Taking Care of Business!
by ChasingSammee on 10/17/10Webster Hall - New YorkOne word. DOPE! Mark Ronson & The Business INTL. KILLED last night at Webster Hall in the Village. This two level venue was swarming with roaring fans loosing themselves in each & every song. Tunes from all over the shop were played – Circuit Breaker, Just, Lose It (In The End), Ooh Wee, Oh My God, California, The Night Last Night, DJ Set, Bump / Race Riot, Introducing the Business, Sparrow / Fade To Black, Bang Bang Bang, God Put A Smile, Hey Boy, You Gave Me Nothing, Stop Me, Record Collection & for the grand finale The Bike Song & Valerie. The Business INTL is made up of Amanda Werner aka MNDR (loving her nerdy chic style & minimal-techno electro-pop sound), Alex Greenwald of Phantom Planet, Spank Rock (Naeem), Pill and Rose Elinor Dougall (a vintage style queen with an angelic voice). Bleach-blond ingenious uber-producer, Mark Ronson may have assembled this motley crew but they all took turns at the mic sharing duets & lead vocals. It was almost like watching a group of friends jamming out at a house party. And if that wasn’t enough throw in Q-Tip on Bang Bang Bang & Marsha Ambrosius (former member of Floetry, you know the Songstress) on Valerie to turn an already floor shaking show into an electrifying experience. Oh what a night! I fell in love with music & live shows all over again…
