After loving his melodic synth-based album, Moondagger, I was looking forward to ecstatic dance floor, imagining something along the lines of Passion Pit's stop at the Wonder Ballroom. Sadly, the concert was sparsely attended and I think that reigned in the dancing to just a handful of fans. That didn't stop Randolph Chabot from delivering a spirited and kinetic performance, hopping and convulsing across the stage and occasionally covering himself in a children's sheets. The full band (guitar, bass, drums, and computer) emphasized the rockier side of their songs; although the synths and blips were featured on the album, now I heard the drums first. I hope songs like "Toxic Crusaders" and "Parallelogram"catch on because I'd love to see him in front of a packed dancefloor.

Finally heard my first Deastro song ("The Shaded Forests") and it is fanbloodytastic. I hate that I waited this long!
Glad you like it. You'll probably like all of Moondagger.
It's the guitar in "The Shaded Forests" that I love. If only Passion Pit could learn to intersperse some guitar riffs into all that melodic mess they also have going on....
