Pulling triple duty that
night were Lyo and
drummer Dylan Wissing, both of whom are in Brooklyn four
piece Skidmore Fountain. Fronted by the lovely Randy
Bergida, Skidmore Fountain played a slick set of polished,
rock-tinged dance songs. The band had a great stage presence
and an energy that was infectious. Piano’s was packed by this
time and the audience was grooving along with Wissing’s beats
and mimicking Bergida’s words.
I was just as impressed with Lyo’s cellist skills throughout the
Skidmore set, but I was equally impressed with the
musicianship from the rest of the band. Each of the four
musicians on stage shone through wonderfully without
overpowering each other or aurally dominating the room.
Skidmore Fountain no doubt has a bright future ahead. They put
on a fun and tight set that you have to see/hear for yourself.
Really.
