Everyone syncs up, to great effect, while Dani riffs on organ; drums and Dani lift the jam to peaky terrain after 14 min, when Jake ditches the recursive motif and plays out. Jam swirls with subtle and cacophonous 12 Pounds DNA after 16 min (Mike's bass effect rules) before slickly heading home at 18.5 min. |

Capitol Theatre, The |
Port Chester |
NY | Momentum out the gates. Tru-Tron guitar melds with synth and bass after 6 min. A gradual dark pivot from 8 to 9 min with prominent keys and drums. Jake plays out by 10 min, this time keys and bass step forward. Builds in intensity; Alex crash cymbal work at 12 min proves the point. Picks up momentum via repetitive guitar on the way to peaky terrain. Rallies around a riff before slickly returning to Shallow Rivers after 14 min. |

Capitol Theatre, The |
Port Chester |
NY | Leaves All Wheels Turnin’ vibes behind at 7 min for lighter tones; hints of Shallow Rivers and Terrapin Station appear briefly. Bouncy bass groove and rolling drums set up a Razi flirtation at 9.5 min. Alex puts on a clinic at 11 min. Descending guitar runs at 12 min return to the Shallow Rivers DNA. Razi tease is unofficially official at 13 min, and enjoyably peaky play follows, then simmers. |
