the hi god people are pretty random, i have their second album which is quite like the syr stuff, but what they did at the show was alot different, i'm figuring the are more of a performance art group
as far as SY's mix goes, here are my thoughts:
I thought the choice of an M88 for Kims vocals wasn't so great, they are less sensitive than an sm58 and more responsive on male voices - traditionally a kick drum mic, and if you look at soniclove's photos there is the same mic on steve's kick.
The beta57a on Thurston's vocal was a good idea but needed eq'ing a bit better, 8khz was cutting through too much on the sibilant sounds for my liking.
There was generally to much sub in the mix which really made it muddy and decreased the amount of clarity.
I didn't like how Steve's kit sounded it was complete mud most of the time and I found it really hard to hear any of the space which he leaves between notes. The 414's for overheads could have been closer to help this.
Apart from that the engineer did a great job because that is one sucky sounding room in the palace. Gig should have been at the forum.
