It has got to be special to drag me out to the east side of Downtown. Really special. Downtown is a mystery to me even after all these years.  Downtown on a random Thursday evening? Yet there I was last night, determined not to miss The Polyamorous Affair at Bordello. Like A fool, I got there an hour  early before the first band even went on and sat myself at the bar, sipping Whiskey just to make sure I would not miss them. Again. Just a few words on what I experienced last night.

Simply put, the duo known as The Polyamorous Affair is a band on a mission. It is as if they are determined to achieve a past success but with a deeper appreciation for what it will feel like this time. Driven in the background by dueling dj’s lacing the beat that would move an AARP convention, The Polyamorous Affair is trying to build a sound, a movement all its own. Driven by an organic approach to music that lets them create, produce, and deliver their own, unique brand of pop-infused, pulsating dance music, the duo, headed by Eddie and Sissy are cultivating a sound that moves people to actually put their drinks down and dance. They stand behind their music, asking people to come along with them for a little part of their night as they take you on a music journey that just makes you feel good.

As I sat there listening to The Polyamorous Affair last night, I envisioned an LA Band that will need to leave us for a bit as they take their sounds and mission to other cities across the US. If a movement, one that brings more and more people into its grasp is too survive and flourish, then The Polyamorous Affair is on its way to attracting loyal followers to its cause. A cause that is evident by a band that goes into another zone as they perform, in a trance like state of fun, energetic, and tight music that leaves you wanting more, and more.

I am now glad I had missed their last few shows in Los Angeles. Listening to The Polyamorous Affair last night made me appreciate them even more, made me forget all that was on my mind, and even made me forget I was in Downtown by myself. Good music does that. It can be a beautiful escape that opens you open to new things, people and emotion. I got all of that last night listening to them. Music has got to do that, make us escape into a realm previously unknown to us and The Polyamorous Affair succeeds in helping us along the way by showing us something new and vibrant. After all, that is all I really want from music and last night The Polyamorous Affair delivered, turning me into an even bigger fan. Stay tuned because they have upcoming shows and we will let you know via Loudvine.com. Go out and see them, feel what I did last night, a positive force, The Polyamorous Affair.
