Lucius, Radio Day Stage, Austin Tx, Friday March 14, SXSW

Lucius played stylish synth pop with great harmonies. Unusually the drums, whilst not a full kit , were stage front with guitar behind the synths. Identically dressed twin keyboard players led the vocals, but the whole band sang throughout.

There was a near-country tinge to the vocals, and the band made a very rounded sound that filled the cavernous room. They played a fun uptempo song  from their new album, which featured some enjoyable hand clapping. The whole set was high quality and fun, and got the audience dancing in their seats.
