Located on the north end of the city square, King Dough is Bloomington\u2019s bourgie-hipster pizza spot, the type of place that offers a pizza topped with grapes, bleu cheese, and honey (which I highly recommend), alongside charcuterie and local craft beer. Drawing from an industrial aesthetic and open kitchen concept, King Dough has a large main room and a much smaller bar tucked away at the back of the restaurant. It was in the back room where I saw Lindsy, Evening Glow, Junk Bomb and High Fiber perform last Thursday.<\/p>\n

Opening the evening\u2019s set was the psychedelic lo-fi local group Lindsy, comprised of Tommy Muldowney (bass and vocals), Patrick Maloney (guitar and vocals), Brett Hoffman (drums), and Nina Pitchkites (keys and vocals). The band’s shoegaze-inspired performance entailed airy melodies, spaced-out pedal affects, and multi-layered instrumental textures delivered in a mood that was technically cerebral yet casually distant. Being one of the two local bands hosting the event, Lindsy set an informal tone for the night. After finishing their second song, guitarist Patrick Maloney observed, \u201cWell, that went about as poorly as it could have \u201d- not that anyone either noticed or cared about whether or not that was true. Still a relatively new group, “Nod Head” is the only single Lindsy has released thus far, via Soundcloud.<\/p>\n
