Small Band, Big Sound

Miami based female indie duo Steph Taylor and the State Of are rockin’ the two-story house-turned-restaurant/pub DaDa Friday night at 11. Expect to see two girls sitting side-by-side, framed by the rather large instruments they play, piano and drums. But don't expect the percussive equivalent of an acoustic show — these two make a lot of noise with what they've got. "People who see us are often surprised by what two people can do with a drum set and a piano," says the band’s lead singer Steph Taylor. "We'll fool you into thinking you're hearing a four piece band."
