Saw Circles Around the Sun last night. Mainly went for opener, Mikaela Davis, who was stunning on the harp.
Circles was fine, but I can only take instrumental jam bands for so long. No Neal Casal didn't help either. RIP.

Won TenClub tix in the lottery draw for Camden. Crap venue, but we will be there. Fingers crossed for Hamilton, ON and MSG (no chance)

Bob Weir and the Wolf Bros + The Wolf Pack tonight in Columbus at the beautiful Palace Theatre. Now, I've been one to dig on Bobby for his guitar tone with Dead & Co (and the first time I saw him and the Wolf Bros as just the trio). But holy guacamole the Wolf Pack adds everything that was missing. Cello, violin, trombone, trumpet, and sax, along with a pedal steel and of course Jeff on Keys. The sound is rich, the jams are spicy, and Bobby guitar tone is buried under the layers of sound.
Had a dream set tonight. Unbelievable energy. After the last Wolf Bros show I said I was done with solo Bobby. Welp, I'm back in, headfirst.

Amazing night with Bright Eyes. The orchestra added a lot, and that's Jon Theodore of Mars Volta/QOTSA on the drums!

Saw Dave earlier this week. It was a good gig, and he made it better by bringing out a piano and even acoustic guitar at one stage. But for me, he's better on disc than live (I've made his two albums my AOTYs so it's maybe a high bar). I felt like the oldest person there by a couple of decades too...

these guys are amazing live! I saw them twice this week on Tues and Wed and both shows blew me away beyond my expectations.This Monday was my second time seeing Squid, and they thrilled with another electric performance. Got situated smack dab in front row a few feet of Ollie's drumset
Deliluh
Duo from Toronto fusing drone, post-punk, no wave, and a touch of synthpop. Quite loud, but enjoyable.
Neither member acknowledged the crowd at the start, after a few songs, nor in the final number...not even a wave to the audience.

Squid
This set had most of their singles in a shuffled order from the Doug Fir setlist, and they included "Peel St." this time around
Just like last time, audience chanted for an encore...but it never came (but I knew to expect none this time around lol). So once again, an awkward exodus for the crowd.

Post-show
Got a tee at the merch table after the show, the only merch item available other than 2xLP black vinyl of their studio album. Already have mine signed last November from meeting them near their van and getting a photo with the gents, so no pressure this time around.

I'm so thrilled I got to see these shows because they're only going to start playing bigger and bigger venues going forward, especially when I now see how they were playing tiny clubs in NYC only last year. (man, I wish I was into this band back then)
and same thing with Deliluh at the NY shows, zero acknowledgement of the crowd during the set, though I did catch a random nod or wave to the crowd afterwards as they were clearing out their gear. they were interesting and enjoyable enough, probably more interesting to see live than to listen on vinyl/stream their album. they did join Squid on Pamphlets on the second night, but honestly between the tech issues the guitarist was having and whatnot it kind of fell a bit flat at the end.
but holy hell, if you enjoy seeing a group of individuals put on a killer show I can't recommend SQUID enough!
Night 1 (Bowery Ballroom, NYC)
Night 2 (Music Hall of Williamsburg, Brooklyn)

Had a fun night seeing Erika de Casier after calling out of work! I love these $15-25 concerts so much lol

No, not the 90s portable phenomenon.
Their set went for no more than 25min, but was fairly dull overall. The music is kind of a hyperpop/R&B hybrid but devoid of energy. None of the vocal performances/instrumentals sounded distinct from each other, and just blended from one to the next.
Erika de Casier
After taking stage and beginning to sing, Erika's microphone was not only garbled with static but also very quiet. She apologized to the crowd and took ~8min to get her equipment in functioning order, with event staff scrambling over to help. She began the set shortly after but unfortunately, there was also some microphone feedback occurring the end of the first two songs which cut Erika's voice out entirely. Soon enough, things were fixed and the ~65min setlist (w/encore) flew by.
She leans into the throwback aesthetic of her music tastefully, with one blouse strap hung below the shoulder as an early 00s trend...or at least I think that's what she was going for.
Despite the early technical issues, a very fun set overall! Encore selection of "Do My Thing" had everyone moving.
Took video of "Busy":
Post-show
Same deal as before at Holocene; I hate how the staff schedule events on the same day to be one hour apart from one another. We were forced out of the stage area merely five minutes after the encore finished, with only ~15min afterward to purchase merch or mingle in the surrounding area then being asked to GTFO.
Waited in the merch line to get my Sensational copy signed, but was losing hope quickly. While in line, I caught up with a concertgoer that I had seen at a few last year with him also wanting to get signed merch (a tour poster, in his case). When I was up next, I requested the merch guy to call over Erika if possible to get my record jacket signed. To my surprise, he was able to summon her, and she was kind enough to personalize the signature. After I and the other concertgoer got our items signed, I thanked her and was about to run out of the venue to catch public transit home, but he immediately got out his phone to suggest taking a picture of us. Couldn't really say no to that, of course.
Another concert success!

Last week I finally got to see Glass Animals. They were supposed to be here the month that everything shut down, but had to reschedule a couple of times.
The Louisville Palace:
The loading screen is fairly accurate, once you see the percentage at the bottom go up, the show will start soon.

The first time we saw Sunflower Bean was in Jan 2018, at a venue called Everybody Hits, in Philly. It was a batting cage. To this day one of the most unique venues I’ve ever seen a show. They’re great, also preordered their new record.

That's cool! They are a lot of fun. I saw them a few years ago at Forecastle Festival, too.

They're playing one of my fave small venues in Philly in May - we haven't picked up tickets yet, but will most likely go. I last saw them in Camden, NJ in Aug 2019, they were on the bill with Spoon, Cage the Elephant and Beck was headliner.

Sons of Kemet put on a fun show tonight in DC! The bad news is that I forgot about the show because I bought tickets back in May of last year (and I also moved to a new apartment yesterday!) and I double-booked myself tonight (totally missed the Oscars, too, haha). The good news is that I still was able to swing by the show and catch the last 40 minutes or so of their set. I wasn’t sure what the vibe would be but everyone was bopping along and the guys seemed like they really had fun performing and sharing their energy with the small crowd. While many of their songs seem pointedly political, the show (at least the part that I saw) seemed to focus on just creating a vibe. At one point near the end, Shabaka said that he knows US audiences expect more on-stage banter, and he kind of apologized for not really doing much of that and announced that he was going to make some kind of statement, but it just ended up being something along the lines of identifying macro sources of tension in the world and needing to alleviate that tension both at the macro level and the individual level. I was expecting something a little more specific or hardhitting than that, but oh well. It was a really fun show and they seem like really lovely guys.

Had a blast with Magdalena Bay in Portland on a Wednesday night!
Cecile Believe
Electropop musician from Canada. Her set went for ~35min.
She was OK. But, hearing her voice while performing sounded eerily familiar. I researched her name immediately after her set ended, which confirmed my hunch...she had cowritten and performed guest vocals on half of the tracks on SOPHIE's iconic OIL OF EVERY PEARL'S UN-INSIDES, including the amazing "Is it Cold in the Water?," although she didn't perform any tracks she appeared as a feature on the album in this set. I can assure you that the crowd would've gone berserk if "Immaterial" or "Faceshopping" had played, as notable examples. I'm certain that the overlap between Mag Bay fans and SOPHIE fans is sizable.
I completely spaced on how I knew of her name before, but remembering now makes me regret not bringing my copy of SOPHIE's only studio record for her to sign (on the back, out of respect for the late legend).
Magdalena Bay
Lots of fun! The duo performed Mercurial World from front to back for their set. Was really surprising to see a live drummer; totally thought would be a synthetic implementation for live performances given the electropop/synthpop hybrid of their music.
The back visuals were mostly vaporwave (really despise that word/term), Windows 98, geometric models, and a touch of cel-shaded graphics. There was some narrative tying it all together, a robot named Chaeri (one of the singles on Mercurial World) desiring to feel emotions.
Encore consisted of three songs from their recently released EP. Altogether, a roughly 1hr set.
A recording of two tracks segued together seamlessly, just like on the record:
Post-Show
Took seemingly forever for the crowd in the stage room to clear up. I debated getting merch for too long after the conclusion of the show, so the line to the merch table went for at least 80+ people wrapping around half the length of the building. Merch table didn't have any copies of Mercurial World on vinyl, so while I didn't purchase physical media (I'm on a no-buy March, after all) I did purchase one of the four T-shirt options. After, Matt and Mica were right there at the merch table for everyone to get merch inked, photos, chat briefly, and whatnot. So, why not? Kind and generous of them to wait until probably over an hour after the show finished to get to meet everyone who waited after. I didn't know they were an actual couple outside of professional music creation until they hinted at it during a part of one of their skits during the show (confirmed in an overheard conversation).
EDIT: Can't believe I said "Thursday" in the introductory sentence.
