Surrounded by retro arcade games and pinball machines, solo-act Digisaurus busted a move to his own retro wave of pop music at the Time Out arcade bar Saturday night. Digisaurus co-headlined the four-day Maximum Ames Music Festival, a celebration of music and culture in downtown Ames.

Hometown boys, Honeygold began the evening with a moody atmosphere and dynamic vocalization. The trio displayed aggression, somberness and promise during their set.

Local band, Great Caesar’s Goat rocked the house with gritty passionate vocals, groovy bass lines and story-driven tunes. The band incorporated elements of blues, country and classic rock in a master class on instrumentation and song writing.

Digisaurus put on a spectacle of a solo performance with a guitar, keyboards, synthesizers, drum machines, lights and a smoke machine. Digisaurus layered looping chord progressions, guitar riffs and musical samples under catchy poppy lyrics.

Digisaurus had fearless enthusiasm in his performance. His songs took on different moods from sassy, to sexy, to angry, but all with a danceable, chill, electronic sound.
