Levitation 2025: Model/Actriz

3:30pm after Wednesday and before Blonde Redhead.  Per Wikipedia:

Model/Actriz is an American rock band, formed in 2016 in Boston, Massachusetts, that is currently based in Brooklyn, New York. The group consists of drummer Ruben Radlauer, guitarist Jack Wetmore, vocalist Cole Haden, and bassist Aaron Shapiro.  The band's music has been described as post-punk and noise rock. Frontman Haden often incorporates queer sexual themes in his lyrics "as a gay person working in a genre that’s not very outwardly gay."

It also says:

Drummer Ruben Radlauer and guitarist Jack Wetmore were childhood acquaintances whose fathers were in a band together in the 1980s. Radlauer and Wetmore reconnected while attending Berklee College of Music, and decided to start a band together.

"Cinderella" is interesting.  It's a mix of EDM like My Life with the Thrill Kill Kult and bass-heavy post-punk like Joy Division.  Here they are playing it live on Colbert.

"Diva" has a cool bass line.

This is their most streamed song on Spotify. Reminds me of LCD Soundsystem with it's dance tempo.

Oh wow, I might have to take a break inside during their set.
