Ah, night 2 of the Halifax Pop Explosion. I was off to Gus' Pub last night, now this was a helluva time! When I walked in & the first band, Windom Earle, were just wearing boxers and singing about Fruit of the Loom, I knew this would be fun...... and of course it was!
They had lots of great jams to jump & dance to, breaking out Saxes, weird keyboard synths and jumping into the crowd to sing along with the crowd when they're all chanting "Fruit of the Loom! Fruit of the Loom!" But at one point, they had to slow things down a little, bust out a piano hook and start a big sing along to "Can You Feel the Love Tonight" from the Lion King Soundtrack. Here's a little video of that amazing surprise.
Next up was The Terror Pigeon Dance Revolt! The name says it all, lots of dancing & crazy props for the crowd to dig like inflatable birds/snowmen, a train of people wearing blazers tied together with X-Mas lights and lots of other craziness. These guys were from Tennessee and they know how to party!
Last up for the night was Born Gold. Pumpin' electronica beats, vocoder vocal effects & spaztic light show, awesome way to end the night! Gus' had cleared away most of their tables so there was a lot of room to rock/dance & the crowd took full advantage of that particularly during this set.
What's great about HPX is you can experience so many different styles of music, sometimes all in one place! I can't wait to see what tonight brings..... or where I end up haha!
