The Independent – San Francisco

Futuristic hip-hop beats entranced The Independent last Friday, as Seattle-based production duo Blue Sky Black Death headlined the intimate venue, putting its unique mixture of live instrumentation and sampling on full display. It’s been almost a year since Kingston Maguire (better known as just “Kingston”) and Ian Taggart (aka “Young God”) last performed in the City, merely just weeks before releasing their fourth full-length album Glaciers in October. Yet, the twosome has kept churning new tracks out, including an unofficial remix of Frank Ocean’s 2012 single “Pyramids” in mid-February. Marc Fong took in the crowded show, capturing the best moments of the night.
