After leaving the Generationals / Ra Ra Riot show early, we headed over to The Happy Dog for the Parallels show. Expecting to miss the openers, we actually caught the Gossip Culture performance. While the vocals were a little weak, the music was quite good! I'd love to see a little more polish on these NEO guys.
I was pretty excited to see Parallels, particularly with a Crystal Castles connection (however faint it may be). But this show surpassed all my predictions. This was dance, pop electronica at its best. Each song kept you groovin' and some were even up front dancing (which is where I really should have been.) And this wasn't an all electronica show... the drums brought in a refreshing live element.
One of my all-time favorite dance / electronica concert performances was The Hundred in the Hands performance at the Grog Shop. This rivaled that experience. If in part by just see this type of performance at a place like the Happy Dog.
Here's a little video clip from my friend Larry.
