Though his music and lyrics are enough to stand on their own, Matthew Dear gave an incredible performance ... absolutely mesmerizing. The music itself sounded incredible, with not one but two percussive set-ups, and Mr. Dear sang, (dressed in his signature pinstripe suit) with much more range than seems presented on his latest albums-- a nice surprise (I've never seen him live before). If you are an electronic/electronica lover like me, he is one performer you should not miss as he is as fascinating to watch as he is to listen to.
