Supertaste brings its indie-dance set to The Echo in Echo Park. The Brooklyn trio is billed for the night, though the available information does not name individual members or indicate any guests, special presentation, release celebration, or other supporting details.
Supertaste describes itself as an indie dance band from Brooklyn, New York, while Bandcamp calls the group an indie dance trio. Their music draws on disco, funk and dance music, with groove-forward songs built from shimmering disco textures, funk guitar and distorted soulful vocals. Other descriptions point to sparkling synths, Chic-inspired guitar riffs and strong hooks, and the band has been dubbed “Power Disco.” Supertaste has worked with remixers including Jafunk, Love Language, James Juke, Psymon Spine, and Dylan C. Greene & 3kelves, and has released music through Future Disco. Earlier work drew support from The Knocks and Goldroom. Reviewers have called the band “terrific,” citing “lively performances and catchy rhythms” alongside a “dynamic stage presence.”
The Echo’s claim to fame is its track record as a launchpad for Los Angeles artists: its long-running Monday Night Music series helped early acts find an audience. Today it remains an active live-music club in Echo Park, in the upstairs room of a two-venue complex. The stage sits close to a compact general-admission floor, with a bar alongside; most events are standing, though seating may be available first come, first served, depending on the show. On-site food and drinks are available, and the venue recommends checking the individual listing for seating and age rules. Expect a ticketed gig with the crowd gathered around the performance, and room to step outside to the patio between sets. The venue is on Sunset Boulevard, amid Echo Park’s dining options.
