May 19 : "TweedMode Show - Silk City - 2015 02 04" - BlendMode (Philly)

Philly Music!

Sometimes the music is very much in sync with what's going on in life. Such was the case a few weeks ago when I saw live for the first time Philly band "BlendMode". They did a nice show at North Star.

I've been busy communting, spending a lot of time on the train. In fact, I went to see BlendMode after working a day up in North Jersey. When I went in to North Star and started to listen to them play, it seemed to fit right in with the rest of the day and almost be a continuation of the most recent event, my train ride back from North Jersey. Each piece was long and had a continuous fast steady rhythm. There were very few breaks in tempo. And the pictures and scenes going by were the sounds of the other instruments that would seemingly appear out of nowhere and "blend" in, playing a dozen or two bars over the rhythm and then recede. The rhythm would keep going steady and then some more short surprises from the other instruments would come in. The band is quite eclectic, melding or "blending" a bunch of genres. I never knew what was coming next.

My personal take was I felt like I was still traveling. I enjoyed the show and hope to see them again.

BlendMode has a limited amount of music posted on the internets. This is their one track from Soundcloud. It's "TweedMode Show - Silk City - 2015 02 04".
