[ROCK] The BiPolaroids hatched last fall with a high profile debut at the Hotel Lafayette’s annual Witches Ball. The band consists of stalwart local mainstays Kristin and Dave Gilmet along with Sakura Paterniti, a la Global Village Idiots who, you may recall, quite nearly blew up a while back. Here, joined by Al Uthman and Justin Rowland of the Soul Butchers (and formerly the Cellars) on bass and drums, they take a cue from the After Hours Lounge Band, (which also features the Gilmets and Paterniti). The result is songwriting that melds new wave and post-punk with ironic, neo-jazzy flair. The Halloween set included nods to Blondie (“Dreaming”) and New Order (“Bizarre Love Triangle”). Watch them evolve on Friday, January 16 at Mohawk Place with the Vores, the Etchings and Cashier Smile.
