Geographer, aka Mike Deni, delighted fans with a full band, highlighted by blooming electric cello, jingling tambourine, beat-chugging synths, and galloping drums pouring out into the sonic space.

Not only did the group produce a sound so big that it felt like a revelation, frontman Mike Deni also worked extra-hard to engage the audience, asking for participation by way of hand clapping and gang vocals.

Currently touring in support of their 2012 release Myth, the band took the stage to a roaring applause and played a set prominently featuring the best songs from their small but sturdy repertoire.

Last night, Geographer headlined a show at the intimate and deliciously fragrant Globe Hall – and anyone who wasn’t there most certainly missed out. For a $17 ticket, you could catch not only Geographer but also local acts Foxxes and CRL CRRLL. Not to mention, you could also chow down on a rack of ribs while
