Erasure (acoustic) @ Society of Ethical Culture, NYC | pics
Erasure ended their short acoustic tour at the beautiful Society for Ethical Culture building in NYC (May 19, 2006). The ex-church chapel is right on Central Park West. The seats are pews, there's a giant chandelier and angel statues, and a balcony surrounded with all this exquisite wood work.
I realized at the show that I know less of Erasure's music than I thought, but it was still fun to be part of a show with such an enthusiastic crowd in such a weird setting by an iconic 80's British synth-pop group....acoustic.
Neither the pews nor the acoustic-nature of the show stopped people from getting up and dancing to the hits (Chains of Love, Oh Lamour, etc), but the pews were extremely welcomed when they played material from their new acoustic album Union Street.
* They recorded the show in London. You can buy it.
ALSO AT THE SHOW
* The Charisma Chronicles
* Onri le Schwa
* dbbourroughs
* And actually this was their 2nd to last show.
Last time Erasure was in NYC, they played 10 shows in a row at Irving Plaza.
