Matt & Kim, Flosstradamus & Team Robespierre @ Pier 54 in NYC - pics

July 10, 2009

“Last night a whole lot of music fans packed themselves onto Pier 54 for the first concert in the Hudson River Park’s RiverRocks concert series. The show featured three performances (wait, can I call a DJ set a performance? ok, fine I guess so). First up was Team Robespierre, a punk band from Brooklyn. They seemed a little off, but at least they were singing…which leads me to the next group Flosstradamus, a pair of DJs. The music was good, but it wasn’t the right time or place for a DJ set. The pier was completely flat, so odds were that your experience at that point involved a dance-track backed view of the sunset. It wasn’t much of a dance party where I was standing, half-way down the pier, but maybe they were appreciating the music up front. When Matt and Kim took the stage there were joined by two giant screens, which were used to project close-ups of the musicians as well as some animated patterns.” [Second Doubles]

Flosstradamus play again tonight/Friday at Studio B. More pictures from last night’s show at the pier, below…
