Bonobo 4-24-2010


Coming from the UK and putting on one hell of a show; Bonobo came on stage at the Wonder Ballroom with his live band and performed a fantastic show; playing songs from his new album "Black Sands" and previous albums like "Days to Come" and "Dial "M" for Monkey" Bonobo jumped right into his set and captivated the crowd with his wide range of mixing abilities and his use of a live band which rocked the house; especially the lead singer Andreya Triana (who even left the stage at one point and joined the crowd).
Being inside the Wonder Ballroom on a stage with limited space and lighting, they were able to captivate the crowd with his awe-inspiring and ambient music using warm red and cool blue lighting. With great use of space and lighting Bonobo played a wide range of his music and including a spectacular claranet and drum solo from the band that transformed into a duet leading into the last portion of the set. After his set Bonobo was quick to return for an encore not leaving the crowd in suspense. Playing several more songs Bonobo and his band was able to rev up the crowd one more time intto a heightened explosion of dance. Bonobo and his band put on a spectacular performance and showed just how good live music can be. The only negative part of the show was that it was too short and ended 15 minutes before the allowed curfew, but that may be because no one wanted the music to stop.
