David Bazan & band @ Pianos in NYC - pics & setlist
photos by Kurt Christensen
" [On Tuesday I] had the opportunity to attend an invite-only show at Pianos on Manhattan's Lower East Side. In a small room packed mostly with music journalists and other industry types, Bazan and his band blasted through a 10-song set in just under an hour, still making time for his typical practice of Q&A.More pictures and the setlist below...The entire set was drawn from the new record, he played almost the entire album, with the exception of "Harmless Sparks" and the addition of "Cold Beer and Cigarettes" and "How I Remember" from the "Fewer Moving Parts" EP. I have had the opportunity to see Bazan many times in concerts in a variety of venues, and I can honestly say that I've never heard him and his band sound as polished and tight as they did [Tuesday at Pianos."

Oh shit, I fell asleep again.
So boring, even for "invite only industry types."

It was in fact an excellent show (with 11, not 10 songs). Full review at my blog from a few days ago.

The final photo above of the setlist does show 11 songs.

Yes. Agreed. I was just pointing out that the setlist photo proves that the "10 song" quote was inaccurate, and supports the statement the 9:39 comment made.

In the first photo (outside Pianos), there is Matthew Caws of Nada Surf, who was at the show. Nada Surf is also on Barsuk.
