When Australian electro darling Chet Faker visited Mack Sennett Studios on Saturday for the penultimate show in Red Bull’s 30 Days in LA series, he brought his bearded self, his gear and the songs from his breakout debut “Built on Glass.” The solo show was plenty to satiate an adoring audience – almost all female in the front of the room – but the 26-year-old, born Nicholas James Murphy, lamented the fact that the way things are in music right now, there are not a lot of possibilities for the musician to “f*ck up” because sometimes they just have to push a button. The possibility of screwing up, he added, is what makes a live show great. So he played an improvised song that had never been done before. He also covered “No Diggity” and was joined by rapper GoldLink for their collaboration, “On You.” Brooklyn duo Denitia and Sene preceded opened with a set of their electronic R&B, and Echo Park indie-rockers James Supercave played songs off their debut EP “The Afternoon” and previewed material from their forthcoming full-length.
