The Satellite: Badtooth, Deaf Dance, Ever So Android, GLAARE

This night was about the lights. Okay, that's just what I focused on for some reason. Badtooth played under red lights. Deaf Dance played under the bright greens and blues that The Satellite stage is known for. Ever So Android brought their own strobe lights, which made photography all about timing of the click. GLAARE attempted to use strobe lights, but they had mechanical issues and so asked for stage lights. As for GLAARE, their guitarist was having problems throughout the set due to the low lights. I could hear her begging for the stage lights, but her band mates couldn't hear her and so didn't inform the light guy to turn on the stage lights earlier in the set. At one point, she was down on her knees trying to figure out what buttons/pedals to push. I was feeling really bad for her.

Badtooth brought some shoegaze sounds. Dressed in black and under the red lights, they set up a gloomy atmosphere. Gloomy, but thrilling.

Deaf Dance had me thinking this one thought throughout the set: we have MacGyver (original) on guitars teaming up with a Goth Vampire playing keys and dancing on stage. I'm not going to lie, I found the dancing on stage weirdly robotic and fascinating.

This is my third time catching Ever So Android as a full band. Their punk sounds are fuller now, but that doesn't mean that lead singer Hope isn't still doing her onstage performances. One moment, she's doing a curtsy and the next she's pulling up her dress to flash her undergarments. It's like the ballerina that pops out of the music box going adult.

Ever So Android
Closing out the night was GLAARE. This was my first times seeing the band. Yet, some of the members of the band looked so familiar. Perhaps I've run across them in the scene. Hair flings and dark wave sounds drive this band. As mentioned above, they had to deal with some obstacles, but I'm more than wanting to catch this band again.
