May Recap

My life has been ruled by commercial production this past month and I have had NO time to write in this lil' old blog of mine.  That doesn't mean I have been slacking on seeing live music though!  I have so much to go over it makes my head hurt.  I'm currently in Montana and head to the famous GORGE tomorrow for a weekend I've been thinking about everyday for the last several months--Sasquatch Festival.  Check back next week for my report.

Florence & The Machine - Terminal 5
Lungs

I've said this before, but I hate hate hate this venue.  Florence went on way earlier than expected and unfortunately I missed half the show.  Not to mention I've never been around such an angry crowd!  Who are these fans of yours my dear Florence?  Good thing I could still see your fire engine red hair and hear your beautiful sweet voice.

Local Natives - Bowery Ballroom
Gorilla Manor
SUCKERS
              
Local Natives

Missed the Yeasayer show for this, sigh.  Got over that quickly once the music started rocking my world.  SUCKERS opened for Local Natives, and they were okay.  Totally forgot we shot them at SXSW, but Natives stuck out for sure.  

Mumford & Sons - Music Hall of Williamsburg
Sigh No More
Mumord & Sons
Boys boys boys, I love ya.  And apparently so did every single person in the audience.  The crowd sang every lyric--no BELTED every lyric.  There is no mistaking how much your fans adore you.  And now I'm one of them.

The Black Keys - Super Secret show @ Classic Car Club
Brothers

No, I did not go to this, but one lucky friend did.  Don't worry, I'll see them at Central Park Summerstage in July, and have been listening to Brothers nonstop.  This is different Black Keys.  Different and wonderful, and filling my ears with sounds and mixtures of beats original to the Keys, yet keeping their classic sound nonetheless.
