Kraftwerk @ The Electric Factory.

German electronic music band Kraftwerk has helped shape the world of music as we know it. Kraftwerk started out in the 70s and they continue to perform their electronic, minimalistic music around the world.

As crowds of people piled into the Electric Factory last week, they were given Kraftwerk 3D glasses for the sold out show. When the curtains opened and the show commenced, the four men stood behind podiums, ready to shock the house. With visuals of moving trains and matrix-like numbers behind them, their robotic performance mesmerized and visually sedated the crowd.
