I couldn't have been happier that this Twin Shadow show was on the Sunday night of MLK weekend. Perfect. Because of that, I paid even closer attention to the album, knowing I was able to stay up and really enjoy the music without concerns of work the next day.
Cleveland's own Clovers opened the show and they we good! I was perched at the bar, not quite ready to start documenting the show, but by the time they were done I was sad I didn't. They had a nice clean sound. I want to hear more from these guys. BRAHMS were up next, and while they don't have an album out, I've been liking what little I could find on the internet. Later on, I found out they are led by Cale Parks, who was also part of Aloha (w/ a Cleveland connection). Even Stereogum is saying this is a band to watch.
At this point, it was clear this night was going to be a dance party. The retro-flair of this bass induced eletro pop continued with Twin Shadow. I'll admit their album didn't strike me right away (like it did many, many others). But once I broke the seal, I was sold. These guys were everything I was hoping for.
As you can see, I'm still learning the camera. Though, back to the iPhone for video:
