Middle Kids, March 30, 2017 at DC9

On Thursday, March 30, 2017, I went alone to DC9 to see headliner Middle Kids. A local band called The Queue was the opener. Queue suffered from horrible sound quality, so it was hard to judge the vocals.The musicianship seemed to be at a beginner band level. I thought they must have been chosen as the opener before Middle Kids exploded, but they said they were hired after the Conan appearance. The bassist had a great personality. The last song was the best. It had a moody quality to it.

Hannah Joy
 Middle Kids were fun and frenetic. Hannah Joy, the singer, has a fantastic voice. She and Tim Fitz (the guitarist/bassist) were the start of the band, which includes drummer Harry Day and some random bloke for the stage show. I got the impression Hannah and Tim were married to each other based on the wedding bands on their hands and the connection they seemed to have. It looked like they had a bunch of inside jokes they shared with one another. I can't confirm that impression based on a web search, though. Hannah looks like a model  - tall, great features, lots of presence. The  show had energy and charm - I highly recommend it. I think this band will get very big.
