St. Vincent/The National show

Just got back from the St. Vincent/The National show at Slowdown. St. Vincent played solo, no band. It was more electronic based than when she played at The Waiting Room. She opened with a new song I haven't heard and she played what I will refer to as "Bang Bang" which is a really great song that she played at her other show. I don't know why it's not on the album. Hopefully it's on the next one.

The National sounded great on the Slowdown sound system, but I'm just not that into them. I was really there for St. Vincent and got really tired and didn't stay for the whole National set. The crowd seemed really into them though and, like I said, they did sound crisp and full. I do like the drumming in a lot of the songs.

I am pretty much brain dead, so I will offer photos rather than my words...and a video or two if you're lucky.

I'm still amazed that "Marry Me" comes from AD.

It makes me so happy.

In fact I may go listen to St. Vincent right now...

I really wish I could've gone. I haven't been to Slowdown yet! But hey, at least I've been to Film Streams...twice.

The sound is really amazing at Slowdown. Super clear. Almost too crisp and clear. My ears aren't used to it.
