Coltrane Motion @ The Fire, Philadelphia

Posted: 15 Mar 2009 09:15 AM PDT

Chicago’s Coltrane Motion (”more Roscoe P. than John C.” according to their MySpace page) stopped through Philadelphia’s Fishtown section earlier this week to play a late Tuesday night show at The Fire. I first heard the duo’s sweet indie electro rock sounds years ago with an mp3 of “Pi Is Exactly Three”, a dark and moody song that captivated me immediately.

The pair’s repertoire is dark and moody electro pop rock that pleases and is perfect for frenzied dance parties. Unfortunately, the sound at the Fire wasn’t the best, but that didn’t stop front man Michael Bond from rocking out harder on a Korg than I’ve ever seen anyone do before. His energy was matched by that of his band mate’s Matt Dennewitz on guitar, who also taking over Korg duties on occasion.

They’ve got a new single, The Year Without A Summer, with a dark and A side while the B side is slower and more drugged out. You can pick up the new single as the band continues their tour (dates below).

Coltrane Motion - “Twenty-seven”

Coltrane Motion - “How To Be”

Tour Dates:
Mar 14 - Northside Tavern / Cincinnati
Mar 15 - Mike n Molly's / Champaign, Il.
Mar 21 - Hexagon Bar / Minneapolis
Apr 11 - Beat Kitchen / Chicago
