JUNGLE

You found this. Be the first one here.

Some records are built for a room where everyone gives up on looking cool at the same moment. Jungle have spent a decade making exactly that: falsetto-stacked, horn-driven dance music that sounds like a seventies soul revue rebuilt by people who grew up on house, and a live show that is less a band performing than a dance troupe occupying a stage. The choreography is the thing people are unprepared for. Their videos are single-take dance pieces and they bring that discipline into the building, so what you get is not four people behind laptops but a stage full of bodies moving in formation while the low end rearranges your chest. RIO KOSTA opens. Their last two records leaned further into the disco end of it, so the set list has become a genuinely good argument rather than a greatest-hits walk. This is the show to bring the friend who claims they do not dance, because the room makes the decision for them. Saturday October 10, on stage at a quarter to eight, downtown.
