This was the second Grates show I attended at Pianos this month (see photos from the first) and the last show of their residency. It was the best of the two, by far.

The Grates at Pianos; July 29th 2009

Charlotte Sometimes was the first on stage and has one set of pipes on her, Buenos Dias were a little too instrumental for my taste, and The Whims were the embodiment of indie pop (re: very enjoyable and lighthearted).
