If their recent soldout show at Londons Jazz Caf is any indication, there is clearly an audience for what could seem like a totally random idea for a band.

Released 13 years ago, Endtroducing was created almost entirely from samples. It is melancholy dark funky and jazzy, and it shifts sometimes smoothly sometimes notfrom hip hop to electro to jungle to breakbeat. Island Records rereleased the album in 2005, and in 2006 Time magazine named it one of the best 100 albums of all time. The albums raw eeriebutfunky style even spawned some short interpretive films.

Witnessing Introducing perform the album is like watching a film with a fan who knows every single line, you cant imagine why they would want to watch it again, but they do and they relish in their ability to recite all the dialogue. The band's commitment to the album is impressive and fun to watch. Mike Reed's ability to duplicate the albums specific aggressive funky drum beats is truly impressive. Andy Leungs keyboard mimicry is immaculate, and the turntable scratching is spoton.

But the live interpretation comes dangerously close to stripping the album of its darkness its weirdness and its coolness Halfway through the set I started wondering why everyone was so excited to listen to a simulacrum of the real thing which itself was an amalgam of found sounds I half expected the band to go the karaoke route and invite members of the audience up to sing along to the vocals they didnt The bands show is dedicated to nostalgia to savouring a moment that was very cool when it happened But as a result the show feels trapped Doesnt playing the same set every gig get old

Why not try playing DJ Shadows Hyphy album live Better yet pack your set with songs from all of his albums Change the band name to DJ Shadows Shadow and be the hippest tribute band on the circuit
