Seattle band BOAT were in town over the weekend playing Friday (11/13) at Union Hall and Saturday (11/13) at Bruar Falls. (They also played Boston and Philadelphia while on the East Coast too.) Both shows were a lot of fun, the band made a Big Apple with a Mets logo on it (BOAT loves the underdog), and their kick drum was adorned with iconic New Yorkers (Sarah Jessica Parker, Debbie Harry and Davids Letterman, Dinkins, and Schwimmer). Union Hall got confetti, Bruar Falls got funny signs, and at both shows they passed party whistles to sub for the theremin used on "Name Tossers" from their great new album, Setting the Paces.
More pictures from Bruar Falls, and videos from both shows, below...

what split did they play between 1st/2nd/3rd album? songs distributed pretty evenly?
wish I made it to this

They played about 3 from each of their 2 previous albums, and mostly pulled from their new record. One song included a couple verses from GBV's "Motor Away," and at Union Hall they covered a Dear Nora song. Both shows were very high energy.
