Paris Monster is a duo out of Brooklyn, New York. They combine soulful vocals with sparse, linear drumming; fuzzed out bass with grinding synth; all atop a “eurorack” modular synth backdrop. If you’re wondering how a duo can cover vocals, drums, synth, bass, and extra synths, that’s because Josh Dion covers vocals, drums, and synth all at once, while Geoff Kraly handles the bass and sequencing the eurorack. It’s almost a shame to mention this novelty — I fear that it does a disservice to the musicianship on full display in Paris Monster — they don’t sound like a duo. If you only heard their music, you would have no idea of the musical economy at play, but to see it in action is as humbling as it is thrilling. It’s definitely a reminder that you should probably be practicing. FREE ADMISSION! On the Plaza Stage from 4 PM-5 PM on Saturday June 1st. Don't miss the magic!
