"Leeds is cool, huh?" singer Andrew VanWyngarden asked the crowd as the band took to the stage.

He subsequently ordered fans to make moving during set-highlight 'Electric Feel'. "You're gonna have to dance to this one," he told the crowd.

After a triumphant 'Kids' the crowd started loud chants of the song's synth hook which carried on long after the band left field the stage.

'4th Dimensional Transition'

Lizz Wright's discography:

Dreaming Wide Awake

Year: 2005

Tracks: 12

Vocalist Lizz Wright delivers a sensual R&B mathematical operation that's divinely layered in gospel and jazz, and keenly similar to the knead of Oleta Adams and Jill Scott. Wright was rude in early 1980 in the Georgia town of Hahira, and her musical tastes blossomed early on. Her forefather served as the piano player and musical music film director at the local church, and he encouraged his daughter to take in the soulful dispositions of classic hymns. Eventually, blue devils and jazz were added to Wright's musical plate, and by senior high school she was earning awards in myriad consort competitions. Wright was advent into her warm, unruffled vocalizing voice, so her decision to give pinna Georgia State in Atlanta to study vocalisation at a professional layer wasn't surprising. Atlanta became her home and her voice became her solace. In 2000, Wright coupled the vocal quartette In the Spirit. The group was quick hailed as the best malarky mathematical radical in the metropolis, motivating Wright to perfect her craft all the more than. Two age by and by, Verve inked Wright a manage. Her impressive telling expressive style was captured on her debut, Salt, the following natural springtime. Dreaming Wide Awake followed in June 2005.
