Friday's Mountain Dew-sponsored Green Label Sound party at Backstage Bar featuring Freelance Whales, Theophilus London and Neon Indian was buzzing with pretty people,  blipsters and music-nerd hipsters with body mass index's so low, we would gladly force feed them a Mountain Dew or four. Freelance Whales, who my friend told me were playing outside the subway just a year ago, are a cool pop group with synth-pumped, bouncy hooks. They have an equal parts dreamy and upbeat sound, much like the Postal Service (remember those guys!?), and were a nice warm-up for the night. Next came a shift in tastes with dancey tunes by Theophilus London. The "pop-geek" mixes all kind of genres together: hip-hop, rap, electronic and new wave, and that subsequent sonic stew really shines through with jams that make you want to break it down. Last up was the headliner of the night, Neon Indian. When I saw Neon Indian at Governor's Island this summer I was a little skeptical of how a band so focused on studio production could sound live. They ended up being good, but the lead singer, Alan Palomo (you can call him Al Pal), had a little trouble getting heard in an outdoor venue, amidst a loud crowd and even louder synths that were blowing up onstage. Inside the confines of the grungy bar on Friday night though, he was heard, and it was great. Mr. Palomo delivers soothing, sexy and whispery vocals, which work perfectly with the lo-fi, psychedelic music he creates. Apart from that drugged-out dude that kept on elbowing me while dancing, the concert rocked. Thanks Al Pal!
