I blinked my eyes, wondering if his emotional mugging stance was political or if he just wanted to get a reaction from his listeners. Ty suddenly called out, “Mommy why did you leave me?” and his stature of weirdness was tangible. Crawling back onto the stage, he slapped his mask back on as ambulance sirens blared out from Wand’s synth player, Cory Hanson. He even jumped into the crowd at one point, standing up with wide eyes, drawing out his Sloppo character and falling into the arms of ecstatic fans. “I am emotional mugger / Like a bag of candy / I’ll give you pleasure / If you’ll eat me,” Ty droned into the microphone, watching fans push one against another. Songs from his most recent album, “Emotional Mugger,” seamlessly fell apart as each member broke down the melodies, whether it be on synth or guitar - and Ty remained the director of this carnival ride, bringing each piece together again. The moniker song of this album featured rumbling lyrics, clashes of guitars, and deep synths.
