After a six month hiatus, we have finally heard back from the Bakalao Stars. On Friday night they played the Evening Muse in NoDa with Avion Sans Pilot opening the show. I journeyed to NoDa and walked around the gallery crawl where artists and craft vendors were presenting their wares on the sidewalks. I was a little early for the Bakalao show, so I ended up listening to a jazz combo playing outside at Salvador Deli's:
After running into some friends, I went inside to see Avion Sans Pilot perform. They play heavy metal and loud. It's nice to see a little gender equity with two women, the lead singer and guitarist, fronting the band.
Then Bakalao Stars took the stage, in this configuration with eight members, dressed in party outfits:
They played a few new songs, including one inspired by the trip by two of the band's members to New York for the Latin Alternative Music Conference. And they played a few of their older favorites, jamming out as the crowd danced. One thing that never fails, the Bakalao Stars always seem to bring an audience of people that are enthusiastic about their mix of ska, rock, reggae, and funk.
