NXNP: Fing at The Office
Caught Fing at the Office as part of the NXNP showcases. They killed it. Okay, actually, the first song was a bit rough, but they settled in and brought it back hard. I think the small stage really had an affect on their lead singer, Pascal. He wasn’t able to roam around so it took away an element of what he does best. Pascal’s vocals are really a big part of what makes them interesting. There are quite a few songs where the vocals are processed - I’m no techie so I don’t know the proper terminology, but I’ve seen bands do this where they have a second mic setup that processes the vocals. So in some songs, you get Pascal’s processed voice, plus his falsetto and then his regular rock voice. Didn’t keep a set list but a few of the highlights were “Rock the Hips”, “Courageous Knight”, “Murderous Robot” and “Makin’ Some Soup”.
A note on the photos, I limited myself to the first three songs so I could enjoy myself. I kept my flash off on purpose to grab some shots that gave you a real feel for the vibe. Those shots would have been way better with a tripod, but you’re never gonna see me get to the point where I am carrying a tripod around. I did use flash for some shots of Pascal because I wanted some photos of him that showed his expressions during the set.
