This pathologically late reviewer missed their set but their last 40 seconds were awesome. Considering how the rest of the night went, they clearly set everyone up for success. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">Then came Palm Sander from Toronto. Their sludgy melodic distorted sound was sometimes a bit overcomplicated. They sounded a bit like Dead Moon and Nick Cave back in The Birthday Party days but with an added level of distortion and glamour. I\u2019ve never seen anyone drum with the power and grace that their drummer did. I thought they were going to go hammer straight through their drum set. I\u2019ve never seen anyone decide that they weren\u2019t getting enough leverage from being seated and decide to stand up to really propel their drumming. I\u2019ve also never seen anyone dismantle the symbols, remove them from the stand, and smash them together. There were a few times where there was so much going on that it felt messy but their lead singer was so captivating and they all had such incredible hair that all was forgiven.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<iframe style=\"border: 0; width: 350px; height: 588px;\" src=\"https:\/\/bandcamp.com\/EmbeddedPlayer\/album=331400412\/size=large\/bgcol=ffffff\/linkcol=0687f5\/transparent=true\/\" seamless><a href=\"https:\/\/palmsander.bandcamp.com\/album\/gallons\">gallons by Palm Sander<\/a><\/iframe>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\"><br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">The next set was Antenna \u201893. They played with the reckless abandon that comes with being a very new band. They had a more upbeat indie sound replacing the sexy sludge of Palm Sander with crispy riffs in almost a Her kind of way. They did have a few evident technical difficulties with pedals deciding to rebel and a guitar strap with a mind of its own, but they were having so much fun it was easy to ignore. They had their bassist in the middle which was a brilliant choice. Nothing against their two guitar players but the bassist and their drummer were not so carrying, but elevating the team.\u00a0<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">The singer could feel us paying attention to their drummer and their bassist over him and descended into chaos for the latter half of their set. His between-song banter ranged from, \u201cWho else is sweaty&#8221; to \u201cWho wants to get their organs harvested,\u201d with an eloquent call for a free Palestine somewhere in the middle. At one point he began screaming, holding up a magazine which was then very enthusiastically flung into the audience. Antenna \u201893\u2019s music was fun and sparkly, so it made sense that their live performance incorporated a significant amount of sparkle. They just need to find the balance of the antics highlighting their music and bringing energy to the crowd, which they certainly do, without feeling like a distraction from a not quite fully formed sound.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<iframe style=\"border: 0; width: 400px; height: 274px;\" src=\"https:\/\/bandcamp.com\/EmbeddedPlayer\/album=3208946765\/size=large\/bgcol=ffffff\/linkcol=0687f5\/artwork=small\/transparent=true\/\" seamless><a href=\"https:\/\/pressurepin.bandcamp.com\/album\/superficial-feature\">Superficial Feature by Pressure Pin<\/a><\/iframe>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\"><br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">Pressure Pin closed the show beautifully. After listening to their 2022 EP, <em>Superficial Feature<\/em>,<em> <\/em>a delightfully disorganized art-punk new wave sound assortment, I was expecting a similar amount of havoc that the previous two bands brought. But they were surprisingly calculated. They played their set almost entirely in sync. The bass line, drums, and guitar mirrored each other nearly perfectly. Playing live seems to have forced them away from the tumultuous sound assortment from their EP and the result was still weird but much more intelligible.\u00a0<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">Things really heated up when the bassist, Danny Pretzel\u2019s shoes fell apart and he had to do the rest of the set barefoot. Honestly, I would suggest the elimination of all shoes moving forward. Their curated look added to the performance. The full suits and bolo tie were seemingly incongruent with how new and urgent their sound was. For people who looked like they had wandered out of the 70s, their music reflected something fresh. It\u2019s always a little bit heartbreaking when a band just absolutely crushes a cover. They played an incredible rendition of \u201cI Was a Teenage Werewolf\u201d that worked so perfectly with the rest of their set and everyone loved it, almost too much. But if they continue on the path they\u2019re on, pretty soon people will be flailing as emphatically to their music the way we all did to The Cramps. Any second now.\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The night began with Held. This pathologically late reviewer missed their set but their last 40 seconds were awesome.
