Rockboy discovered this band at SXSW this year and I’d come to like them a lot too – I kept telling him that she sounded like some 70s singer… Janis Joplin… but that wasn’t quite right – it became suddenly and blatantly apparent seeing them live: the round expansiveness and tone of every note of her voice is verbatim Jefferson Airplane… Grace Slick – her voice is the band though the other aspects are just as appealing – she sits playing drums in the center while outputting this incredible voice flanked on each side by matching boys: lead and bass guitars – Rockboy describes them as a mix of White Stripes and The Yeah Yeah Yeahs which is accurate with the bluesy driving minimalism of the former and the feminine intensity of the latter – incredibly young crowd who of course could not understand in totality the greatness of this little band

Will Sheff of Okkervil River. As much as I like one of their songs, their show was dull as shit and Will Sheff was dull as shit. That self-consumed whine and a seeming conviction that he was saying something worthwhile.

no recollection, some old-timey rock country surely

We squirreled away to out seats during the opening act, Sparklehorse. We ended up hearing three songs and as far as I could tell, it was three songs too many.

The B-52′s have been hailed as the world’s best party band, and they lived up to the billing tonight. The tour was a double bill with The Pretenders but the B-52′s were slotted last. They were promoting a greatest hits set (the band’s latest studio effort was 1995′s Good Stuff which is already on the bargain shelf). Cyndi Wilson is back sharing harmonies with Kate Pierson, which is a good thing. Their particular vocal chemistry makes a huge difference, along with Keith Strickland’s guitar licks and whatever the hell Fred Schneider does.

The band invited a handful of fans to dance and bop on stage with them. Most of the stuff sounded like it came straight from the studio, but a off kilter version of Roam left a bad taste in my mouth, quickly vanquished by such classic tunes as Channel Z and Private Idaho. The two new tracks, Debbie and Hallucinating Pluto, fit right in.

John Cale opened the show and then stayed on stage to perform with the Creatures. Siouxsie took a break half way through the performance and gave the stage back to John Cale, much to my regret. Think Julian Cope (if that’s a helpful reference) or bad Lou Reed.
