porcupine treeeeeeeeeeee

Saw Porcupine Tree at the Beacon Theatre last night. It was our second time seeing them, and they are just so damned good. They were originally one of R's bands -- and then became my band -- because their main driving force (Steven Wilson) actually likes the same things I do, and it comes through, which makes me a happy girl. While their latter work is quite progressive and metally, there's also nice bass lines and intricate rhythms...and their earlier work gives more than a passing bow to electronica (yay). They're still playing out on the East Coast, so if you can, go. :)

Steven Wilson is also extraordinarily prolific -- he's got at least four other projects happening at the same time as Porcupine Tree -- so if Tree isn't your bag, other things he does might be!

The one thing I just can't figure out: how does he keep his glasses on while banging his head?! One of life's mysteries...
