LAKER Experiment! More PLEASE!!
(4 votes, average: 5.00 out of 5)
Loading ...Roanoke just cranked out its latest rock star. Opening night of LAKER‘s band at Kirk Ave Music Hall was sooooooo fabulous! An historic event of EDM proportions. But if you missed it, you SUCK!!! Haha. Well, not to worry, right? There’s supposed to be a 5 gig tour… except last weekend’s was cancelled. Doh!
WTF?? Now what? We are left hanging… River, more please!
(PS – EDM is Electronic Dance Music.)
The opening show was performed November 25, 2011 to a very hip group of Roanokers, and well-received. At one moment, singer River Laker took off his jacket which sparked cheers from the crowd – alas, no other articles of clothing were removed to everyone’s disappointment.
River’s songs were amazingly and surprisingly touching, a concoction of personal and intimiate childhood experiences meshed with electronic sounds and beats from bandmembers Josa Wakes (keyboards) and Blaine Davis (drums). Also assisting in the first-time stage experiment was Susanne Fitzgerald, adding an unusual visual flow that locked her and River into a trance-like sway for most of the show.
Well, we’re ready for more… meantime, check out a live version of “From Alan Watts to the Irresistible Open Arms of Jesus” taped at the Kirk Ave show.
