YACHT’s show at San Francisco’s The Independent was as expected from the band — lively, impulsive, personalized, and intriguing. San Francisco is a befitting place for the sort of spontaneity and lunacy that only Evans and Bechtolt can bring. Every feature of their performance is carefully realized and indicative of the concepts that the band wants to propose. All members of the band wear black, except for Evans, who wears white. Before their performance of “The Afterlife”, Bechtolt unveiled a prepared PowerPoint presentation titled “This is the World”, where the venue and its grounds were declared a T.A.Z., or a “Temporary Autonomous Zone”. As Evans stated, “You don’t have to do anything because it’s already happening.” The show was about the present, the parody of fate, of the fact that the passages of time, space, emotion, happiness, love, and music are not predestined but simply happen. And there is a beauty to this, a beauty that is articulated in every gyration, lurch, stumble, and scream made by Evans. Their music has evolved since Bechtolt’s solo project in 2004, Super Warren MMIV, to this year’s Shangri-La, possibly one of the more original and influential compositions of the year. YACHT’s music is good, and it only gets better, but experiencing a live concert by the band is literally seeing its creators depict and revolutionize their music like it’s never been done in the past and will never occur again in the future. Every experience is unique, a particle of time — and that’s exactly how YACHT wants it. Read More: Live Review of YACHT at San Francisco’s The Independent
