The night started with Sunbears!, a peppy two-guy duo out of Jacksonville, Florida who used lots of lights, balloons, confetti, and even a huge bubble they floated above the crowd, a la Flaming Lips. Hadn't heard about them before but enjoyed their set. They're off to Houston tonight, then Atlanta before they head back to their home state.
Black Kids followed with a rockin' set that ended with "I'm Not Gonna Teach Your Boyfriend How To Dance With You". Click on the link to stream the song at RCRDLBL.com.
Finally, the painfully adorable Mates of State finished out the night. Clearly, they make their marriage work because all of their therapy happens via song, in front of crowds of strangers every night. It's the recipe we should all be so lucky to follow. Great set covering most of their well-known songs with a 3-song encore. The last show of their tour is with Sunbears! and Black Kids in Houston tonight so go check it out if you can!
Here's a Black Kids/Mates of State mash-up by DJA of Mad Decent for your listening pleasure. Enjoy!
