“The Past Lives embodies all that is Rock & Roll with raw captivating energy, liberating lyrics, and a range to reach all sonic heights.“ —Sonic Guild
BIOGRAPHY
The local sextet, led by the charisma-oozing bombast of Neptune, hyped the Tito’s tent into a frenzy with an intoxicating mix of dirty Eighties-styled hard rock, skeezy R&B ballads, and funk-bleeding breakdowns. Flanked throughout the performance by two backup dancers, Neptunes choreography struck a provocative contrast to the heavier moments that jammed the set’s opening run, yet synched perfectly as the band later leaned into an irreverently-suave sass of strutting grooves and slinky moves. A James Brown bump and breakdown of Aretha’s “Respect” led into notable Past Lives single “I Am the Gun,” before closing out with “Friends” torquing mini-operatic drama. “We don’t do things nice and easy, ‘round here we do things nice and rough,” Neptune seduced before cranking a nasty turn on “Proud Mary” that blew out into full hair-flipping, high-kicking energy. By the end of the set, half the band was shirtless and dripping with sweat. Likely the audience, too.
