Aqueduct
Artist: Aqueduct
Hometown: Seattle
Venue: Day show at Emo’s Annex, Friday
Pre-show buzz: One-man “bedroom band” becomes full-fledged live act
High point: Gotta love a band with its own theme song. (“Who wanna rock with the Aqueduct … I’ll make you jump around like an awkward duck.”)
Low point: Primus frontman Les Claypool, spotted in the crowd, didn’t join them onstage.
Department of Unneccessary Covers: The Pointer Sisters’ “I’m So Excited,” turned into a kind of halfhearted torch song.
Afterthoughts: Seeing songwriter David Terry in this format, with bandmates to help with the hand claps and dueling keyboard choruses, was a lot more interesting than seeing him alone on an empty stage with only a bank of samplers to give support.
