The Larimer Lounge featured bands Black Gold and Lydia this past Saturday to a small group of dedicated fans and people out to have a few drinks and see a cheap show.

Hearts Like Lions warmed up the stage.

The audience was still in the process of strolling into the venue while they played. More people enjoyed their drinks at the bar than on the dance floor.

Joshua James came on next. He lacked a solid stage presence, wearing mountain boots, with his pants tucked in. He looked like he was ready to chop wood more so than being ready to play a show.

He did not say a word before starting to play. It was hard to tell if this was the act. When James started to play, the other guy on stage looked as though he was still in the process of tuning his guitar.

The music played by the duo was fairly quiet, with two guitars and one singer, making it easy to hear the conversations from everyone around.

In the middle of the set, James introduced one of his songs, then did a rendition of “You Are My Sunshine,” giving the kids’ song a grown-up, acoustic feel.

Black Gold got the audience as excited as they would get that night. The most people during the night were on the dance floor for its disco beats. Not too many people danced, but there was a scattered group that tossed their arms around and waved to the sound of the music.

Their music provided disco-like beats that made it easy for people to at least move around.

A small group of women showed their appreciation for the music forming a mini train on the floor in front of the band.

During one of the song breaks, they asked the audience if they liked glow sticks. The answer was an obvious yes, as people waved their drinks in the air and cheered. Then they threw out some glow sticks into the crowd, with Black Gold written on them, a little souvenir for the few people who caught them or cared to pick them off of the ground.

The drummer pleaded with the audience to purchase their album, specifically on vinyl. Some, including the singer laughed at the request

Then, the six people in the band Lydia crowded the stage. It did not look as though there was enough room for them and their instruments

Lydia played very dreamlike-sounding music, in which everything seemed to flow together.

The amount of people on the dance floor decreased while Lydia played.

Many departed during their set or went back to the bar. Lydia continued to play for the dedicated supporters.
