 90min or so was
awesome. Lots of new tracks and some stuff I hadn't heard before.

Then the monitors went out. Then the highs on the left side of the club
sounded blown. Before you knew it you had 10 guys on the stage reaching
over the mixer (and each other) to try and fix it. After all that I would
have probably played safer and lost my concentration too.

I thought they were dope though.. I left around 3 and felt I got my
money's worth. I was actually commenting to a few people that I was half
expecting to hear MORE of the hits and was pleased to hear a lot of new
music instead.
