Wow! Amazing! Better than I could have even imagined
by KG on 2024-04-22The Centre in Vancouver - VancouverI love Bahamas, but had never seen them live, and wow, I expected it to be good but it was downright amazing! The band is so tight, Afie was hilarious, every song sounded like it could have been recorded in the studio but was a different arrangement than I'd heard before. They have such a defined sound together that perfectly balances weird experimentation, with 'just enough' minimalism, tight groove without being "funky"and beautiful harmonies. Both their playing and the lighting offered such great contrast and dynamics to the set. The way Afie and Christine's guitar playing weaves in and out of being in unison or harmonizing against each other was inspiring. I don't understand how they were so in sync! I even caught myself obsessing over the tightness of the drumming (which is usually more of an afterthought to me). The understated locked in bass and jaw dropping beauty of Felicity's voice really ties it all together. I will absolutely go see them again every chance I get! It also sounded amazing without being too loud being in more of a theatre venue. I always wear fancy earplugs to shows and didn't feel the need to wear them. I DID wish I could move around a bit more since it was so groovy, but the amazing views and sound quality was worth not dancing along!
