Delivering a full bodied sound, with loops interlocking each song in the set, the band created a fluid yet fractured sound that we could not pull ourselves away from. Not one time during this set did we think “Is this their last song?” while shifting from one aching foot to another, as so often happens when a band plays in the later hour of a show. While we have been previously taken by the recordings the band has to offer, we were unprepared for the assault of sound we heard on the Beat Kitchen’s stage. With as wide a range of sound as their bio promises, The Field Auxiliary shined towards the likes of Silverchair, Failure, Deerhunter, and many more. Truly a sound of controlled chaos, we were pleasantly surprised at just how enveloping their set was, not only musically but as a performance. There was some serious duende coming from frontman Dan Smart, who was entirely arresting without show boating, absolutely playing for the music he was making and not the crowd. We’d also like to note the sheer joy we felt watching bass player Jon Ozaksut enjoy himself- nothing makes a performance better than seeing someone truly happy to be playing music. Overall: a great performance from a band we are quickly growing to love. (Check out The Field Auxiliary’s interview with us here) [...]
