Villa Maria College isn't the first place that the average person would choose for a concert. Not even a tribute concert. This is what Jason Pfaff is trying to do. Battle Battle is his version of a tribute to his late sister Kristen Pfaff, lead bassist of the band Hole. It's been three years in the making and a struggle at every step.

The auditorium might hold 750 people, but the amount that showed up in support of his remembrance efforts was not even a quarter of that. It's not that this concert was a complete bust with the lack of people, but more could have helped.

The setup, although for this particular venue seemed a little unstructured and improvised at times, which might have contributed to the lack of people. This didn't make for a bad concert, but that it might have been better with a little more preparation.

The music was generally "electronica" vocals based. This style of music is the use of computers, synthesizers and sometimes. It was interesting at times and completely new to me. I found it rather enjoying and would consider purchasing the Battle Battle album.

Jason told me that all that he does is "relative to time," and for the "pure love of it and not to be famous."

"I have ups and downs, but my angle of music is pursuing something different than anything else out there. I've built a foundation and I feel strong." Pfaff elated.

Surprises are hard to come by at concerts, but with Battle Battle and the dancers/performers that were chosen, it was unexpectedly pleasant.

The human body is complex, but when it bends, twists and flows like the dancers bodies did while they performed, it's an experience. They were like soft limbed trees touching and interweaving in the company of each other with the pulse of the songs.

The lineup of music was as assorted as a box of chocolate. With Ed Hallbourg, whose "electronica" style of music is beyond the normal limits of a beat.

Garry "Black Magic" Collins, who performed poignantly like a flamenco guitar player with the limerick words of poetess Rain Bethel-Cooper.

Along with the interpretive dance portion of the evening, there were also brief interludes of martial artistry with Chik Mason accompanying the music.

With the soulful voice of Eric Crittenden as the background vocals for Pfaff and his band, you might have thought that James Brown himself was onstage.

The evening ended with an improvised musical cavalcade accompanied by everyone in the audience being asked to get up and dance; which the majority of them did and it seemed like a fitting ending to the night.
