The Underground of Happiness

Ana Palindrome . My second time seeing this 3 piece. Violin sometimes guitar. Bass. (Note – Hofner. Hello Paul McCartney.) Moog and friends. Two badass women out front. Starting to love the development of badass Irish women ruling the stages lately. Brushed violin initially. Playing with the texture not the melody. Something about it would remind you of John Cale on viola. New York John Cale. Slides. Scrapes. Drones. Woman on bass avoiding root notes. Harmonics. Note flutters.

Quarter Festival . Used to be known as Quarter Block Party . QBP . Same great shit. Different name. Ana Palindrome are a 3-piece. Violin/guitar. Bass. Synths. Experimental pop music you could dance to. More about them later in this series. They sounded and looked great against the chapel’s stained glass windows. Muireann Levis was on support. She did great things with a laptop and a few other gizmos. Intriguing sound design. Another win for QBP.
