Concert Review: Shlohmo w/ D33j and Jim-E Stack @ Trees (Dallas, TX)


My review of the Slohmo concert at Trees in Dallas is up now at D FrontRow, the official arts and culture blog of major Dallas-Fort Worth monthly D Magazine. Here I muse on the trappings of dance music culture and offer a number of grumpy observations about teenagers:
"I was a little shocked to see my first pair of feathered angel wings and furry, pink go-go boots. And it didn’t take long until I was standing awkwardly next to an 18-year-old wiggling his lit-up LED fingers in a manner befitting Criss Angel’s insufferable baby brother. Just what were these kids expecting from this performance? Certainly not the night of slow-burning, atmospheric soundscapes that I was. I soon began to suspect, though, that they were right and I was wrong."
