Missing Persons

I recently saw that Missing Persons was playing with Dale Bozzio and Bow Wow Wow at the Dead Horse Cantina & Music Hall in Mckees Rocks, PA, which is pretty close to me. I thought it would be fun to hear the music I grew up to live, so I convinced a couple friends to come out with me. As I thought, the crowd was mostly people our age who remember Missing Persons from their youth, and it was great to get out and party with people from my generation again. Missing Persons played a mix of their familiar peppy, upbeat 80's style electronic pop like Words and what seemed to me to be a heavier, modernized version of some of their songs like Mental Hopscotch. It was great to hear the songs I remember from so long ago, and interesting to hear them reworked into a modern format. The heavier guitar and deeper sound of the modernized songs still fit them well and flowed naturally and even though the background music was louder and more intense, Dale Bozzio's voice still shone through with the high quality sound she's always been known for. The light show was intense, and the high energy, electronic music kept people up and moving from start to finish. I was glad to see that they are scheduled to play here again this fall.
