If Nintendo commissioned LA noise rockers HEALTH to score their next Mario Kart release, the soundtrack would sound something like Lemonade. Lemonade was formed 3 years ago sounding very much like HEALTH; the music on their latest album is more developed structurally and has considerably more concrete melodies. While one can debate that HEALTH could be danced to, I would argue it be something more along the lines of head-bangings and epileptic fits, whereas Lemonade can be grooved to in more conventional forms of dance. The main driver in their music is definitely the drums, performed by a drummer who has a penchant for changing into shorts right before the show so no beat will be constricted by the skinny pants he was fashioning pre-show. The San Francisco trio jammed through Rainbow Road, taking only a couple of people along for the ride at the beginning of the show, but by then end, the Party Kart became a fully loaded Party Bus, with many limp bodied Dentonites trying hard to NOT act like they are enjoying the show.
