Fun Fun Fun Fest review: Vega
Alan Palomo leads two bands, Vega and Neon Indian, both of which appeared on the same stage Saturday, about three hours apart. Vega, the more accessible of the two groups, went first, with Palomo wasting no time getting out in front with a microphone. With only an EP’s worth of material to work with, the band isn’t terribly developed. Palomo’s songs aren’t as catchy as some of his synth-happy contemporaries, but he nevertheless kept the crowd engaged with driving dance pop. Perhaps the best surprise of the set was the band’s guitarist (he also played bass on a couple songs). Ripping across Palomo’s disco soundscapes, the guitar work added depth to the songs and helped separate the group from the million other similarly electronically minded wannabes.
