As the anticipation grew thick, the curtains slowly rose and revealed Flume’s elaborate stage setup. The lights eventually dimmed, and Flume’s dramatic ambient music played for about 10 minutes. He played all the favorites from “Blue Suede,” to “Norf Norf,” and he delivered with slick lyricism and style.Īs Staples’ set came to a close, the crowd started to intensely move closer to the front of the stage for Flume. Nonetheless, Staples put on an incredible show. It was clear that most of them were here to experience Flume.
It was a shame that the majority of the crowd weren’t connecting with Staples or his music. But shortly after his big entrance, the energy fizzled and he kind of just stood behind his mic not moving much for the remainder of his set. Staples was a cyclone of energy, darting left to right and hopping around. The trappy beats had the crowd moving a bit, but people seemed to be saving their energy for the bigger acts to come.Ī few minutes after Hwls, Vince Staples made his entrance running out to the stage as he kicked off the set with “Lift me Up” from his latest album Summertime ’06. Together, the two gave a slamming performance.īut before the evening’s main event, Hwls, from Perth Australia, warmed us up the Shrine Expo Hall with some vivid sounds off his self titled EP. The young Australian producer’s second performance of his four-show-run at the Shrine popped off last night with none other than Los Angeles’ Vince Staples. Neither was two, nor three nights-but four (sold-out) nights with Flume seemed to be the lucky number that appeased Los Angeles. One night with Flume at the Shrine Expo Hall was not enough.
