Empire of the Sun @ Terminal 5

Whoa. What an excellent show! Its obvious that EOTS would have put everything out there for their second show State side EVER, but this was just way, way, way past what I expected from a performance especially in a venue as small as T5.

The Australian trio rocked the house with its catchy 80's transplanted electro driven songs which, I think, were defiantly trumped by the eye-popping visual show with elaborate choreography and bizarrely clad backup dancers. The show was something akin to a wet dream lady gaga may have if she was on an existential trip with her own id in some futuristic interpretation of Japanese vernacular culture.

 They played some of the hits and some of the b-sides all with intense interludes of highly vivid visions of the inter-workings of the universe from the earth to the cosmos as seen in the beginning of their latest rendering for the song "Standing on the Shore". I recommend checking them out (at any sized venue) as they will surely bring the mess with your mind visuals and the dance-able tunes. Enjoy live footage of "Walking on a Dream" from the show below!
