In light of the comments in the Random thread, I decided to make a thread for these guys, as I think they deserve it. Also, there are a number of bands that I only know about because I had seen their names in the titles of threads, so maybe some more people will give Twin Shadow a listen.
Anyway, just got back from the show a little while ago. I was super impressed! They were really tight and had the bass way up in the mix which was an awesome decision. I felt it gave some of the tunes a bit of a Talking Heads vibe. Even songs that I thought were just okay on the album were standouts live... hell, the whole show was filled with standouts. They were really quite awesome. The venue was sold out, so it was really cramped (with Hipsters) and hot and sweaty, but whatever, the songs were great. I bought an LP after the show and George Lewis Jr was cool enough to sign it for me (I felt like a huge loser asking, but the guy was standing right there. What was I supposed to do?).
The set was short (as expected from a band with one album) but very sweet. Great energy in the band too
So ya, if they come to your town, go see them.
I'm also going to have to edit me favourite songs and albums of 2010 because I got on these guys too late. They're definitely near the top on both counts. It's nice to have a new band to be excited about. Things were starting to get a little stale for me
