photos by Tim Griffin
Asobi Seksu headlined the Bowery Ballroom in NYC on Thursday night (4/2). The great triple-bill featured both Crocodiles and Tyvek as openers. The pictures in this post, of the headliner only, are from that show.
Currently supporting their new album Hush, out now on Polyvinyl, the band has two more NYC shows scheduled in the near future. The first has them acting as opener for Yann Tiersen at Irving Plaza on April 16th. The next is a headlining gig at Music Hall of Williamsburg on June 13th. The Brooklyn show is part of the Northside Festival. That means badgeholders can try their luck at getting in, or you can buy tickets which go on Am Ex presale at noon.

Bowrie shows get crowded, but they get ill sometimes too. Take the good with the bad. Take me home, please.

Great shots. That singer sure is a pretty one, yeah?

Really great show. The band sounded perfect and they were surprisingly much "heavier" live than they are on record. I think they only played for an hour or so but I heard everything that I wanted to, including most of the best from Hush.

Great show. The drummer played his balls off. Sound at Bowery was fucking phenomenal as usual. Looking forward to the Irving show. I feel like they've really found their sound with the new record.

Highlight of the night was when she got on the drums at the very end of the show and went nuts. They definitely rocked out harder than I thought they would (a good thing).

Asobi Seksu's Saturday, June 13 Northside festival show at WHOM was one of the worst shows I've ever seen.
They have no stage presence. She has zero charisma and a very limited, fairly weak voice.
To make things much worse: it was too bloody loud. Ridiculous. One could not "hear" any texture, anything. It was oppressively loud.
Also, the blinding light behind the band flooding the audience was both irritating and very cheezy.
This was a the worst show I've been to at WHOM.
It sucked, completely.
