Django Django at Music Hall of Williamsburg.
A blast. An absolute blast. They were fantastic live. The songs sounding like the record but with new more raw feel to it. The guys were high energy and funny. Only draw back was they only have one album of songs to play from. This is surely a show to make sure you catch when they are near you. If you haven't heard them, its like the Beach Boys are playing in a dance rock occasionally electronic sounding band.
Dirty Projectors at Carnegie Hall.
This was a Carnegie Hall show (believe it or not my first time there) presented by Wordless Music. There weren't many amps and it was a very adult show. You know, sitting in seats, handed a Play Bill, all that. Any way, while the band and male vocals were amazing, it was really the female vocals that steal the show. This is not a show someone wanting to rock, this is one for the actual fans of musicianship and the appreciators of a different type of song.
Deftones at Terminal 5.
I'll start by saying the sound in this place was finally louder than I had gotten used to them kicking out. Clearer too. Any way, we were able to score VIPs from a friend of mine at CAA, so that made things a little nicer. Any way, the energy was there in full effect. There aren't many metal bands I like, let alone would take time to go see live. On top of it, the new record Koi No Yokan is certainly worth giving a listen.
