Friday night means catching short 8 to 15 minute pre-recorded sets on Los Angeleno's Facebook page.
Opening things up was
Stilljill. Stilljill is a 3 member band, but for this night it was only one individual from the band, Alex. The set was less than 6 minutes long. It was set outside with just an amp and electric guitar. The outcome was some blues like riffs.

Next up was
Omoghéné. First thing I noticed was the minimalism of her living room. The walls and couch were white. There was a picture frame and a mounted television. With the use of a backing track, she sang some nice pop tunes.
The Great Sadness is one of those bands I've followed for a period of time. Their set was spent screaming wickedly to the heavens and slamming out pulsating drum beats. They played in a studio that had a vague familiarity to me. I'm not saying I've been to their location, but it is a similar design to small venues I've gone to in the pass.

Talk 2 Strangers most definitely had the most extravagant set. Talk 2 Strangers has a classic voice with a very artistic presentation. The voice and presentation seemed to be at odds with each other. The artistic presentation included frills around her head and as a backdrop along with exaggerated theater make-up. That to me would indicate someone who would present a more modernistic style of vocals. Yet, if one closed their eyes, one would hear power pop tunes. Her comment of the set, "Building a community . . . . making Los Angeles a little bit more lovely."

Closing out the night was punk band
Rituals of Mine. Their video had their name in bold white lettering at the top and bottom. The bold lettering along with the split second introduction of additional lettering gave off a very futuristic scifi vibe to the set. The two members of the band were shown on two monitors, one for each. As the set ended, an apology to their neighbors was made.
