Moneypenny

I was passing by one of the stages at Wicker Park Fest just as Moneypenny started their set in front of a group of about a dozen people. Quickly into their DJ set, the duo had attracted a much larger crowd and had people dancing as far back as the end of the block. A few weeks later at Lollapalooza, they had another large crowd moving and shaking during their DJ set before debuting some original dance/vocal pop compostions. The change of pace seemed drastic, and the performance was new and parts came off as slightly unpolished, but the songs were fun and kept the crowd interested. I am looking forward to hearing more in terms of their new direction, and in the meantime, I've been enjoying the free mixtapes.
