Fleet Foxes and their openers The Cave Singers, two Seattle-based bands, played the city’s Moore Theatre for the second consecutive night last evening to a sold-out and enthusiastic hometown crowd. I live-tweeted from the show for @Hidden_Track and to get a sense of what it was like to attend I’ve complied my tweets and twitpics below.
Both bands had the audience’s strict attention all night. The Cave Singers, who drew enough fans to more than half fill the Moore for their set, warmed up the stage with their blend of psychedelic-folk rock lead by lead singer Pete Quirk’s raspy growls and charming stage presence. Fleet Foxes, on the day their sophomore album Helplessness Blues was released, commanded the stage and offered a blistering and genuine performance of new and old tunes.
