There are two sides to the band Active Child: One of earlier material heavily infuenced by 80's New Wave electropop ala New Order / Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Dark and; the more recent, maturer, R&B-tinged soul-chamber-pop.
When Pat Grossi unexpectedly joined the audience during support act Caitlin Park's set and stood beside me, I froze not knowing what to say.
In between songs, I managed to tell him that they were my favourite newcomer of 2011; that I really enjoyed the album; found out that he was born in Philadelphia and now based in LA; offered him a drink to which he politely declined; and wished him a good show.
In hindsight, I should have requested an interview!!
Performing tracks from their Curtis Lane EP and You Are All I See LP, the evening was filled with beautifully uplifting and hypnotic songs balanced by boppy danceable electro numbers.
