On September 27, Indiana-spawned Kid Savant, who now reside in Williamsburg, joined The Humans, an experimental dual-bass group featuring Bill Rieflin (RIP R.E.M) at Highline Ballroom. The unexpected sit-down dinner layout did not dampen Kid Savant’s set of danceable, nightclub-esque tracks, many of which will be included on their upcoming EP, “Drop it On the Stereo,” due out October 24. Strobes, flickering lights, and patterned projections enhanced the waves of synthesizer crescendos, swelling electro beats and live drums, and howling, melodic vocals of “4 Years” (see video), ethereal “Drop It On the Stereo,” ebullient and high-flying “What It’s Worth,” heartfelt, piano-driven “Better Side of Paradise,” and chromatic and dynamic “Cher aKido” . The electro-rock quartet will be celebrating the release of “Drop It On the Stereo” on October 14 at Brooklyn’s The Knitting Factory and will be hitting the stage at The Studio at Webster Hall on October 21 for CMJ. – Meijin Bruttomesso – photo by Deneka Peniston
