Two one-person bands, MNDR and Bobby Birdman, opened up for a two-person band, YACHT, who had three more musicians backing them up, at Bowery Ballroom on March 11th.

“During their short yet spirited performance, YACHT played the majority of their recent album, See Mystery Lights. The record plays on themes of death, heaven and hell but is in no way depressing or morbid. Even when it is in poor taste, as the group chanted the lyric “Do the Kurt Cobain and blow your brains out” from “B Side Suicide,” it was done with playfulness and levity. This charismatic energy was most apparent during the anthemic “Psychic City” and their show opener, “Ring the Bell.” Additionally, the duo constantly interacted with the audience, from descending into the crowd to laying hands upon eager fans. If YACHT intends to create intrigue, they have certainly achieved it with their personality and music.” [JAQK]

All three of those acts will be at SXSW – MNDR even makes a stop at the BrooklynVegan day party on Friday, March 19th at Club DeVille.

YACHT go on tour this April and May with labelmates LCD Soundsystem.
