Subversive, experimental pop by saxophonist Stephen Rodes Chen (San Fermin, Ghost Funk Orchestra). Indelibly catchy melodies soar over driving, 80s-inflected beats, and mesmerizing instrumental passages trade off with hard-hitting lyrics. Social commentary and introspection surround the central, provocative question: is it even possible to be a good person? Chen and singer/keyboardist Amy Beth Anders take turns examining that question from many angles as the emotional intensity builds, song after song.

Behaviorist will be debuting an experimental electronic set at Mama Tried and celebrating the recent release of their double-feature “Fuck LA” / ”I Love LA.”
