Despite the fact that it was Halloween weekend in a college town, Emo’s was packed with a crowd of bloodthirsty indie rock fans. Upon arriving at the typically unthinkable hour of 8pm I was greeted by a line of fans at the door for the outside stage of Emo’s. Dress ranged from homemade Voxtrot t-shirts to “hipster casual” to Santa Claus costumes.

The early show started late at 9:30 PM with local act Yellow Fever. The band features Jennifer Moore of Voxtrot and Isabel Martin along with drummer Adam Jones. Yellow Fever couldn’t seem to sit still, switching up instruments for the first few songs. Calling on the indie pop gods for inspiration, Yellow Fever caused audience members to recall bands such as the Beat Happening with their straightforward lyrics and simple yet catchy melodies. Without too much talk, the band played flawlessly through almost every song on their recently self-released and adorably packaged 20 minute long CD-R.
