Last month I went to the Pretty Lights show at the Charlottesville Pavilion with two friends. Pretty Lights is the musical genius of DJ Derek Vincent Smith. His electronic sound fuses hip-hop, funk and soul through a variety of sampling and mixing techniques. And the best part, is the amazing light show that is synched to the beat of the music.
The crowds at these shows tend to dress up like day-glow hipsters. Lots
of neon, lots of tutus, bright colored leg warmers, rainbow sequins.
My attempt at fitting into the scene was a pair of neon green shorts, a
bright orange t-shirt, and a vintage Chanel over-the-shoulder handbag.
Naturally.
We had a great time, despite the tight crowd and the occasional
belligerent teenage tweaker bumping into us and spilling a spiked
drink. Check out the Pretty Lights tour dates and grab tickets to see a
show near you. It's a ton of fun.
