Summer Twins Review: A Dreamy Dance Party

Kicking off Valentine’s Day weekend with great music is not a bad way to dive into the holiday, for couples and singles alike. This last Friday, February 12, Summer Twins performed at Acerogami, Pomona, CA, joined by Veronica Bianqui. The entire event had a drinks-with-friends vibe, framed by the venue’s exposed brick, low lighting, projected music videos, and a few heart-shaped balloons at the stage. The beauty of smaller venues is the level of comfort they create. Conversation before and after the show flowed easily, from excitement about the performers to stray cats and operatic voicemails.
The flyer advertised the event as an indie rock dance party, and it hit the mark. The tranquil venue created a cool backdrop to a fun night. I found myself watching a guy in pink suspenders and matching bowtie dance the night away, joining the crowd in swaying along to the mellow rhythms of both performers, and grinning at the dancing that happened on-stage.

I recommend that anybody and everybody reading this review go to her SoundCloud right now and check her out. Her song “If Love’s a Gun, I’m Better Off Dead” is amazing both live and recorded. There was just something so perfect about the juxtaposition of the song’s performance and the heart-shaped balloons and Cupid cutouts that will stay with me for a long time. The whole set was fun and got several people dancing. Shout-out to Tatiana, vocals, who danced to every song from start to finish and the surprising flirty dance moves Veronica pulled out during the last

    In the story the author, Laurence Yep, includes many instances where she uses foreshadowing. Such as when the author implies the grandmother can’t walk without canes. Or when she has to have help climbing up the stairs to the second story. Foreshadowing is also revealed when the author explains paw-paw’s short, stout feet with beautifully embroidered shoes. The author also foreshadows the grandmother with her seeing the ribbons, and then trying to take them away from Stacy.…

    A bubblegum pop playlist blasted through the boombox. With it, danced a pleased pair of people. It was much too loud to be in the beat up building they were in, but not enough to bother those bland neighbors. They were boasting about their best bops to each other, and after a billion songs, it turned into a dance party. Dancing until dawn, they would never be bored.…

    Loud cheers sound out and twirling bodies everywhere. A packed danced floor has everyone moving and yelling at once. This was my first experience at the Basque Center in Boise during one of the many festivals being held on a Saturday. Young and old are up on the dance floor doing traditional dances to traditional songs. As a first timer of course I looked ridiculous trying to keep up with the moves and this got a lot of chuckles from everyone.…

    Tsitsos wanted to find a way to help teach those who are curious about the scene. In the article, Dr. Tsitsos states, “This paper is based upon participant observation research conducted during the summer of 1995 when I lived in San Francisco, California, a city with a thriving scene.” (1) He also states, “Beyond being a study only of other people and their experiences, however, this is also a work which extends my own experiences.” (1) Through his research, Dr. Tsitsos was able to study the subcultures of the American alternative scene, interview members of the scene to gain experience on slamdancing and moshing, their ideologies and rules, and how to differentiate the two types of dances. From this, one can be educated on the American alternative scene and take part in “pit” dances with the proper etiquette, if they so choose.…

    Electronic Swing Analysis

    • 483 Words
    • 2 Pages

    My taste in music could best be described as electronic swing, since it is not quite EDM, electronic dance music, and isn't exactly jazz. It's the perfect mix, which presents you with a type of music that resembles art more than a simple melody. Often mistaken for nu-disco, electronic swing creates a modern and dance-floor focused sound that is more readily accessible to the modern ear but that also retains the feeling of live brass and the energetic excitement of the early swing recordings. The best-known artists include Parov Stelar and Caravan Palace while one-off international hits include 'Why Don't You' by Gramophone Dzie or No. 1 World Hit We No Speak Americano by Australian duo…

    Approaching the ginormous concrete amphitheater that is the Auditorio Nacional (National Auditorium) of Mexico City, I felt like I was going to see the likes of a Soviet orchestra perform instead of the Flaming Lips—until I was greeted by booming electronic music and cigarette smoke at its outdoor entrance. It turns out that The Flaming Lips were concluding the first day of TAG CDMX, a three day interdisciplinary festival that invites innovators from the realms of music, movies, design, culinary arts, and technology to discuss their creative process through various conferences, workshops, and performances. Earlier that evening inside the same stone Auditorio Nacional, director Spike Jonze had given a conference on “breaking the mold” in independent…
