SEPT 18, 2014. BY JOSHUA JAMES AMBERSON. Anything Lisa Schonberg touches is gold. More than just a great drummer, she uses drums as compositional tools that have made bands like Explode into Colors and Kickball great. Always in demand, she’s drummed for Mirah, Tune-yards, Tara Jane O’Neil, the Need, and Thao and the Get Down Stay Down, just to name a few. But it’s the rare Secret Drum Band performance that brings her into the spotlight. Composing with the space in mind, Schonberg brings together a surprise star-studded cast of five drummers and two noise/tone/sound makers to create an experience unlike any other. Plus: Futuristic costumes by Heather Treadway and live drawing by local artist Leif J. Lee. Tonight’s also the record-release show for local synth-wavers DoublePlusGood’s winning new full-length, a collection of wistfully romantic pop perfectly suited for dancing—either on the dance floor, or alone in front of the mirror.
