CONCERT REVIEW: Mayer Hawthorne and Chromeo @ The Electric Factory 10/31
"Philly," Dave from Chromeo said, "Let's get pregnant." That's the impression Mayer Hawthorne and Chromeo left you with. In the studio, they've established themselves as beloved, nerdy, indie funk and soul conoisseurs. But on stage? Smooth cats just trying to churn out some babymakers.
Dressed in suits and fedoras, both acts were on their grown man, as they say. Nevertheless, it didn't amount to a babymaking music type of affair despite efforts. One, because both acts have two many fancy-free diddies for that. Two, it was Halloween and most of the crowd was wearing costumes, ready for holiday fun. Standing next to a guy dressed as Harry Potter doesn't really put one in the mood. But it does make for a hopping dance party with everyone throwing their glow sticks. Brava, gentlemen. How we make this happen again for Halloween next year?
