Love is All delivered a wildly entertaining set Saturday night at Market Hotel. The scene was sticky, hot, and sweaty — a sauna full of jubilant fans who made their way out in the thunder and lightning to see the band from Sweden play in Brooklyn. The storm brought significant downpours, but that did nothing to cool off the steaming temperature at Market Hotel.

Cause Co-Motion! and the excellent Vivian Girls opened up the show. Both bands turned in short and tight sets, equally showing significant promise in what led to a rather amazing night of music. Cause Co-Motion! reminded me of a cross between Elvis Costello and Gang of Four with their angular changes and tight syncopation. Vivian Girls are a three-piece from Brooklyn who have been described as sounding like “The Ronettes produced by Kevin Shields“. I am all about these girls. Expect a lot more about them in the very near future.
