Major support for KLP was Tigerilla who is a producer specialising in what he calls nostalia electronica. I would call it…weird karaoke? He was set up with a synth and a laptop but stood in front of said set-up with a microphone and sung over his pre-recorded tracks. He certainly had a lot of energy and looked like he was very much enjoying himself. He was a good looking guy in a tall-tee and baggy pants with a squadron of look-a-like dudes standing in the front dancing just as hard as he; he obviously knows the right people. Tigerilla played a checkered set with a few pretty good tracks that piqued my interest and few that were just derivative and boring. His set left my dumbfounded, asking myself, 'what did I just watch?'.
Following him was KLP who took the stage with a back-up singer and electronic drummer. She played what she calls a live set where she took the role of lead vocalist and front-woman as opposed to her more popularly known DJ set. KLP played a flawless set and showed off her strong and impressive voice. She was also able to dance and keep the crowd engaged. The three of them on stage had a nice vibe and relationship and provided plenty of opportunity to dance.

Although I enjoyed her set and was impressed by how well written and produced a number of the tracks were, it wasn't my usual kind of show. KLP was dressed in black and her two band members were dressed in white. There were times when they would coordinate dance moves and it all came across as a little bit too corny and over-produced. They definitely embraced their pop music label but it wasn't something that appealed to me personally and was particularly strange to see at Black Bear Lodge better known for their beards and craft beers.
I left confused and bemused but had a good night with good company in one of my favourite bars, a couple of cocktails and some good old fashioned pop music.
