!!! (as part of Via Festival)
Lawrenceville Moose; Oct 3
This concert was seriously excellent beyond belief. We drove crazily over here from a different concert and managed to get inside after a ticket snafu in time to hear Dominique Young Unique, a young female rapper from Florida who was wearing an epic spandex bodysuit. Her spitfire performance was a cross between Nicki Minaj and Rye Rye. Needless to say I want to be her.
It took !!! seriously like 30 minutes to do soundcheck, but it ended up being worth it. Singer/frontman Nic Offer brought so much (sometimes-terrifying) energy. If the man tells you to clap, you fucking clap. We weren't really expecting all of the pelvic gyrations that occurred, but whatever. Offer frequently jumped off the stage into the huge dance party to join everyone and my friend ended up grinding with him. Everyone freaked out when they played "Me and Giuliani Down by the Schoolyard". The band (seven people?!?) played their hearts out and at the end of a sweaty hour I didn't want !!! to stop. This band is MUST-SEE live- I liked their newest album Strange Weather, Isn't It? but seeing the songs live brought the music to a whole fucking new level.
