In just their second performance in the District, the Arizona-based jam quartet delivered two sets of "electrofunk therapy," their particular blend of prog-rock, funk, metal, and dance grooves with a heavy dose of extended improvisation. The DC-based band, Of Tomorrow, kicked off the festivities, getting the crowd warmed up with an excellent set of  funk, soul, and a hint of psychedelia. Of Tomorrow had the audience dancing throughout their opening set, and performed to a nearly full room. Following a pair of recent gigs supporting Big Something, this local DC act is gaining some steam and helped set the tone for a great night of high energy party music.

Opening the first set with "Double Time," Spafford's singer and guitarist, Brian Moss, sang "Deep breath, cut the lights, and then we start the show," as the band dove into a song that shifts between slow funk and dark, heavy instrumental breaks that showcased Moss's ability to shred like a heavy metal guitarist, while bassist Jordan Fairless and keyboardist Andrew "Red" Johnson provided thumping bass lines and textured layers with piano and organ. "Lovesick Melody > Soil" provided the first jam of the night, beginning in a rhythmic, funky space before drummer Cameron Laforest offered a series of upbeat, syncopated drum fills that inspired Moss to lead the jam with a patient guitar solo that reached a series of peaks, each more fast-paced and intense than the previous one. Following the raucous jam from "Soil," the band slowed things down with a cover of Alex Clare's synth-pop, dubstep hit, "Too Close."
