After seeing Caveman perform at the Bowery Ballroom, I now understand why it was a sold out show.\u00a0 To put it simply – it was amazing.\u00a0 All of Caveman\u2019s unique features were enhanced during their set.\u00a0 If you are like me and have listened to Coco Beware<\/em> for the past five months on loop, seeing Caveman made me Decide <\/em>how Thankful<\/em> I was to have such a Great Life<\/em>.\u00a0 Ok, I\u2019ll stop having fun with song titles and try to portray how these New York natives put on such a colorful performance.<\/p>\n

Each member of the band played an integral part with the ensembles. The keyboards, tambourines, two guitarists, and multiple drums added many layered elements to their four-part harmonized songs. The talented lead singer, Matthew Iwanusa, mastered the multi-tasking while he covered songs using drums and tambourines while singing each high note right on pitch.\u00a0 Although I\u2019m not aware as to the meaning behind their band title, I can rightfully say, the show\/members embraced caveman-like tendencies.\u00a0 Slightly hunched, Iwanusa ardently banged on the single drum while the rest of the sounds beautifully rang through the ballroom as if it were inside an echoey cave.<\/p>\n

Compared to their album, the show had several psychedelic components to their set. The long resonating outros to certain songs reverberated throughout the venue and had a powerful impact on the listener.\u00a0 On top of some new songs they performed, they played their entire album.\u00a0 They ended with Great Life<\/em> and brought some of their talented friends to beat the drums with them on stage. Not only did I slightly feel I was watching a mini drum circle, but was intrigued by this spiritual experience.\u00a0 Although it was just a couple of guys having fun and jammin\u2019 to a great song, it was a moment that every concert attendee pays and prays to see-the organic development of watching the performers getting lost in the music. Priceless.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
