Good weather, good people, and good music is all you need. The vibes were right in 529 this past Saturday for Mad Mad World. Sye Spence‘s EP release party sponsored by Art Nouveau and hosted by Coco & Breezy brought out an eclectic mix of fashion lovers, artists and music heads ready to party to the sounds of what’s new, now and next in indie rock music.
Ben Carson opened the show with booze infused performances of his songs “Selfish,” “Isabella” & “Wasted.” Sandflower, aided by lights on her fingertips, performed second. By the time theDOLLDAZE was on stage, the entire 529 had turned into a mosh pit. The singer went through songs the crowd knew by heart including “The Hard Way” & “Words.” Her guitarist got so into the performance he smashed his guitar all over the stage by the last song she performed.
Of course that’s a hard act to follow. But Sye Spence was intent on doing just that. Dressed in a zebra striped cat suit and six inch feather laced heels Sye Spence entered the stage like a Diva and belted through “A Merican Dream.” Her performance was a mixture of Beyonce and Lady GaGa, just enough theatrics to keep you entertained and more than enough vocal skill to catch anyone’s ear.
Sye’s EP Mad Mad World is available now. Take a closer look at photos from Mad Mad World taken by GreatEclectic. Click here for more. Watch this neat video wrap up below.
