This was the second time I’ve seen Office at the 400 bar.
The first was at the beckoning of my old roommate Sara, who said she wasn’t going to go to the show because no one else could go.
Eff that.

Anyways, I thoroughly enjoy their stuff.
Their album is 40% of their live show (and that album is good to begin with.)

Tiger City played before them. They had a great sense for the dance-pop scene and the bass player grooved every song quite smoothly. I’d definitely see them again if they come through.

The lead singer was creepy as all hell. He had a Mike Tyson eye tattoo.
I don’t care if that is permanent or temporary. It is stupid and creepy.
He sang well though and the bass player made up for all creepiness in overall zest for dance-pop, bass-player-head-nod, and lust for playing music. (You can always tell when people enjoy what they are doing. I will always support people who do that.)

Office played great. Tambourine craziness, tight playing, and saving the two favorite songs for the end. (”Oh My” to end the set and “The Ritz” to end it.)

High Life was following and my feet were shaking.
Great people, great music.
Loving it.
