R&B/funk ensemble Aftah Party walked away with the fourth round of the Square Room's Sound Off competition on Wednesday night. The nine-piece band, featuring local piano giant Donald Brown's sons Keith and Kenneth, laid down some nasty grooves and propelled the biggest crowd in the competition's four-month history into a massive wave of dancing.
Aftah Party finished ahead of Grandpa's Stash, who nailed a version of Radiohead's long and complicated "Paranoid Android," acoustic Americana trio Kelsey's Woods, jam band Ga-Na-Si-Ta, and bluegrass pickers Big Country's Empty Bottle. (The latter band set a record for the longest Sound Off set ever--each group gets time for three songs, and BCEB stretched their three out with some bening instrumental jams. That record was later broken by Ga-Na-Si-Ta.)
