Goodluck rocked the Guy Butler last\nnight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Teens took to the aisles screaming and grooving as lead singer Juliet Harding, radiant in high-wasted, big buckle white pants and thick-soled black-striped takkies, bounced, and belted out the electro-pop band’s hits aka I’ve Been Thinking About You<\/em>, Be Yourself<\/em> and the collaboration, Kota<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n She left the stage, hung out with the heaving teens and even made her way through one of those long-distance, banana-shaped aisles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Back on stage percussionist Ben Peters\nand keyboardist and sax axeman Tim Welsh kept up the most amazing\nbass and plethora of sounds all those five or six tech boards can\nproduce.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The band has a clever way of reaching\nacross all genres, even the lights switched from ultra-modern \ndigital strobes and probes, to sweeping old-style spotlights.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The music, while keeping to the dance\ngoing, had so many influences \u2013 electro pop of course, but also\nswing, Afro-rhythms, jazz and was that a hint of Ska?<\/p>\n\n\n\n Welsh’s grungy sax clashed wonderfully with his hipster lit up keyboards and I loved his fresh, athletic style.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Ben Peters was the Yeti guru on those electro drums getting so many of the deepest and soft booms but I also smaaked the lighting-inspired snap, crackle and pop on some of the edges. His colour alternating illuminated drumsticks are a hoot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Harding is the front woman though who gets catapulted like an exploding rainbow from this electro trebuchet into the crowd. Her messages were adorable and apt and efficient.<\/p>\n\n\n\n This was a carefully curated, beautiful, respectfully presented and utterly liberating hour of happy electro-wildness.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Goodluck rocked the Guy Butler last night.
