Dãm-Funk – 

A few moments before Dãm-Funk took to the Bates Stage, there were lots of tapings on mics, snare drums were tested and the crowd became unruly. But lead singer Damon came out and began to croon into the mic, “This will take just a few more minutes,” in his best singsong voice, serenading the entire crowd. Not many guys can come out and say, “give us 5” and melt panties and make bros go, “I’m cool with that.” And lets not forget the keytaur. There were times when his voice, the instrument at his hip and the percussions behind him fought for the foreground and then it would dissipate and all would be forgiven as the keytaur soared. At times Damon would throw it over to the drums or the keyboards to his back. He’d promise we were going to outer space and knobs were turned and synths would ripple throughout the crowd and yes, space debris did hit a few people.
