Ghostland Observatory at McCarren Park Pool

Ghostland Observatory undeniably puts one of the most enigmatic and sexually charged performances out there. You have the singer Aaron Behrens whose dancing I would describe as "silky-smooth" while rocking mirror aviators, pigtail braids, and tight pants. He has some gender ambiguity going on, which he definitely works to his advantage. Then Thomas Ross Turner is alternating between banging on the drums and menacingly twisting knobs on his sampler while wearing a blue and purple cape. On stage, he looks half mad scientist and half Phantom of the Opera. Plus their music is fun to dance to, just don't try to steal any of Aaron's moves.
