Seattle-based dance duo LawnChair Generals operate on a principle similar to many jocks/producers on the Left Coast: keep it clean and keep it soulful. So, yeah, there’s nothing terribly original about Carlos Mendoza and Peter ChrFrom LCG’s MySpace page.LawnChair Generals play Sat. at Waid’s. 10 p.m. $10-$13.istianson’s sound, but there’s nothing offensive about it, either. They’re musical masseuses–their warm arrangements have a soothing effect. Tracks build and dissolve with a comforting regularity. When vocals exist, the singers do the usual mindless repetition of essentially meaningless pop phrases common to electronic music (“take only what you need,” et al), riding the beat like a surfer in thigh-high seas. LawnChair Generals make the dance floor bubble, not roil. Your parents could listen to this. In other words, the guys make good, simple music, and not only is that just fine, but for their 10-year anniversary tour launch luau tonight at Waid’s Love In, it’s just right.FYI: The promoter recommends you buy advance tickets here.
