Tobacco, Small Black, Washed Out, The Hood Internet, Pictureplane@ Holocene

Last night the Holocene held a lineup which is in high demand right now. First on deck was Washed Out, who is quickly becoming a heavyweight in the unnameable 'chillwave' or 'glo-fi' scene. This man knows his way around a synthesizer. Pictureplane was a definite crowd pleaser who laid out some really unique sounds. Each song was a new flavor for the ears. The beats were accompanied by a trio of stage dancers who not only were dressed like they were ready for Burning Man, but kept the crowd going with some sweet 3-way dance moves. After a stage change, Small Black put on a great show. The 4 piece group started off right with some dreamy keyboards and vocals. It sounded like Tokyo Police Club on ritalin with a glo-fi twinge.

Next up was the Cali duo Tobacco. The mix of beats and trip hop thumping bass mixed seamlessly with their visuals. A large video monitor displayed clips so non-sequitur it boggled the mind. A live ChatRoulette projection also added a little bit of spice/male nudity to the Gorilla-masked front man Tom Fec. Rockin' the house comes naturally for the man behind such crazy-minded projects like Black Moth Super Rainbow.

Everything wrapped up with mash-up champs: The Hood Internet. When you put on a set that combines indie goodness from Glass Candy, Passion Pit and Little Boots with the ghetto fab of Juvenile, Weezy and Gucci, its hard not to set a dance floor off. Be sure to catch these artists again, because the place was so crackin' it could have changed that sourpuss Garfield's mind about Mondays.

There's a whole slew of mp3s after the jumpbreak from these artists, slurp em up
