Playing hip hop for over 40 minutes in near-darkness and only backlit by the video screen in the background, the two DJ’s and one MC pulled some tracks from their latest album So It Goes, including the title track. While some fans were confused by the hip hop/rap styling as opener, while some fans were embracing the polarizing music genre with their “hands in the air”.

Since their latest album is called Painting With, the theme of their stage setup featured three large Pablo Picasso-esq statues in plain reflective white. When the show started, colorful, animated visuals are projected onto the statues, making for a truly unique psychedelia experience. I’m sure it’s intentional, but the visuals seemed to match with their music... so if a certain song is moving faster, the colors seemed to be more schizophrenic.
Looking back, the stage presentation is really a great way for fans to enjoy the show, because, let’s face it, three guys over keys and a drummer may not be that exciting to watch without any videos or other aids.
Since the tour is for Painting With, the majority of their set featured those songs, including their set closer “FloriDada”.
