WE’RE NOT SAYING that a good rubdown gives you an energy boost, but apparently part of what puts the live-wire spunk in concerts by British hardcore rave-rock outfit the Prodigy is the fact that they always have a massage before their gigs. The trio – making their Bangkok debut with a much-anticipated show tonight at Bitec in Bang Na – actually tour with personal masseurs.
Bringing masseurs to Bangkok might seem like “hauling coals to Newcastle”, as the ancient expression goes (the English city is a coal-mining centre, you see), but if that’s what it takes to get a properly loud, head-banging, mega-energetic show out of these guys, bring ’em along!
The Prodigy flew into Suvarnabhumi Airport from Seoul yesterday afternoon, not on their usual private jet but on an airliner (first class, of course), ready for the last gig on their Asian tour. The fans were out in force to greet keyboardist-composer Liam Howlett and singers Keith Flint and Maxim.
Then the guys each rode in a separate Mercedes Benz S Class, with their personal masseurs, to a five-star-hotel on the Chao Phraya River, where they promptly tucked into some Thai food and commenced soaking up the culture.
They’re in a bit of a spot, though: How can they sample the marvels of the traditional Thai massage when they already have masseurs in their entourage, watching them protectively? We can only hope they can sneak off when their personal rub persons aren’t looking to rectify this gap in their cultural education.
