MisterWives starts Day 2 with exotic rock

Sunday began smartly with Brooklyn indie rockers Mister Wives. They played an exotic brand of rock with subtle hints of Romany and Japanois.

They brought an already simmering afternoon to a rapid boil with. "Imagination Infatuation," a brassy jam.

Brazen reheaded singer Mandy Lee has an intriguing voice, somewhere between Karen O and Björk.

"We were expecting 10 people," she enthused to a growing crowd at the Skate Park Stage. "This is awesome."

MisterWives' live act was far jauntier than their atmospheric debut EP Reflections might suggest.
