YACHT at Disjecta
After YACHT on a yacht, pretty much everyone headed over to the "afterparty" at Disjecta for yet more sets!
There was a bit of change up to the line up - Adrian Orange and the Child Slave Rebellion played before E*Rock instead of after.
It was my first time seeing Adrian Orange live since 7th grade. He played our Valentine's Day dance with his then-band Menagerie wearing an orange dress. I think Robin Rasmussen lent it to him. God. I remember that like it was yesterday. He had just gotten out of his phase of being referred to only as Kurt in homage to Mr. Cobain. Hahaha - middle school rocked! I am so glad I went to da Vinci!!!
Anyway, their set was good.
There was a brief DJ interlude that was grand. They played 'This is Why I'm Hot'. It really raised the energy level!
E*Rock was up next with a very inventive set. As I was watching, I was like, "Why is that guy kneeling down right by him on the stage?"
Then I realized he was assisting on vocal duties. The song was GREAT - my mind is a little foggy at this point, but it had a bit of a hip-hop feel to it.
He once again played that song that I liked last time -with lyrics about "black." Wow I am so articulate and so clearly familiar with his back catalog haha.
There was another DJ interlude.
Then YACHT took the stage, but once again he did not stay on it for long. He was in the crowd and above it.
Bobby Birdman came out and guested on 'Platinum' live as opposed to "live over the internet."
Then mid-set, much of the Urban Honking crew graced the stage front and center to form a one-off grunge band to reproduce much of the tracks off of his latest album I Believe in You. Your Magic is Real. Jona said it'd likely never happen again, to which White Rainbow shouted that it definitely wouldn't.
The band of three back up singers, a drummer, bassist, a keyboardist, and additional guitarist closed with the VERY appropriate 'Women Of The World' - the most hardcore rock type song on the new album.
Afterwards, Jona retired to the merch table to dole out free copies of his album and partake in some elaborate signing. Emphasis on elaborate.
I never get things signed, but there was no way I was going to miss out on some genuine Jona art. Guess who got the "promo copy?"
