This happened to me at a concert in Cincinnati once. Veil of Maya opened and played a great face melting hardcore set with thrashing and screaming and moshing, then Animals as Leaders came on and played the most autistic set I've ever seen. Every one of them looked like a music school postdoc just casually jamming, while the pit was still going and having a great time. At one point, the lead guitar Tosin notices some issue with the speakers, stops the music, goes up to the mic with the tiniest little mouse voice, and is like "I'm hearing an audio issue I can't play through, speak amongst yourselves while we get it fixed". Absolute banger of a show. I think of that every time I hear "talk amongst yourselves" now.
Ha, fun story. Is "most autistic set" supposed to be a compliment?
I don't know that I'd call it a compliment or an insult? It just was. It was unusual to see "a few dudes in short sleeve button ups and khakis who look like a mildly jamming dad band" keep the concert energy up after Veil of Maya played and performed a much more stereotypical hardcore set. They didn't speak to the crowd at all, other than the one interruption when the sound wasn't right. My comment may also have been influenced by the fact that I've watched some of his (Tosin Abasi) guitar tutorials on YouTube and it is exceedingly clear that he's working with a healthy dose of the tism. Calling it autistic wasn't meant as a compliment or an insult though, just a matter of fact neutral statement about the experience.
