Empire of the Sun, 10.45PM Sun

There is no need to expect anything less than what Empire of the Sun will produce visually because whatever you can imagine will be matched and bettered.
Luke Steele lacks no fashion sense when it comes to his futuristic soldier outfit and prominent headdress. The stage dancers would also shine in the dark with their loud sparkly numbers. Its what can only be created within the heads of EOTS that is projected on the screen behind a large elevated performance platform and mixing desk surrounded by vertical lights.
Standing on the Shore, We are the People and a title that escapes me brings the happy crowd into their world and sounds nothing but solid. It also showcases some quick and impressive dancer costume changes.
What sound like many studio produced non album appearing tracks soon turn the display into an interactive DJ set that uses Luke's live vocals as the accent. The clever use of alternate microphones to alter his voice, a well structured feature.
Electronic ballad Without You brings the focus back onto the live element and loud cheers from moshing patrons reaffirms the support that this outfit has. Now focusing more on instrumental highlights a real cosmical feel is exuded before a short encore break.
This break works as a stroke of genius at re-igniting the crowd for a splendid display of more costume changes and stellar finale, Walking On A Dream.
Being the consummate professionals the only fitting farewell was a hand in hand linked bow.
Electronic pop fun at its full power!
