Particle Kid -Micah Nelson, Tony Peluso (drums) and Aroyn Davis (Bass) opened the set with Radio Flyer and it was a shot of adrenaline to the full house at the Ivy Room. High energy, creative, brilliant compilation of original songs : Backwards, Myssus Crow, Hollyweird, Little Fish (Deep Pond), Really Big Fan, Pyramid Song, Magic Mirror, Still Going, Question Song, Dreamer and ending with Everything Is Bullshit – each song a work of art. A moving tribute to David Roback of Mazzy Star Fade Into You and they unleased a fury guitar-bass duel with Neil Young cover of Piece of Crap. The whole show was commanded by Sister Lu’s video graphics collection of original art, photographs and image montage that was super cool, interesting and intelligent.
The trio plays together like a well-oiled engine…being on the ride with them is fast, slow, loud, crashing and the best feeling of being lost – yet we all arrived in the station in tack! This is a musical experience not to be missed. If you haven’t yet seen Particle Kid – go, go now! New CDs available Particlekid.com. Definitely show of the year.
