Opener Child Actor was billed as a local electronica duo with one member studying with Anthony Braxton at Wesleyan Univ. They also were purported to be pals with the local hip hop presence Ceschi. These notes attracted me to this show. Unfortunately, synthy shoegaze dreampop highlighting the female breathy vocals was what materialized. Child Actor may have talent, but they found it difficult to pull off live.
Black Light Dinner Party from NYC were more polished. Their sound was like Grizzly Bear with high range vocals and washes of sound. Keyboards, drum, bass, and guitar-vocals. Tight songs with thoughtful lyrics look promising for BLDP.
