WFNM may be shifting gears to pre-recorded performances. It does provide for better performances, but it also eliminates the possibility of amusing technical errors. For example, a few weeks back, one band was playing in a living room and the fire alarm started blasting in the middle of the set, which resulted in band members trying to clear the smoke from the house so that the alarm would turn off.
Anyways, on this night Baker Grace started it off with some subtle pop dance tunes. Her choreographed danced moves were smooth and slow, matching nicely with her soft vocals. She had a full band in place and the video was a nice mix of music videos that spliced in with the recorded performance. It did feel like one was watching a full music video.

The K's appears to be a four piece band, but only two played this particular set. I say, what must they sound as a full band, because I was already stunned by their sound? The music was so beautiful with just two members of the band. The piano playing was amazing. The vocals brought the emotions. Perfection.

Alice Pisano played in a room full of books. It had me thinking of movies from the 1930s/1940s where at some point in the movie there is a scene in a mansion's room that is dedicated to the home library. Back to her set and the room she was in, there was even the ladder on wheels that allows you to get to the top shelves. The camera angle of the recording allowed you to focus in on her hands as she played the keys. She wore a butterfly sweater and her music had lyrics such as, "Tears will set you free."

Closing out the night was Charming Liars. Now their set was most like watching WFNM on Instagram Live. The video looked like it was recorded via a smart phone just based on how the Youtube video was presented. In the middle was a thin rectangular performance with the sides in black block. Their set was southern country rock that involved vocals that howled.
