S U R V I V E at the Echoplex on 10.06.16

S U R V I V E perform under the cover of darkness at the Echoplex on 10.06.16.
I've got a bit more energy than I thought for this late afternoon/evening. So I'm going to dust off this partially written post for S U R V I V E's Echoplex performance from Oct. 2016, and finally wrap it up. Let's get started ... and/or finished.I was first introduced to Austin's deep synth quartet …

Krystal Klear’s “Division Ave”

My authoring skills are not fully up to snuff this eve. So I'm gonna keep it brief.

“Feel the Rush Tonight” with Lazerhawk & Gunship

Lazerhawk's 2017 album "Dreamrider," featuring the Gunship collaboration "Feel the Rush Tonight."
After a few days away, I'm going to step back into the blog with some '80s inspired synthwave from two of the genre's most influential names, Lazerhawk and Gunship.
