Nice sweater Mr. Rodgers.

why didn't they play knotty pine???

Interesting crowd at the show last night. It was funny to see how many people rushed to the exit door once the band played "Stillness Is The Move".

That being said, it was a really good show. Highlights include their mini acoustic set they did around the halfway point ("The Bride" never sounded better) and the live version of "Remade Horizon", with there new vocal jam they do before the start of the song, blows away the album version.

Can't wait to see what the band does next!

can someone explain what they like about this band. not being snotty- just curious

I love Glass Ghost.

Worst band.

Don't you just wanna know who's sleeping with who?

Damn, amazing photographs!

Well, to be completely honest, I just like them because Brooklyn Vegan and Pitchfork told me to.
You?

"Stillness Is The Move" could also describe last night's lame crowd. These stoners should avoid actually having to leave their couches, and instead find a way for NYU to pay Dirty Projectors into playing their dorm rooms.

such shit

people with bad taste all around these parts these days. Who the fuck are you people? Go to a Cribs show or something.

fuck these hipster pussies and their terrible taste in music.

True story....they opened up for Deerhoof at Irving Plaza couple years ago and they totally sucked!

Most overrated band of 2009....they're just selling these shows out b/c Pitchfork gave them a great review :)

Pitchfork = hipster heaven

I don't understand the big deal about this band. and I did just see the Cribs!

Jeremy Jay wouldn't be caught dead in that sweater.

you like them or you don't. its no fucking mystery you internet trolls.

You remember trying to explain why you liked Applejacks even though they don't taste like apples?

It's one of those.

they're not that bad, they're not that good either. overrated, probably. tune yards was pretty good.

goddamn this band is so good. sooo goood. omg sooo goood so good soooo good soo good. soo good. so. good. love themmmmm

omg saw them at bowery, venue is so small, i hope they blow up and i can say i saw them at bowery

who cares, im over them, i saw them at irving plaza a couple of years ago. their new stuff isn't as good.

yeah you are probably right. so many nyu kids there; i didnt even see john norris

who cares i saw randy randall and the effeminate guy from grizzly bear

which one?

nice

i think alot of people like them because of their chorus of yodeling girls , which is a total gimmick.

i saw them open for deerhoof and it was horrendous.

they really don't deserve this much attention.
and hell, they definitely didn't deserve to open for deerhoof!

yeah please explain this band's appeal

if you listen to this music, you will turn gay.

3:43 you it like it's bad to be gay?

Anonymous has to chill the fuck out

listen to this video and explain why you like them

i don't know how you could see this band in their current incarnation and not be impressed. the way their songs are put together is so strange and amazing, they cram a hundred styles and influences together and somehow it comes out as a coherent whole.

to the douchey short guy who barged in front of me and talked all

the way through the old songs about how the old songs are better

than the new songs: you should move to l.a. where you can be a

douche all the time and nobody notices.

to the cute girl with the douchey short guy: you can do way better

than that.

don't worry guys this band will be gone in a couple years.

hardest working band in show business

strings were definitly pulled to get this band where it is today.

Tune Yard > Dirty Projectors last night, Tune yards one of the best acts ive seen this year. DP was good but they were better this summer at the Jelly show.

"strings were definitly pulled to get this band where it is today."

...says paranoid jealous person in another band who has bad taste

6:59-nope, not in a band and have no desire to be in one. and personally i think i have fine taste in music.

you clearly don't. move along lurker

i am fine where i am but thanks anyway.

wow so much hatred.
i think they are great!

come on, feed the anger, fuel the hate!

Wow, so Big Star plays at Masonic Temple last night in Brooklyn, sold out show, first time they ever play in Brooklyn, the band is amazing, and um, where's the hipster-blog-20-photos-of-the-band-making-it-look-religious coverage?

Oh - it's at Bowery focusing on some wildly overhyped band, yet even the VOICE managed to muster a mediocre review of it. How funny and ironic at the same time.

Big Star didn't allow flash photography. Alex Chilton really enjoys saying no to just about everything.

wow. sooooo much pointless negativity... what witty, clever people you all are! you totally stuck it to those lame, hardworking, creative musicians!

9:46, take a chill pill. There's actually no negativity here, just people that can see through mind-numbing hype. Also, "hardworking, creative" - it's entertainment at the end of the day. Make no mistake.

True story....they opened up for Deerhoof at Irving Plaza couple years ago and they totally sucked!

I was at that show, and I absolutely agree; they played poorly that night.

I have seen them 4 times since then, another time with Deerhoof at the NYC Knitting Factory show, and they have improved immensely. Dave's guitar playing is explosive, and their drummer hits like Bonham in his prime. They have great material, and yeah they are based in the indie aesthetic, but they do wonders within that frame work. It's challenging music, but the world needs more of that.

If there are 2 Posies on stage - you really call that Big Star?

Is Amber preggerz?

Yes and the baby is your mom's

coming

relax don't think about the way I treat you

my, that tune yards is a big girl.

I can see why if you're an early adapter and didn't like the band based on those impressions, but they really have become a mighty beast live. I too really didn't want to like them but after seeing them live, I was converted.

"Knotty Pine" was killer last night too.

tune-yards owned this show. one girl upstaged probably the most interesting and talented live band around these days. how has only one person mentioned this so far?! shes phenomenal.

and to the person who felt the need to express that shes a "big-girl"...grow up.

she really was fantastic on wednesday night.

im sooooooooo high!

What time did the Dirty Projectors come on the other night at the Bowery?

Some members of the Roots are gonna sit in with Dirty Projectors tonight at Bowery.. you heard it here first.

THANK YOU FOR THE USEFUL INFORMATION

nice photographs! congrats
