Kings Barcade played host to a night of brilliant acts hand selected by Megafaun to open for what would be the band’s final show for quite a while. The night wasn’t really seamless - there were set changes and downtime just like every other venue - but during the sets of the electronic artists, there where no breaks.

The crowd drifted in and out all night. The experimental and patient nature of these artists rewarded those who stayed with an open mind. This wasn’t the type of show to just drop in on.

Things kicked off with Megafaun improvising an ambient tune on stage. Phil Cook was on guitar, Joe Westerlund on drums and Brad Cook operated a laptop and sampler. The resulting song was sparse and open. Some drones came from the sampler, singular guitar notes hung in the hair and the drums were brushed as lightly as possible.
