I'm From Barcelona played Brooklyn & Coachella (pics)

this show (brooklyn masonic) was fucking amazing.

I love a man in suspenders.

what was the cover song they played last night? The whole show was incredible!!!!

Does anyone have any good videos/pictures from this.

*rolls eyes*

i'm sure videos will turn up from the masonic hall show. the entire show was filmed by boost.

fun show, but damn the sound was horrible. They have 15 or so members but it just sounded like a four piece garage band

The cover was "Like A Prayer"

do they kids these days really not know "like a prayer"? how is that even possible?

i stole so many people's bags at this show.

no, i think there was a different cover they played about halfway thru the set.

they were probably too young to remember.

*feels old*

The Balloons & red outfits look like a good gimmick. I'm glad to see so many hipsters having fun. Is it considered un-cool to not attend shows like this? Please let me know so I can take note of your thoughts...

I thought this was not very good at all.

I first had some trouble getting over all of the Boost Mobile marketing. I was suspicious of all of the photographers roaming around and guessed that we were extras in a modile phone commercial. I got my picture taken a couple of times and I guess I can now go to the Boost Mobile website to view them. I think we were there over an hour before the first(of 2) bands took the stage.

The first band had an OK sound but it seemed like it was a much weaker version of many other bands I've heard. They tried unsuccessfully maybe 6 times to get the crowd to clap along. The singer seemed to be trying to look more intense than the music by shaking her hair around alot. I bet it will look great in the photographs though.

My friend thought I would like "I'm from Barcelona" because I kinda liked the Polyphonic Spree. He was wrong. Before this band even started, the night was already about how many distractions were preventing me from getting into the music. This band took the distraction to new heights with giant pink balloons, lots of confetti, lots of Swedishness, this little fat man in a cape and a conga line through the audience. I'm not saying that I don't like big balloons, confetti and fat swedish men because I do. I'm just saying that this was not a good concert.

But, there were plenty of people that seemed to be enjoying it.. so, of course, I could be way off. Maybe it was all one big parody and i'm too dense to get it.

How does this band make any money?? They have 18 people on stage...that means 18 round trip tickets to fly across the country and back, 18 mouths to feed, and 18 beds to provide. I love their shows, but they are usually at smaller venues, and I can't imagine they would make that much money playing places like Southpaw and The Independent all the time.

I don't think they really make any money. But they get lots of vacation time in Sweden. It's a socialist country, afterall. But if I could take a few months' vacation and travel around with a dozen friends playing music, and just break even, I would do it in a heartbeat. They seem to enjoy it.

was dan deacon there? was it sold out? i'd hit it

what a fucking joke this band is

what a fucking joke your mother is.

I figured it out. With other bands it's all about them. With I'm From Barcelona it's all about you.
