In Concert: tUnE-YarDs @ Jackpot Music Hall

On a gloomy rainy evening, one might not think going to a concert is high priority, but that was not the case this past Monday at the Jackpot. To a standing room only crowd, the tUnE-YarDs took the stage with their warpaint on.  A phantom of multitasking, Merrill Garbus looped drum signatures and vocal "skats" effortlessly. With tremendous vocal range, lyrics of regressed modern oppression whilst backed with a rhythmic bass groove, the tUne-YarDs had the entire crowd moving as one. Every song from whokill takes over your body, dropping you deep into an African drum circle where every spastic limb movement is an extension of the beat.

Notable Tracks:
1. "My Country"
2. "Es-So"
3. "Gangsta"
4. "Powa"
6. "Bizness"
