Fantastic concert! From start to finish, high energy tribal drumming, with new gamelan players that up the percussion ante. Yoshimi looked like she was having a great time with her distinctive yelping and underrated singing contributing to the upbeat atmosphere. The key to an OOIOO concert is the amount of contagious FUN the band members are having, smiling and laughing throughout, that poured into the audience... I was looking around and saw a smile/laughter on everyone's face. Infectious. Lastly, the musicianship on display was top-notch, complex polyrhythms on all instruments (percussion and strings both) that belies the notion of "primitive music" the band has been saddled with in the past. The gamelan players contributed to songs both old and new, giving a steady pulse and linking songs together which helped keep the energy level high all night. If you have a chance to see OOIOO this tour or in the future, don't miss the opportunity, it is well worth the time and will definitely be a musical, and emotional, bright spot to your day/week/year!
