The Prodigy
Back to the Beat Gig Guide
The name of The Prodigy's new self-produced label kind of gives it away, but for those not keen on the details, it takes about 23 seconds on stage for these guys to kick in and send you straight to hospital. Heroes of the 1990's crossover rave scene (that's original rave, not Klaxons/Modular rave), The Prodigy represent one of the few nostalgia acts who can actually keep their own. More than a flashback to the heyday of British hard-dance, The Prodigy embody the energy injection that young gig-goers so desperately need. Between the maniacal, Keith Flint, these days looking like a cross between Johnny Rotten and the Joker, the ominous, wrestler-like, Maxim, and mastermind, Liam Flint, this outfit have been to hell and back, but still know how to blow their share of speakers.
With their seminal albums, Music For The Jilted Generation and The Fat of the Land, The Prodigy redefined what a successful dance act could do. More an industrial rock show than a dance act, and recently known to include four extra session musicians, The Prodigy specialize in havoc in the way only Englishmen can. Fans will attest, there's nothing quite as special as going mental to Breathe, Break and Enter and Smack My Bitch Up, as performed by its original composers. When they were last here for Big Day Out, Prodigy fans were locked out of the Boiler Room (of the Big Day Out) due to excessive numbers. Anticipate this tour to be just as frenetic.
