2024-05-08 | Smile | Eggy | Adelaide Hall | Toronto | ON | An engaging, improv-filled groove. Jake's Chase Bliss Blooper sets a swirling, repetitive jam early. Rolling toms from Alex at 6 min as a Mike-led groove takes shape. At 9 min, Chase Bliss Mood guitar pedal meshes within the groove. Rhythm section briefly drops out at 13 min as Jake effects continue and Dani's synths take hold. Band creates satisfying tension at 16 min between guitar effects, high-register bass, and peaceful keys. Spills back to Chest Fever vibes at 17 min. |
2024-12-28 | Smile | Eggy | XL Live | Harrisburg | PA | Hits a repetitive guitar lick around 8 min; piano breaks us free and jam builds back into a full-band cooperative groove. A pretty, descending lick at 11 min as Jake pulls from the Farthest Step playbook. |
2024-12-31 | Smile | Eggy | Paradise Rock Club | Boston | MA | After initial improvisation, the jazzy interlude after 9 min delights. Jake, Alex, and Mike get caught in a figurative vortex at 11 min amidst organ swells. Ascending guitar escapes the pull and lifts the jam into a tension-building zone. Manic energy morphs into a Bodysnatcher by Radiohead section at 15 min that will delight any and all music nerds. Catapults into fast-paced, crash cymbal-heavy, guitar-led shreddery after 18 min. |
