[DID NOT ATTEND: March 8, 2022] half•alive / Daisy the Great
I first heard of half•alive on a Tiny Desk Concert.
I’ve been interested in seeing the band because their stage show is legendary–they have two guys who basically dance–they choreograph dances for the songs. Half alive is pretty dancey in an alt kind of way and I’m sure I’d like them. Especially live. But I had tickets to see Tigers jaw at a club relatively close to my house, so I chose to go to that show instead.
I had not heard of Daisy the Great and it turns out to be a band, not a person. Led by singer-songwriters Kelley Dugan and Mina Walker, their 2017 debut single “The Record Player Song” was a hit. Later, a remix of “Record Player” was released with production by AJR. I just listened to the song and it’s possible I’ve heard it. It starts with an a capella intro which is pretty interesting. Then it turns into a kind of indie folk pop. The remix adds a kind of dance beat to it (with extra vocals–changes the song quite a bit actually). I wonder what they’d be like live.
For ease of searching I include half alive.
