After my traditional summer vacation hiatus from Charlotte's music scene my choice for first show to see as the new school year sets in was Stereofidelics performing at the Evening Muse Friday night. Chris Padgett and Melissa McGinley have added several songs to their set since releasing their newest CD titled "You Are Having A Wonderful Time". The group released this new CD 18 months after their debut CD titled "Only Sleeping" - an equally impressive work.
Like their debut CD, "You Are Having A Wonderful Time" was written, performed and produced by the Stereofidelics. This live-in-studio recording reflects the intense energy and instrumental talent possessed by both Chris and Melissa. The energetic musical style and individuality of each song which sets them apart from other bands was on display at the Evening Muse last night as well. Each song is unique and fresh with intense complexity that dazzles the ear!
Released on Rubberneck Records June 18th, 2010, "You Are Having a Wonderful Time" is yours to hear live as the Stereofidelics tour around the Southeast - including shows in Georgia, South Carolina, North Carolina and Virginia. Check out the schedule on their website and have a listen to the new album while you are there. It is truly fantastic!!
The duo were joined on the stage by Eric Mullis of the group Actual Proof playing the Vibraphone for a couple of songs. Eric's talent on this percussion instrument was a great addition to their sound. Actual Proof also performed the second set of the early show.
