This Day In Mild: Enon at the Knitting Factory 12.07.2002 I barely remember any details about this show.  Not because I was raging, but because I am getting old. A few things that come to mind:  • I had a blast at this show. • This was the Knitting Factory 2.0, on Leonard Street (note the DOWNTOWN IS MORE THAN A ZIPCODE slogan on the bottom of the ticket).  • I remember showing up on time to this gig, because I am pretty sure Swearing At Motorists was on this bill as well.  I think it might have been just Dave Doughman sans drummer, but the thought of Swearing At Motorists and Enon playing the same bill, just a few blocks away from my office, stands out as being significant. • At that point in time, I was totally wrapped up in Enon’s “High Society.” Some colleagues of mine had just directed the video for “The City,” so advance MP3s were abound, and I got hooked.  I still think it’s Enon’s masterpiece.  Perfect blend of meaty riffs, electro beats, sweet harmonies, and amazing hooks all processed through John Schmersal’s psych-bent swagger. Solid listen from start to finish. • The show was equally as satisfying.  The crowd was teleported to another dimension by the synth-heavy scenics of Bloodthirsty Lovers, and then we had a big ole dance party when Enon took the stage, and there was lots of sweating to be had.   • I am pretty sure I went with my buds Ryan and Blake, and I am pretty sure that Blake left early, which is his calling card. I also recall Ryan picking up a Bloodthirsty Lovers EP at the show, which might have been a self release that is no longer available. I think I spent any money on frosty libations. • $8.00 well spent.
