White Denim & Imoni Present: The Commotions 1|8|11 [Concert Review]


The Commotions : Official | Facebook | Twitter

Apologies for the lateness of this review. 2011 has definitely started off with a new type of craziness and it's taken me the whole month to finally adjust to close to little or no sleep and lots of fun projects with impending deadlines. Here goes my thoughts for the show that night...

The Commotions are a fun, catchy, and tap your foot while you sway and smile kind of happy. Vocalist Marianne and guitarist Reuben traded call and response choruses that made me wish I knew the lyrics for all the songs. They performed a majority of the tracks from their most recent self titled release. While the crowd was teased to dance during the song "Soul Pop" they definitely showed their skankin' moves during "Licorice". All in all it was a good show for a good crowd. The only thing that was missing from their performance that night was some sort of keys or synths to really accentuate key chorus progressions.
