I'm writing this from the kitchen of a lovely home in Albuquerque, New Mexico, where my girlfriend Jess and I have been staying with her sister's family for the past few days. Though I'd intended to have more concrete performance dates lined up, I didn't jump on it in time so I decided to focus more on the family time and dig up some "open mic" opportunities. . .potential venues for next time and possibly a gig while I'm here.
Yeasayer’s set was short – just over an hour and combined songs from 2007’s debut release –All Hour Cymbals to most of Odd Blood. Both albums are diverse in sound and appeal, but newer compositions “Madder Red” and “O.N.E.” were quite nasty, most notably the later which got the small room shaking. Yeasayer has been sweating it out harder than former tour mates MGMT, and aren’t hailed as genius as Animal Collective but as evidenced by their no bullshit live shows and determination to reinvent pop and experimentalism, Yeasayer's going to be around awhile.
