Sick of frontmen lacking stage presence, making you question if they even enjoy their own music? Francis Farewell Starlite may be the cure. Fellow scenemaker and Cantora Records labelmate, William Johnson of Gordon Voidwell, once said in a Deli interview that Starlite “is easily the most impressive dancer I’ve played a show with.” A quick search on YouTube renders numerous live videos of him showing off some sweet dance moves, opening for acts like Drake and MGMT. His band Francis and The Lights has a good amount of cred as they can count Kanye West and Drake as fans. Francis will play a rare solos show on February 24 at Les Poisson Rouge, only accompanied by piano and drum machine, and we can’t help but wonder: will the bare bone pre-programmed rhythms trigger some of those notorious dance moves? – Nancy Chow
