I seem to recall Child Actor being a "local" duo. Nice guy/girl harmonies and use of synths ( and synth percussion). The accent on the female in the group was decidedly not local.
Dustin Wong had at least 10 looping pedals for his well-worn guitar. At one point, he had to stop and rearrange pedal order so as not to get confused. Looped guitar parts created moody or pop backdrops for the final song crescendo. I am always amazed at the linear thinking that must accompany a solitary looper. A competent guitarist, Wong was able to sound like five people on stage. A Stanley Jordanesque two handed slap technique ended one song, while a wordless vocal ended another. Wong is definitely original in his delivery.
