Built to Spill vs. Gang of Four

Old-school Built to Spill just played four sold-out shows in NYC. Older-school Gang of Four plays their third of three NYC shows tonight (followed by a DJ gig @ the afterparty)

I didn't go to any of the BTS shows, but did make it to the GOF one @ Tribeca Grand last night (two thumbs up). Here's what they're saying...

Built to Spill

"Now, there's inebriated, there's drunk, there's wasted, and then there was this girl - hovering in that "How is it possible that she's still standing upright?" zone."
- Tale of Two Cities

"They just don't make them like built to spill anymore. so good at irving last night."
- Catherine's Pita

"Last night stood out instantly when the band came out five strong - two extra guitarists instead of just one, the first time I'd seen that."
- One Louder

Gang of Four

"Together they walloped the crowd with their bass-thumping sound. Even the pink-haired mohawked guy upfront was dancing all over."
- Waved Rumor

"An incredible show. I mean really, really fantastic. I've seen some pretty great shows recently, but this one was enjoyable straight through."
- Extrawack

"They were great!"
- Central Village
