Two Door Cinema Club et STRFKR

Two Door Cinema Club are a Northern Irish electronic/alternative rock duo. I saw them at the Ritz Ybor in Tampa back in 2012 and they were amazing! They brought all the energy of a stadium concert into a medium sized venue. The stage setup, with laser lights, made their music feel like a party. You’d be surprised at how well they play the crowd.
Their music uses a lot of electronic bleeps and blurps but blends the bass and guitar in perfectly. Their sound is funky and they add unexpected musical elements to make them a one-of-a-kind band. Their set included “Something Good Can Work”, “Undercover Martyn”, “Sleep Alone” and the eponymous “I Can Talk” – with its unmistakable intro. They also know how to slow the music down, however, and Two Door Cinema club played some slower tracks beautifully. They are true artists on stage that have mastered their instruments. The lead singer croons perfectly on key all while managing the energy of the room depending on the song. Some times we slow danced, some times we jumped up and down like lunatics. Either way, Two Door Cinema club is DEFINITELY worth seeing. And since they are not internationally huge yet, their ticket prices can often be under $30, making the experience a steal.

I've paid to see Starfucker. I've seen Starfucker live. I've seen them in as intimate a venue as a college quad and I've seen them in as huge a venue as FYF. The thing each other their performances have in common is that they put on a mind-blowing show every single time.
Their energy and their sound have been the highest of qualities and every time I see them is a completely new experience. You never know what's going to happen at a Starfucker show. Will they throw garbage bags full of balloons at the crowd? Will confetti fly out of cannons while men in green spandex dance on stage? Will men in human-sized animal costumes come out and simulate fellatio on said green spandex men? Will a spaceman suddenly stage dive and crowd surf while Starfucker covers "Girls Just Wanna Have Fun?" YOU JUST NEVER KNOW!
Another thing every Starfucker show has in common: You're going to get sweaty. You jump, you dance, you move, and suddenly no one looks like a stranger anymore. Everyone's one and the same; a gear in the machine that is the crowd. Everyone's there for the same reason and that reason is to watch Starfucker put on a show. Their music goes from dance-your-ass-off tunes to more melancholy sounds that you can "chill" to.
If you want catchy electo-riffs and amazing visuals in your music and live performances, Starfucker is definitely a band you should check out. The five best nights of my life have all been nights I've spent in the Starfucker dance pit.
