Amazing energy filled SOhO tonight for the New
Noise Kick Off Party, and not all of it was coming off of violinist Lindsey
Stirling. With a screen behind her, armed with a violin and an electro savvy
band, Lindsey played her way through Africa, to Mordor, around crystal castles,
and down some dub-steps. The violin wailed songs new and old, while Lindsey
interpreted through choreographed dance. Although she was responsible for the
vibe, the crowd gratefully reciprocated through a dance of their own. It was a
unique experience, and a great way to kick off a festival bringing new music to
the masses of Santa Barbara.
