Watch Superorganism Perform “Everybody Wants To Be Famous”.

Then the diminutive lead vocalist Orono Noguchi joined them in what had to be the most comfortable outfit in the venue (sweatshirt, sweatpants, and slides). With a near emotionless gaze as she prepared to perform, her whole aesthetic could only be described as “terminally chill.” But as the self titled song of their self titled album began, she instantly mesmerized the crowd with an intangible magnetism that kept the audience charmed and dancing the rest of the night.

Superorganism’s songs translate to a live setting amazingly well. The grooves feel funkier, the lyrics seem more frolicsome, the drums knock harder, and the sing alongs become sing songier. They combine the animated whimsy of The Presidents of the United States of America with the concise songwriting of Pavement. Their stage show is thoroughly entertaining. It included a 5 minute Q&A interlude with Orono, synchronized dance moves throughout, and having as many people from the audience that could possibly fit on stage joining them for the finale.
