Gem Saloon, 5:40pm June 2nd

Tweet: He came, he was seen above ground, he brought some beats.



What Happened: The unwieldy moniker is a mask for one man, his drum kit, assorted percussion and laptop of ideas. From this he proceeds to create a slew of danceable funk and beats, with the odd bit of vocals for good measure. At times it recalls some kind of forgotten 1970s film soundtracks, just dripping hooks and funk. There are limitations to what we see though, due to the restrictions of the form and what one man can do while stuck behind a kit.



Pro: 'Stop Doing If Your Heart Aint In It' is excellent driving funk-dance, and the sight of a bag covering a snare which is being played is one of the more bizarre things of the weekend.



Con: The crowd, although appreciative, is small in number and must be disheartening.
