Feed Me ditches the teeth, plays an intimate set at Pacha NYC
Last Sunday, the man behind the teeth, Jon Gooch, made his first ever appearance in the hallowed halls of Pacha NYC - joining the nearly endless list of talent that have blown out the speakers at New York's largest club. Despite the Sunday night timeslot and his 1am start time, Pacha's main dance floor was packed to the brim with die-hard bassheads eager to get their dose of Feed Me's signature guttural groans and wobbles. The club, as is to be expected on a Sunday night, was decidedly less hectic than Friday or Saturday, allowing for true fans to force their way front and center - this was a crowd who had come to Pacha with a unified purpose. The lack of his snarling LCD teeth only served to increase Jon's energetic presence behind the decks - he jumped and thrashed haphazardly, swigging drinks and engaging the crowd as they mirrored his excitement. After over two hours of a seemingly endless barrage of bone rattling bass Pacha gave Jon the go ahead to continue playing, re-igniting the packed dance floor as they stomped and flailed until nearly 4am.
