BLASTING AWAY THE LIGHTS
My main reason for going to Underground Arts that night was to see Instamatic. A few bands after Hot Guts played, Instamatic was the headliner.
I had seen Instamatic live only once before, and that was last Winter when I went with David and Pat to see them play at Milkboy. David had already been a fan for years, and I quickly saw why he liked them. They immediately became one of my favorites as well.
The band blasts away song after song with their four huge electronic consoles. The thing that I like about the band is its power and thrust without any sacrifice in the area of melodic lines. Indeed the melodic lines offer much more intrigue, intelligence, and interest than some other bands whose vehicle is less intense.
The band was in its true form on Thursday night. They had played only a few songs when they blew out a circuit breaker or fuse or whatever they have at Underground Arts, and lights and music went out!
The electric situation was fixed and they played some more, only for the same thing to happen a second time. Ha! That's intensity!
My only complaint about the show was that it was too short!
An example of one of their songs is "Architecture", the lead track on their 2011 album, "Turning Into Straight Lines". Here it is, played by Philly band, "Instamatic" :::
