Saw Expatriate at the Absolut Cut Bar last night. The place was packed to the gills with trendies and people complaining about all the trendies. Regardless Expatriate put on a great show. I think these guys have what it takes to break out for some more mainstream and overseas success. They’ve got a great bass and synth driven sound and a singer with agitated conviction. It’s the fashionable sound right now but these guys pull it off without pretense.
I think it was the bright lighting that meant that the trendies saw each other and realised that there were just trendies. After a while, most of them (us?) seemed to give up and start talking to each other. That bar is such an interesting social experiment…
the majority of folks there last night were more than just trendies man. they were cyborgs. half man, half channel ten.
gross.
