The Tartan Online: What happens when an elementary school Spanish teacher and a hardcore guitarist decide to form a musical duo? In this case, Sleigh Bells was born.
On Saturday night, the duo performed at Carnegie Mellon with an accompanying guitarist, delivering a show complete with loud music, energy, and a spectacular lights show. While the concert was high quality and enjoyable to a wide audience, Sleigh Bells’ music is definitely catered to a specific taste.

NOISE POP IS CERTAINLY AN ACCURATE DESCRIPTION OF SLEIGH BELLS MUSIC, AND 'LOUD' HARDLY ILLUSTRATES THE ATMOSPHERE OF THAT ROOM. AT ONE POINT THE SOUND RIG WAS PUSHING OUT ROUGHLY 115-120 DECIBELS. HOWEVER, LIKE THE WRITER SAYS, THIS IS DEFINTELY MUSIC TAILORED TOWARD A NICHE AUDIENCE. IN ADDITION THE WRITER ATTEMPTS TO DESCRIBE THE AUDIENCE AT ONE POINT DURING THE CONCERT;
"There was a circle of students running into each other, and at one point, it felt as if the audience was pushing on itself from every direction."
ALTHOUGH, THEIR DESCRIPTION AGAIN FALLS SHORT, AS WHAT I THINK THEY MEAN TO SAY IS THAT THIS CIRCLE ENGULFED 1/3 OF THE CROWD IN A RAUCOUS, MOSH-PIT.
ALL IN ALL, AS A LONG TIME SLEIGH BELLS FAN I GIVE THIS CONCERT AN 8 OF 10. THE LIGHTING WAS NOTHING SHORT OF FLASH BANG AUDIENCE BLINDING SHOW AND THE SOUND, WELL WAS SLEIGH BELLS...
