It’s hard to believe it’s been over ten years since Stereolab released Dots and Loops, and 18 years since the UK-based lounge/post-rock outfit first formed. Through numerous line-up changes and the untimely death of one its former members, the songwriting team at the head of the band, Tim Gane and Lætitia Sadier, has remained, and the group showed the large crowd gathered at the 9:30 Club on Tuesday that they still know how to command a great deal of attention. The set consisted of a lot of new material along with a handful of old favorites, opening up with a tight, bouncy version of “Percolator” from 1996’s acclaimed Emperor Tomato Ketchup.

Opener Atlas Sound, otherwise known as Deerhunter’s Bradford Cox, offered up a pretty, subdued set combining live guitar and looped drum and noise effects with an ethereal vocal performance. It wasn’t really the sort of set you need to see performed live to appreciate, but Cox clearly has a gift for this sort of dreamscape noise pop.
