“Nutsack symphonies” and soulful sounds defined Friday night at Union Transfer as Icebird, the new project from rjd2 and Aaron Livingston, celebrated its release of The Abandoned Lullaby right before rjd2 returned to the moveable stage to woo the crowd with his intergalactic garb and a hammer bearing Mario hand puppet. Lushlife opened the night with a dose of electro-hop, which contained raw beats over electrical sounds, rather than sampled bass-y thumps. Icebird unveiled to the masses a funky, groovy vibe transmitting much emotion via Aaron Livingston’s facial expressions which mirrored his intense vocals. rjd2 wrapped up the evening with a mini marathon workout utilizing all of his turntables and knobs before bringing Icebird back out to close with an encore, covering “Motivation” by Kelly Rowlands.
