While Emancipator Ensemble was technically headlining this show, it was Odesza that put this show on my map. I did my research and was prepared for a great show by all the bands on this night. For me, it was also a fun night to have a great group of friends with me. We basically missed Real Magic opening, as we were having a blast in the bar just checking out and interacting with the interesting attendees to this performance. I did peel away finally to catch Odesza and they sounded great. Not quite the full-on dance show I was expecting, but there was definitely a groove to enjoy and dance to. Here’s a clip:
What surprised me about Emancipator were all the traditional instruments on stage! These guys also didn’t have any staged vocal microphones - at all. They did have one handheld for the occasional communique. But if you’re in the right headspace, they put out a great vibe. Did I mention this show had hoola hoopers as well??
All said & done, there was dancing this night, which is all I was really hoping for.
