Choice, Etheric - http://www.metroplexity.com/images/portal.jpg
You push and elbow your way close to the stage. You're in range now to actually see the individual performers and the swirling disk of energy floating behind them.
The energy lashes around and through the singer, guitarist, and keyboardist. They don't seem to mind… quite the contrary, really. They stand as beings of energy, fed from the portal and feeding the portal.
Something seems… off, though. It's as though periodically the light will flicker and the three of them will just be people for a moment, then become energy once again.
Singer, Etheric - http://www.metroplexity.com/images/evil-singer.jpg
You watch their singer, well, it's not exactly singing that she does… it's more of an unearthly whispering. She crackles with a strange energy that seems to carry into her words.
You can't recognize the language, but somehow know the words speak of great promise and loss. It's a mournful sort of tale, a "look what we could have done, could have built."

Guitarist, Etheric - http://www.metroplexity.com/images/evil-guitarist.jpg
You edge in a bit closer to watch the guitarist. He stares out over the audience with a manic gaze, plucking at his guitar to create beautiful patterns of notes, each of them more beautiful than the last.
Even the patterns swallowed up under the swell of the music speak of strange wonders and bizarre mathematics.

Keyboardist, Etheric - http://www.metroplexity.com/images/emerald-gift-keybordest.jpg
The Emerald Gift's keyboardist is a being of sound and light. Energy flows out of him and into the crowd. You feel strangely invigorated.
The sounds are completely unearthly, you grope for a metaphor to explain, or even understand, them and come up short
