Evangelicals brought their eclectic dark pop rock to Union Hall last weekend after Headlights really captured the crowd with their solid, catchy standard early 2000's indie rock, suitable especially for their label Polyvinyl. Headlights played like they meant it and probably are the better of the 2 bands live when it comes to execution, and certainly more charismatic with the charming Erin Fein behind vocals and an array of instruments. Evangelicals may win in the entertainment area though, with smoke, florescent, neon lights all over the place, lead man Josh Jones without his shirt on...pretty much stoned. No, Evangelicals aren't as good live as they are on record. Their recent release, The Evening Descends is one of the best record of the year thus far. Most of the set came from that album and while their sound doesn't translate great live, it's still fun to watch this unpredictable band perform...like when Josh Jones stands on a chair and pounds the ceiling for no apparent reason at all...and they do jam pretty well for a young band.
