Vince StaplesĪ quarter of the way in saw him moving into Smoke & Retribution where Vince Staples came bounding back on stage with the same vigor but also with a dead mic and it unfortunately stayed that way for a whole verse. It was a true artistic lightshow that could not have been any better. There was a lazer beam cage that shone from the floor to the roof, a strange red and blue light combination that made the crowd look as if they were both from a 3-D film and a part of Salvador Dali’s art and an explosion of colour and effects that I’d never seen before.
#Flume concert finish time mod
The staging was simple, suspended neon lit cubes that gave it a very mod vibe and allowed the lighting to be the biggest highlight of the whole gig. Launching straight into the classics On Top and Holdin’ On, the overhead video shots and the most intricate visuals made it so unique, so metallic, just so Flume. The bass dropped, the curtain dropped and it was on. Flume appeared shrouded by a gigantic drape of shadow as spinning blue police lights quickened in anticipation as the bass of Helix grew to a deafening sound. A grid of luminescent floodlights began to glow up the fog and a long drawn out droning vibration competed with the crowd’s cheers. He left us high and happy with that Blue Suede.Įxtraterrestrial is probably the closest description to what the ten minute intro felt like. He paid homage to his home, Long Beach California with his mantra ‘I speak from where I come’, dead panning the camera with a resonant seriousness so that when he sang ‘I ain’t run from nothin but the Police’ in Norf Norf, the undertones of the gang life made sense. He had a strong Childish Gambino energy with a bit more Kanye (before Kanye loved Kanye). It was him in a blue hoody, a mic stand and a small screen with red bee’s crawling across it. I can only hope he played MSMSMSM and finished on Lemonade. No, the right to open for such a class act. The eclectic beat maker has made small ripples in the scene that gave him the honor. I completely attribute the 36-minute stand still on St Georges Terrace as to the sole reason I missed out on SOPHIE’s set. Therefore, Friday, November 25 was nothing less than a spectacular of epic proportions.Īrcadia had it’s opening night and it was the real first balmy evening Perth had seen this summer, so naturally every artery in and out of the city was clogged like a 76 year old smoker’s. There’s not too many more boxes you can tick to ensure your spot as one of the country’s most respected musicians.
