Harper's isn't exactly the first place to go for a mesmerizing music performance. But this particular Saturday the emo-teen Paper Thursdays crowd was absent and the bar-latchers upped from their stools for The Indobox, an electro-rock band with boppy upbeats and fierce drumbeats. You can't help but hear hints of the exploding Passion Pit (though a bit more subtle on the pop), a sound that seems to be getting more familiar and trendy by the day.
Two types of people made up the crowd that night: those who felt the music and let it out to make the show a dance party, and those who internalized the music, entranced by the small-scale lightshow (yeah, a lightshow at Harper's, I know) that inevitably pairs with any electronica performance.
Their newest release, Adventure Rock, is their first studio album and doesn't fail to impress, but if you really want to get a taste of their sound I suggest their first two albums, which were recorded live.
