Super Geek League – The Velvet Underground
Best described as a “Sci-Fi Soul-Metal Circus”, Seattle-based Super Geek League actually defies categorization. First the music. The band is fronted by a soul-belting vocalist against grunge-inflected metal with horns and hip-hop/funk elements mediating between the bands raucous energy and frenzied rock collective feel. Then there’s the presentation. With 11 performers onstage, the set was turned into ramshackle spectacle that incorporated bizarre sci-fi costumes, burlesque dancers, with each member wearing tiny lights that changed colour synched to the music. A sensory overload of sexed-up punk/metal theatrics. Yes, the music was secondary to the spectacle, but that’s not the point. It was more about entertaining the crowd with an electrifying stage show. And they’re pretty good at it too.
