Takka Takka @ Union Hall, Brooklyn, NY | pics
DOWNLOAD: I take my drinks like Jackson (MP3)
Union Hall is a great new venue - good sound and space, plus Takka Takka rocked (Aug 17, 2006) - they actually rocked more than I expected given the mellower nature a lot of their music. They gave me more of a Hold Steady bar-band feel than the indie rockness of Clap Your Hands Say Yeah (who they're touring with). Don't miss them. And oh yeah, they all smiled a lot. I love that.
"And last night’s set, a truly skilled performance that offered a near-perfect balance of musicianship and showmanship, proved they may just deserve every bit of star-rising that comes their way." [stereoactivenyc]
Takka Takka play with Annuals @ Sin-e in NYC on September 14th. Then they go on tour.

Union Hall has a terrible jukebox and equally terrible lighting upstairs.

The lead singer looks like he might be really hot. Can someone confirm or deny this for me?
