System Exclusive at Heartbreakers
Details
"Ari Blaisdell and Matt Jones are System Exclusive: a Pasadena based two piece band bearing an armful of mini synths, making heart-throbbing capital P pop cut with more than a hint of post-punk. Blaisdell’s vocals hearken back to openhearted 80’s hitmakers unafraid to quaver in the name of love, and they’re buoyed by Jones’ laser-gridded synth concoctions and heavy hand on the ones and twos."
That's what they say about themselves. Having heard some of their music it all sounds to me like something a bit tired from 1982. But they look happy and they're quite popular so just for once I might not be the only person in the whole audience, and I just feel that they're probably better live than experienced via some meaningless download or streamy thing.
Tickets are £8.
This event is also on another Meetup group, but no one'll be coming via that one either.
