Electronica makes a comeback in Baltimore

Even though it seemed electronica came and went in the late '90s, The Crystal Method drew a large crowd at Rams Head Live! on May 12. Apparently tour mates Danger couldn't make the show, though. Instead, the audience was greeted by Baltimore's own The Megadrives. A fire dancer accompanied the first half of that set, and she only caught her hair on fire once. The MC who performed next didn't stay on stage too long, before jumping into the crowd to spit his mike skills directly in the faces of crowd members.
The Crystal Method started its set by screening a video for one of its newest singles, "Drown in the Now," on two circular screens. Afterward, it switched on enough lighting to blind a 747 from the sky, and dished out enough bass to level a skyscraper. Thankfully, neither of those two disastrous metaphors came to fruition. Instead, lots of people just danced their pants off...figuratively speaking, of course.
