The room was eerily dark as Mike Posner stepped onto the stage at the House of Blues on the Sunset strip last night. At first note, I soon became awash in a sea of slackened hipsters and screaming sorority girls alike. Intensely illuminated by the blinding backlight produced by an army of iPhone’s intent on capturing the moment for posterity, ie. Facebook’s sake. Fear not, for up on stage Mike was not by his lonesome either. His usual accompanying turntable and the all too familiar platinum clamshell were nowhere to be seen, but in their stead set a full 7 piece band. With “Baby Face” Posner at the helm we were all taken for a cruise through some of his favorite mix-tape selections, current Billboard hits, and even took a turn at a some old skool covers like ELO’s “Evil Woman.” Just when the crowd became thirsty for more, he wet the whistles of the parched passengers on this Love Boat de Posner.
