Murray lightburn chords3/17/2023 ![]() ![]() ![]() Ben has been replaced by Phil Karnats (Guitars). The Secret Machines had their minute share of member changes as Ben Curtis (Guitars) moved on to form the School of Seven Bells. The new line up seemed to reinvigorate Murray and Natalia as evidenced by their gripping set. ![]() Murray and the band were shaking hands with signing a few autographs as the cheers for an encore was silenced by the DJ spinning some more tunes. Murray would later don the keytar for the bass notes of "Meltdown In A Major" to close out their set. The slow quiet intro to "Demons" later would ignite into a fiery guitar solo as the band exonerated the audience of their demons. "Lost In The Plot" sounded as intricate as the recorded version while Murray had a death grip on the microphone stand as he sang. Laura Wills (Keyboards) and Natalia both had a Roland Fantom X6 keyboard in their setup but Natalia had a Nord Electro underneath the Roland keyboard. In the live setting, Murray's voice shines brighter while being backed by bandmates. Murray's voice is definitely the centerpiece of all of their songs. The lyrics to "Money Babies" resonated as strongly meshed with its accompanying music as Murray emphatically sang "Our money is elastic".

They label their music as grime, but it was more of a damaged art electro punk vibe. I wasn't expecting screaming lyrics, distorted bass lines and glitchy keyboards. The Bathroom Murders seemed to be a little out of place on the bill. The Dears recently released Missiles on Dangerbird Records, while The Secret Machines put out their third album Secret Machines. Two bands with significant member changes appeared at The Key Club while promoting their new albums. ![]()
