Olio

It was a strange collection of bands at the Mod Club on Saturday. I'm guessing this had to do with the booker. Featurette was a 2-person crew doing 4-on-the-floor dance music. They tried to change things up with eclectic drum patterns and odd lyrics. Unfortunately, the backing tracks were too loud resulting in a set that wasn't subtle. Raven Shields, slender in a wide-collar suit, brought some intriguing androgyny to her mix of country/Americana set. But it was her bluesy Badlands that packed the most punch. Though headliner Paper Lions is known for their high-energy show, I couldn't stay.
