Right now, Matthew Dear is arguably one of electronic music's most versatile artists. He's made stripped-down, fluid constructions as False, rough, acid techno as Audion, and more pop-oriented fare under his own name. Dear explores the latter tonight, playing selections from 2007's superb Asa Breed with support from a full band (aka his Big Hands). While the earliest incarnations of this setup were slightly shaky, Big Hands have found their stride and tightened up with extensive international touring. The resulting show is the antithesis of faceless electronic music, and Dear proves to be quite the charismatic showman, with plenty of swagger and Byrne-esque intonation.
