We've only been doing State of Sound since April and have welcomed 22 different acts to our Walker's Point studios since then. Please don't let that diminish the following statement:
Death Is a Business walked onto the stage for this episode and delivered the wildest, weirdest, wonderful-est performance we've had yet.
This was clear before the first note was played by the eclectic — and frequently rotating — bunch of gifted musicians. Lead vocalist Sonia Erika lingered on stage waiting for the show to begin, resplendent in a replica NASA spacesuit and feline face paint. When Kenny Perez turned things over to them, Erika greeted everyone with a speech right out of the Delta Airlines takeoff procedure handbook, except for the last part about our destination: Mars.
With the tone firmly set, the next 30 minutes were multilingual, musically adventurous and just plain trippy.
