Performance Art Response

Today I saw a musical group play at Baby’s All Right in Williamsburg. It was a musical group called TOEBOW and I absolutely loved it. I wasn’t sure what to expect, because I have never seen or heard of them before. But afterwards, it made me want to do this a lot and just go explore new and exciting artists that are trying to make it in New York. I would definitely say this was an engaging form of performance art. Their music was very unique; The group had dueling guitars, synths, 4-part harmonies and acoustic/electric percussion. Their music channels a variety of musical influences. It involves many different genres and decades of music, from Frank Zappa to West African Guitarists. My two favorite songs were  Mr. Tony and Burnt Bread. But even with the music aside, seeing their relationship with the audience and observing how the audience interacted with the musicians was a performance in itself. I could practically feel the passion that was coming off of each and every body in there. Everyone was happy to be there. You could tell that they were there for the music, and I found that truly beautiful. I want to be up there some day.
