Another crew of NY hipsters U-A-I, I'm sure I mangled the spelling. Three piece outfit with guitar, female keys/vocals/synth, and another keyboardist (Prophet and Moog). Trippy, indie pop with loops and effects. Female singer processed her vocals so that it sounded like Rick Wakeman trapped in a port-o-let with the lollipop kids. Decent song structure, the woman sounded better with un-processed vocals.
Pavo Pavo had two members of the Yalie folk trio Plume Giant that was reviewed in this blog several years ago. Plume Giant had a memorable sound of two guys and a girl vocal harmony with fiddle and literate songwriting. Pavo Pavo was a quartet with bass, rhythm guitar, and the ex-PG members on guitar/vocals and keys/vocals. PP relied on pedals and effects in contrast with PG that focused on vocals and clever songwriting. While I enjoyed the set, I kept thinking of the older incarnation of this group. Crowd was a who's who of New Haven music scenesters.
