This terrific pop trio from Philadelphia really knocked me out. Songs were hook-filled and infectious, with just the right amount of distortion and dissonance.
The trio sounded even better live than on record. The songs have a more aggressive energy, and the soaring three-part harmonies outshone those on the album.
Helium was the buzz band of the night. Guitarist Mary Timony, dolled up in silver sequined skirt and pink leotards, was the undisputed queen of this rock prom.
