Communist Daughter were a hipster outfit from the Minneapolis/St. Paul area. Lead guitar/ vocals, bass, drums, keys/ multi-instrumentalist, and a female vocalist made up the quintet. Indie pop with nice guy-girl harmony vocals. The multi-instrumentalist had a xylophone that was poorly mic'd so that it appeared like air-xylophone. Chatted with the bassist who said the next gig was The Music Hall of Williamsburg.
Headliner The Dig was a synth pop quartet that reminded me of a cross between Deer Tick and Hot Chip (maybe Deer Chip and Hot Tick). The front man singer even had the same psychotic gleam in his eye like the Deer Tick singer. Pop songs started slow and ebbed and swelled with dueling falsetto vocals. This band is better appreciated live.
