Fun Stuff > BAND
The "How are they live?" thread
SensoryOssuary:
I saw the Fiery Furnaces on their keyboard-less tour, and was a bit disappointed after loving the recordings of their medley shows. The band was really tight, though. I just wish they would have kept some of the dynamics from their albums instead of rocking at full speed and volume for the entire show.
I saw Cat Power at a festival doing mainly songs from The Greatest. The band was incredible (two guitarists, bassist, drummer, two back-up singers, string quartet), but her vocal performance couldn't even hope to match up with the music, in my opinion. I hate to say it, but she was better when she did the whole "depressed drunk melodrama" thing live.

I saw Sonic Youth at the Moore (crappy venue, good band) they fucking blew me away. The whole noise break down thing is a lot better live, when you can hear all the little nuances. Plus as Newton put it Noise+Strobe Light=Awesome.
Does anyone know what the Blood Brothers, the New Pornographers, or Spoon are like live? I'm seeing them at Bumbershoot in september.

Hells yeah-saw them in Toronto last year & they were great....so was Metric. I can attest to Ted Leo & the Pharmacists' awesomeness live. I saw Feist open for Bright Eyes & listening to her live made me an instant fan.
Also curious about Thee Silver Mt. Zion Orchestra etc. as I am going to see them in late August.
