Remy Vega and Brittney Chantele - They were really good. Two separate artists who have collaborated on music recently. Vega is a DJ and producer and rapper, Chantele is a singer rapper mix pretty much. They were really good. Vega did some freestyling taking words yelled from the crowd. That was especially good. Chantele's songs were real chill, and socially aware. I enjoyed the set.
The Slims - This started out strong, ended weak as can be. First there were three dudes on stage. One guy playing bass, one rapper, and one dude with a guitar and some sort of effects table slash keyboard thing. The first song was good with all three dudes. Chill garage rock rap low key king of vibe. Then the bass player left stage. I guess he was just a friend and they were playing their shit together. Then the rapper and guitar dude did a few songs. These were good too. Not as good as the first jam though. Then the rapper left the stage. It went way downhill from here. Turned into shitty guitar rock songs dedicated to dude's mother and girlfriend and shit. Good thing the hockey game was on in the next room.
McLovins - Just awful. They're a soft rock band. They didn't make any sense on the show. Did they win a battle of the bands or something? Wasn't into that at all. Again, hockey game and beer.
Flobots - Killer show. Both rappers have really nice and different voices. The old songs are good, the new ones are good. Killed it. The lady playing the fiddle is really what makes their live show. She's really good and very entertaining. I hate the one new song though, Quarantine. It's like they turn into some shit stadium rock band for the chorus. Either way, they were very very good. I should have seen them by now, really.
Hi's - Flobots, Vega and Chantele, the Rex
Low's - Who put together this lineup? Pittsburgh surely has better rap and rock options for such a show.
