Live Review: San Cisco - Mojo's

Mojo's provides an opportunity to get up close and personal with those gracing its stage and Seams were the first to entertain the rapidly growing crowd with the unique sound that is ever-helped by their enigmatic frontman Lyndon Blue. The local four-piece captivated with Magic Circle and Early and set the tone for the evening with their devil-may-care stage persona and seemingly contradictory attention to detail in their sonic structure.

The Voltaire Twins are supporting San Cisco on their national tour and the brother/sister combination, fresh back from a trip to SXSW (which has tightened their sound and set) had the capacity crowd bumping and grinding to their infectious indie pop. There is something that sets this four-piece apart from the indie electro pop set and this was particularly evident in their new single Young Adult and Tegan Voltaire switching seamlessly between keys and her own set of drum pads in the Air-reminiscent track.

The rapturous crowd was particularly patient through the protracted changeover and the energy in the room remained as Fremantle four-piece San Cisco took to the stage and immediately whipped the crowd into a frenzy with hit single Golden Revolver. Drummer Scarlett Stevens flirted and taunted the crowd, eventually encouraging crowd participation in a far less produced version of the successful track. The set seemingly flew by as the full roster of tracks had the crowd begging for more and vocalist/guitarist Jordi Davieson delivered with far less produced and more organic renditions, including two new tracks that were born from a marriage between Vampire Weekend and The Drums. It was an evening that showcased some of Perth's most exciting new talent and for those with stage crushes to get close to their 'pin-ups'.
