I had the chance to see the first ever NYC show Wild Beasts performed yesterday at Joe’s Pub. Having never been to the space, I was surprised by just how much of a pub/restaurant it is. I think I ended up being seated in the “reserved” section on a very comfy couch. Let me tell you, after so many shows where I have to stand for hours, this was a very nice change.
The show was fairly low key (and the lights were appropriately terrible) as most people were taking advantage of the dinner menu. I quite enjoyed the latest album from the UK band and it translates well live. If you get a chance to see them, do it, they’re not as strange-sounding as the record seems to indicate.

Next up: A review + photo set of the Bowery Little Boots with Yes Giantess and Plasticines, if the guestlist comes through. And I did an interview with Todd Goldstein of Harlem Shakes about his solo project ARMS, so look out for that on Flavorwire.
