Concert Review: Gustaf, August 19, Trillium Park

Posted on

New York’s Gustaf are currently touring behind their debut album, 2021’s Audio Drag for Ego Slobs, and that tour took them to Trillium Park this past Saturday night where the band headlined the second night of Wavelength‘s Summer Thing. And they made for great headliners, playing an incredibly fun set at the lakeside location.

“What you are watching is not an automobile,” said singer Lydia Gammill as she introduced her bandmates, giving each one the opportunity to showcase their chops as she did so. “It’s a Flintstone car operated by ten feet.”

As band-describing metaphors go, it’s a fairly apt one. Much like Fred Flintstone did while out for a drive, the Brooklyn-based five-piece propel themselves forward as one, taking the audience with them on a dancey, funky, post-punky journey that’s perfectly designed to engage and entertain. It’s quite the ride.

Audio Drag for Ego Slobs is out now via Royal Mountain Records.
