I mentioned in April that I stumbled across an advertisement for Postmodern Jukebox doing an Australian tour, and I bought tickets. The concert was last night.
It was pretty great - talented musicians and singers doing the PMJ cabaret thing of new songs done in various styles and re-workings - with a frentic tap dancer thrown in or light entertainment! (She appeared on a couple of recent Youtube videos on its channel.)
The audience was strongly tilted to older ages - over 50's - and it did amuse me a bit to hear an older audience be as enthusiastic as they were. I guess it's the general retro vibe of PMJ that attracts, and the performers do tend to be, mostly, in the over 30 range? But there were some younger people in the audience as well, including my daughter, who enjoyed it as much as her parents did.
The sound mix was very shaky on the first song (vocals completely overwhelmed by the band), but it got better as the songs went on, and was not a problem overall.
I also got to try out a new phone camera (I will talk about that in a separate post), and yeah, when you compare it to concert photos I took many years on much crappier phones, you can see how much technology has improved. (Although this is first upper mid range/lower top range phone I have bought, ever.)
I will post a couple of pics soon.
