Thao was good, but I wasn't blown away...did you go?  About 1/2 of the audience left after Thao or after 2 songs from Xiu Xiu.
 
 It was an odd pairing with Xiu Xiu I must say, though. It was my first time seeing Xiu Xiu as a 4 piece and boy were they loud. I wasn't feeling it until the last 5 or 6 songs...very moving...*sigh*  need to see them again.....

i was one of those that left after thao. xiu xiu just ain't never been my thang. i wasn't blown away by thao, but i don't usually like bands that blow people away, if that makes any sense. very good songs played well, that's good enough for me on a thursday night. "bag of hammers" and "feet asleep" are just crazy great songs.

the filthy youth (cant wait to see how many young girls are trying to see them - Ed from gossip girl is in the band) ... at least its 21+
 
 next week: eels, helio sequence/spinto band, and ambulance ltd/wild light.

I think she has a better voice on record than live...but they are indeed very good musicians and the songs were played well.
 
 Did you catch Chris Garneau? He looked and sounded like Sufjan Stevens...

chris garneau was giving off a nico vibe, except nico is a whole lot more manly sounding.
 
 i think thao's vocals are double-tracked a lot on the record, so that could be the reason she sounded better on CD. but then again, most people do, i guess.

Raveonettes!!!!!!!!!

ghostland observatory for me, who else is going?

So Caribou was cancelled. Drummer broke his wrist.  
 
 But it wasn't a total loss; Fuck Buttons stepped up and delivered a blistering set made up of what I'm pretty sure was Street Horrrsing front to back.
 
 
 Best $5 I've spent in a while.

Very disappointing about the cancellation. But at least I didn't drive 4 1/2 hours like the people behind me (they drove from Blacksburg, VA).
 
 F*ck Buttons were good but people were really there for Caribou. It was just very hard to get excited.

Ehh I left happy.
 
 
 Surely Caribou will reschedule soon.
