Cyberina Flux (KNON 89.3 FM) - January 16, 2005 (Show Review)

Last night was Lthrboots' first live show, and if this is where he's starting out I'm really interested to see where he's going to go. He has a combination of attitude, inspiration, drive, and attentiveness to detail that stands the chance of taking him quite far.

He's a one-man Industrial act. Primarily EBM, with slight occasional touches of synthpop. He had two racks setup on stage - a electronic drum pad, and a keyboard stand. Being only one key, you'd see him alternate between the two instruments depending on the track. For his faster, stompier, and dancier tracks he'd be over on the drum pad. Skinny, bald guy with kneepads, and these rather garrishly large drum sticks putting his whole body into whacking the pads on his drum kit while singing. Reminded me of a Nitzer Ebb show I saw in 1989, in a very good way. The slower tracks found him over by the keyboards playing melodies, and singing.

Very good stage presence. But his live mix was also more than expected for someone's first show.

I've seen a whole hell of a lot of industrial artists live. A fair percentage of them are amazing bands in the studio, but really just don't live up to the intensity of their recordings live. They've been working for years, but they get on stage and there's just no "show" to it, or their live sound was just so bad that you felt sorry for them. Most Industrial bands seem to start out that way with their shows, and then occasionally you'll find one that never grows out of it. Lthrboots, however, started out last night with a rather impressive live show. I'm very curious to see how his show will be after he's had a year of playing out underneath his belt.

IMG Music Promotions - January 10, 2004 (CD Review)

“Although some of Lthrboots’ material/subject matter is questionable, there is no denying this artist’s talent, ability, and persuasiveness for drawing in the listener with haunting melodies, a unique/strong performance, and unusual lyrical content. Well-produced videos on website.”
