Set that crown on the ground, and listen up.

Sometimes the size of the stage is inversely proportionate to the size of the performance. Such was the case with Sleigh Bells, or should I say Slay Fucking Bells, Thursday night at Respectable Street (my aforementioned, most frequented haunt). The crunk - rock - electro duo from Brooklyn performed to a sold out audience, crammed into the inferno that was the dance-floor. "Florida is fucking hot!" shouted vocalist Alexis Krauss, which was a bit of an understatement; but that did not stop her from throwing herself all over the stage and into the audience while guitarist Derek Miller understatedly played perfect guitar alongside her. Other bands that played included Goolsby, Nerve City and Po - Po.

Immediately after Sleigh Bells finished their last song, Crown on the Ground, resident DJ JJ Contramus segued into Major Lazer - Pon de Floor. And, as bloody hot as it was, people remained on the dance-floor and continued shaking their bums for the rest of the night.
