Stepdad (4/28/13)

I've been following Stepdad since their first Ordinaire EP.  Their Wildlife Pop release I liked even more. Quirky, poppy, and from Michigan - I didn't think it could get any better.  Throw in a new (to me) venue, and I was sold on this show - despite it being a Sunday night.

Walking in I was instantly impressed with The Foundry - and was shocked that I had not been in this space before. Great layout and atmosphere.

We caught Cleveland's own Pipe Dream opening, to which I was thinking (and someone even tweeted) that One Direction was in the house.  A gaggle of young, good looking young men on stage playing some emotional rock, ala Foster the People and the Shins.  meh.  They're just so young!

Stepdad was next.  We were instantly confronted with problem with this performance… the vocals.  As much as I enjoy Stepdad recorded, I realized that live… not so much.  Granted I think this was the last date of their tour, but come on boys.  It was rough…  Definitely some room for improvement, and if they get that down - they'll be a force on stage.
