Quarantine Online Sets: Version 17

Los Angeleno provides some great Friday night entertainment. The bands and artists playing put on pre-recorded sets that appear to last between 8 and 15 minutes. The sets are featured both on Instagram and Facebook. I have to admit that I do prefer sets shown on Facebook. I enjoy the horizontal presentation of Facebook versus the vertical presentation of Instagram. Both can have technical glitches when doing live streams, which isn't a problem for Los Angeleno so it really is a preference of presentation for me. This is coming from a person who posts photos only on Instagram.

This particular Friday night started off with Soft Sailors. Their set had a fun feel to it. The set started off with one member of the band in his living room. He got a call from his other two band mates and off they went. It was a great scripted 8 minutes that also included some screen in screen shots, a couple guests and a pet dog.

Devon Williams had me thinking of 80s icon Robert Palmer. I'd love to see a live set with a full band to see if that assumption rings true.

Egg Drop Soup has been playing across the Internet during this lock down. This time around they broke the social distancing rule and all 3 members of the band were together to play their set. There was also a person doing the camera work who did a really good job of giving the audience the feel of the band's attitude. There were quick zooms in and out that matched up with the band's beats.

Closing out the night was Pearl Charles. That set was some country swoon. While watching the set, the kids in my apartment complex were having fun outside. I couldn't help but imagine that they were dancing to the music coming from my apartment (though in truth they couldn't hear the music).
