The evening started off as usual, when Thurston Moore Or Sonic Youth are concerned, decent que’s and anticipating devotee’s tend to be the norm. The first artist to the Stage was Paul Labrecque of Sunburned Hand Of the Man performing solo as Head of Wantastiquet, his sound was instrumentally very emotional, a score with eastern influences dare I say even mildly religious in its feel which shaped it into a very reflective experience, the heavy rhythmic drone of the guitar interweaved with intricate notes and melodic chant, came together form an altogether enchanting and reflective almost meditative audio experience.

The next act to grace the stage was Tall Firs a much more classic acoustic rock band made up of Dave and Aaron both on guitar, although briefly accompanied by John Moloney on the drums, as it was my first time seeing Tall Firs perform I was filled with anticipation and curiosity and as to be expected they put on fully enjoyable performance, their material was original and well written. Their performance and music really connected with the audience through subject matter and emotion their genuine demeanour really compounded this to the point whereby it felt at times it was a much more intimate gig than it actually was.

On to the Main Thurston Moore performing Psychic Hearts although the album was released prior to my Indy appreciation years, the music was quintessentially Thurston, Sonic-esque in its ingredients full of energy, guitars rifts but add to that a violin, and a harp coupled with Thurston’s wordplay and you have a really good album. We so thoroughly enjoyed the performance, the material and the atmosphere and judging by the reactions of the audience we were not alone in our sentiment, definitely an experiencing and an album that we at creative happen will be revisiting and adding to our collection. Overall a night that warrant's two thumbs up! Smiles all round.
