Young Hunting, Ex-Detectives, and The Black Apples at the Echo Curio, 9/29/10

Ex-Detectives

Articulation

Of thoughtful doubt with weight in

All the right places

Young Hunting

A true, lush pleasure

To watch them unfold and stretch

Into blue anthems.

The Black Apples

Reckless abandon

Stimulates X chromosomes

Most salaciously.

Sun Araw and Oneotrix Point Never at the Echo, 9/28/10

Sun Araw

Their tropical blues

Infused with a splash of the

Euro dance shimmy

Oneotrix Point Never

Say the night sky gave

Each star a voice and reason

To argue their point.

Nite Jewel with Teen Inc. and Heart-Shaped Rock at the Troubadour, 9/02/10

Heart-Shaped Rock

Goth Cyndi Lauper
Fronting Depeche Mode during
R.E.M.'s nineties

Teen Inc.

Surreality.
Their creation seems other-
Worldly, brilliant.

Nite Jewel

The crystal clean of
Song craft fought its way through the
Muddied old sound board.

SFVacid at the Weltenbuerger Art Space, 8/27/10

Exhilarating
Like a sporting event, with each
Point scored to the beat.
