Glitch-folk quartet Motopony may be from the Seattle area but it's rare to catch a show here because they've been touring a lot lately. Lead singer Daniel Blue has a charming, powerfully emotional voice and is a magnificent performer. Keyboardist Buddy Ross splices the otherwise acoustic sounds produced by Brantley Cady (lead guitar) and Mike Notter (guitar + bass) with animated synth beats and talented drummer Forrest Mauvais meshes it all together. Their collective vibe is very characteristic of the Northwest: plaid and folk meet technology and then everyone's a little melancholy because of the rain. I'd definitely go see this show tonight if I didn't have school tomorrow (since I can't, you should go in my stead).
Motopony, Bryan John Appleby, Tomten @Neumos @8pm
