Chairlift formed in Boulder, Colorado in 2006. Frequenting the
Broker Inn on the edge of town for empty late-night jazz shows, Caroline Polachek, Aaron Pfenning and Patrick Wimberly were mystified by the 1980’s faux-gothic architecture, oak-cabinet aquariums, vacant dancefloors, fake trees, crystal chandeliers and dark velveteen booths.
Relocating to Brooklyn in the summer of 2006, the trio continued on to develop a hypnotic yet tongue-in-cheek style, playing shows around Brooklyn and the Lower East Side with a thriving society of experimental pop magicians including
MGMT,
Yeasayer,
Suckers, and
Mixel Pixel.
Also on stage here tonight are Calgary indie rock band
Women, whose eponymous debut appeared to much critical acclaim last year - all fast-paced, constantly changing and concise arrangements backing up Patrick Flegel's charismatic vocals.
