This Friday’s Making Time should be renamed ‘Taking Drugs To Make Music to Take Drugs To”. In addition to their solid resident djs, the party will feature two of the most talked about bands of late ‘09 and early ‘10.
Memory Tapes‘ prog disco pop album Seek Magic was one of my favorites of ‘09 and I am eagerly awaiting his Philly live debut (It was originally slated to be at The Church, but it was canceled.) He will be accompanied by a full band made up of ex-members of his now defunct Philly band Hail Social.
Neon Indian has been picking up a lot of buzz of the past few months as well. (Questlove of The Roots recently raved about his Fallon performance). His music kicked off what some industry folk are now calling “glo-fi” (meh), which now includes similar artists such as Washed Out and Toro Y Moi, it’s essentially trippy electronic pop that sounds like it was made on busted analogue synths. While I think they have a few really cool tunes, unlike Memory Tapes, I think this band is a flash in the pan…but I could be wrong. Head to the party and decide for yourself.
