Live: Kid Koala's Space Cadet Headphone Experience Crashes In Brooklyn

. It sounded like it could have been bliss, transporting each audience member off to an insular new world and immersing them in sounds and visuals as the story unraveled. But the arrangement was only partly true and only applied to some of the crowd, either through disingenuity or design.

The disingenuous part came from the way it seemed that greed won out, as the lack of space pods resulted in around a third of the audience being left to sit on rickety chairs or the bare floor. This was not any sort of way to immerse yourself in anything other than discomfort. Frustratingly, the way the venue was set up meant that those who got into the space spirit of it all and either partook in the pre-show art gallery and otherworldly-themed games (of which you could win raffle tickets) or, you know, actually went to the bar area and bought a drink, were pretty much guaranteed to be denied their concert-going right to sit in a space pod for the performance proper, being that they were then lumped at the back of the line to be ferried downstairs for the main show. (Is it not an ancient rule of honorable gig promotion that you do not sell more tickets than you have space pods?) Anyone who paid $30 for a ticket on the basis of the night's promotion would probably be in the moral right if they were to ask for their money back. (Journalistic disclaimer thingy: The kind people at Ninja Tune allowed me to sit on the floor gratis.) It might seem churlish and overly curmudgeonly to complain about not getting to lounge against what was basically an oversized pillow, but this was billed as an "experience," not just a gig. A major part of that experience was the promise of offering fans something different from the stale show format—but the disorganized and potluck format of the evening slated that.
