Local art rockers Rudeyna are an interesting crew of scenesters blending pop, prog, and performance art for a heady blend of jams. Keys, guitar, bass, drums, and a Lebanese female singer. This group loves the stop-start time jumps of Zappa, with the frontwoman offering glimpses of Diamanda Galas. The complex tunes had the singer frantically jumping from lyrics to screeching to a beautiful hippie orgasmo-scat. High energy songs buoyed by an excellent rhythm section were a treat.
Walker Lukens was a nerdy white-boy soul singer from Austin TX. His group, the Side-arms were an indie leaning outfit that was a perfect backdrop for his neo-soul. WL danced around (in white sport coat) as if he was just signed to Motown. Good selection of original numbers showed flares of doo-wop and hiphop. Keys, bass, guitar, drums, with WL on keys, acoustic, and dancing.
