Music: Playfight performs Wed., Oct. 22, at 8 PM

Playfight_WebPlayfight performs at the Best Video Performance Space on Wednesday, Oct. 22. The music starts at 8 PM and the cover is $5.

PlayFight is a new indie-pop duet from New Haven, CT, featuring Sara-Joy and Lamont. They will be releasing their first single STREAMS in October of 2014.

Their original music is somewhat A.D.D allowing them to keep listener’s attention. Some songs would fit seamlessly into an old black and white movie, others are more energetic and playful, while their mid-tempo songs tend to be relaxed and would fit nicely onto a vacation or summer mix.

Through lyric and sound, they seek to transcend the unimaginative and get the audience singing and dancing—feeling alive and free to let go. They may then shift to a more serious or melancholy topic, one that is equally moving in a completely different way. Lamont’s humanitarian and environmental pursuits paired with Sara-Joy’s deep desire to connect with others makes them a loving force on and of the stage. They are not to be missed.
