I last saw Battles 4 summers ago at Central Park. That was when Tyondai Braxton was still with them. I was curious as to how the band would sound live without him, but was never really worried. At the core, the band is still the same, they just have no live vocals to work with. They just play the pre-recorded vocals and continue to bend mind with their experimental jams.
Only caught the last tier of their set, but it was a solid set that proved to me that the band is doing just fine as a trio.
