Each of the bands were technically proficient, and aspects of each of the songs were always enjoyable; that said, Lower Dens did next to no talking (just the music), other than to say "Thanks." For me, music is often as much about the story, and live music is as much about the interaction between audience and the artist. Not even a "Hey, Baltimore!" type of introduction. The same rang true for the other acts, though Ira did some talking for YLT, and Victoria did a little bit for Beach House, too. I thoroughly enjoyed the music - I love Lower Dens' rhythm and hypnotic melodies, YLT is among my favorite bands (I wish they'd played more than 7 songs), and Beach House is the quintessential modern Baltimore band with some delightful earbugs.
The only other complaint I had was that it was almost too loud when Beach House came on. Their light show was, however, amazing, and I wish every band would have as much fun with their presentation.
