Event Review: Skazi and Yahel @ Guv. June 6, 2009

This past Saturday was a night of epic proportions. The infamous Skybar, the roof top of Guvernment, opened up for the first time this summer and was pumping all night long. Manzone and Strong took over on the decks at 1 am and was accompanied with a grand fireworks display. Very impressive opening night.

While Manzone and Strong where killing it on the roof, Skazi and Yahel were destroying the Guv Main room. This dj/guitarist duo is not a widely popular act to the mainstream electronic scene, which adds more to their presence. Those who have seen them before knew what to expect, and those who have not were loving the unique guvernment experience provided by this duo. Regardless, they were awesome!

It is a rare opportunity to see electronic music being played in real time. We are talking live keyboard, live guitarists, live drum machine, etc.. You could feel the energy exuding off of the stage by these performers and it made the packed crowd go nuts. Maybe it was the hard and fast electronic music being played, or maybe the countless shots of Jack Daniels they were taking, but whatever the case Skazi and Yahel are amazing performers. I definitely recommend you put them on your "to see list." I know they are on mine, and I have already seen them twice.

If you feel the urge to let loose on the skybar or inside the guvernment complex, get at me for guestlist hook-ups @ 416-846-5626.
