All City Affairs (aka Peter Andreadis of Baby Teeth) is as fun, catchy, and urban as anything contemporary, while remaining thoroughly modern in scope. Andreadis' extensive knowledge of samples and programming, as well as a wide variety of popular music, makes for a vibrant mash of rock, funk, reggae, post-rock, jazz, and hip-hop influences. The live recorded instrumentation of drums, horns, strings, guitars, also keeps the sound rooted, as tangible and honest as dance-floor sweat. And you will dance. All City Affairs reclaims the word "entertainment", washing it clean of the dirty connotations it has accrued from years of soulless abuse. Onstage, Andreadis performs solo, accompanied by his pre-recorded works. He spins, dances, leaps, bows, kneels, and commands a swinging microphone like a brown-locked Roger Daltrey. Best of all, the gimmick/kitsch level is nil. Though the songs are full of tongue-in-cheekiness, they are also possessed of an earnestness and humanity that are irrefutable, especially when witnessed in the flesh.
