Update: Little Boots, Yes Giantess, Plastiscines

Friday, September 18th, 2009

This was the third time I got to see Little Boots ( see previous accounts: Fader Fort CMJ 2008 photo gallery; (Le) Poisson Rouge May 2009 review and photo gallery) and each time is definitely as fun as the last.

Update: Friendly Fires, The Phenomenal Handclap Band

Monday, August 17th, 2009

Friendly Fires played a corking set in the early hours of the night at (Le) Poisson Rouge after a really slow start due to a very long set-up time (it was all so involved, people started booing the empty stage after the half-hour mark). But once they hit the stride, the floor was bouncing happily along with “Skeleton Boy” and “On Board.”

The Phenomenal Handclap Band opened this show (The xx doing opener duty at next night’s Music Hall of Williamsburg gig). They were a lot of fun and did a good job of warming up the crowd. Too bad we were given time to cool off between sets.

Update: Girl in a Coma and Miss Derringer

Wednesday, June 24th, 2009

Last Friday, I got to cover the last of the Summerwood 2009 shows featuring Miss Derringer and Girl in a Coma for Popnography. Fun was had and I was home at a reasonable hour (always a plus!). The venue was only half full, but the show was energetic and the lights, fantastic.

Update: Little Boots

Friday, May 22nd, 2009

I first saw Little Boots during CMJ 2008 at the Fader Fort (photo set from the show) because it was the band everyone was talking about (or, at least, one of them).  It was exciting to see her again despite the fact that (Le) Poisson Rouge once again turned their space upside down. This time, instead of a dance floor full of tables and chairs, they rolled out a circular stage into the middle of it and we had to make do.
