Highland Kites and The Active Set at Harvard and Stone

Highland Kites

It was off to Harvard and Stone on a Wednesday night to catch a couple bands. Starting off the night was Highland Kites. There is a tenderness and heartfelt perspective in the vocals of the lead singer, Marissa. I also couldn't help noticing that the guitarist and bassist were having constant side conversations during song breaks. Each time, the guitarist would have a huge smile on his face. Now what were they discussing?

As I was walking towards Harvard and Stone, The Active Set was also heading towards the bar. As we crossed the street, one of the band members started to veer off in the wrong direction. The other members started to look at him, almost wanting to tell him, "Hey, you're heading in the wrong direction." When we got to the other side of the street, the guy walked over to a sleeping homeless person, tapped him on the shoulder, and handed him a container of food. Now that was a cool gesture.

So the lead singer is so tall that he needed to remove the microphone stand from the stage and put it on the boxes used in front of the stage that the monitors sit on.

FYI: The Active Set music is 75% melancholy.
