Concert Review: Kill The Noise & Treasure Fingers

@ Into The Am|v20 4/8/2010

I understand this review is long overdue. Quite frankly it's almost 2 weeks since I attended this show. But hey, in my defense I had my very first Coachella to prep for(more on that event in an upcoming post). It's better late than never. So let's begin shall we...

So in typical local Long Beach fashion I arrive on my time frame and accidentally miscalculate the factors of spring break, grand prix season, and 18+ teenagers hungry to get their club experience going. Having to wait in any line in Long Beach especially for a club I used to frequent 4 years earlier is enough to make any local turn around and leave but I stayed true to my resolve, "all for the love of music." After a brief 45min. wait in line I managed to walk in right as Kill The Noise was murdering the crowd with Daft Punk - One More Time. Everyone was getting down with their moves when all of a sudden KTN drops Project Bassline - Drop The Pressure (Jack Beats Remix). I don't know about you but whenever I hear the wobble of a Jack Beats track I just have to move and dance. Before I got carried away I managed to snap a quick photo of everyone throwing their hands in the air right before the drop. And with that burst of musical energy I soon realized that KTN's set was soon to be over as Treasure Fingers was setting up his gear. [Self note: Show up early for KTN]

Right from Treasure Fingers' first track the crowd jumped into a funky dance fever. The kids up in front waving their hands in the air, the couples by the railing were getting their grind on, and last but not least the groups to the side grooving to their distinct shuffle styles. The only song I can clearly recall is his remix of Classixx - I'll Get You. I see why TF is with Fool's Gold and is sponsored by the likes of Native Instruments, Moog, and Traktor Pro. Once he gets you going you can't help but dance all night long.
