Black Moth Super Rainbow @ Millennium Park 6/29/9

Black Moth Super Rainbow, a psychedelic trance-hop quartet from Pittsburgh, drew a surprisingly large crowd to a Monday lunchtime Millennium Park show. Sure, the weather was perfect, and the event was free, but I've been to some other of these edible-audible shows this summer, and the crowd was much larger for this one. BMSR is an electronic instrumental band, with live drums and bass, and sampled, robotic-ized vocals that occasionally punch through the sometimes muddled, but mostly upbeat dance groove. I've only had passing history with this band, hearing maybe 1 or 2 singles along the way, so it was interesting to see BMSR with fresh eyes/ears. After the largely disappointing Sea and Cake show the week prior, it was nice to see Millennium Park rocking. That BMSR was able to fill such a large amphitheater  with both fine grooves and excited on-lookers says a lot about what they should be capable of in a small club. That's one show I'll be on the lookout for.
