« Black Francis playing acoustic shows @ Joe's Pub & other dates, the Breeders playing gigs too | the Delta Spirit 'Bushwick Blues' video premiere + tour dates »

HEALTH
UK's Gold Panda kicked things off with his synthetic glitch-house, fitting in with a certain forward-thinking new breed of dance music (Pictureplane, Crystal Castles) that HEALTH so openly loves (this was their "DISCO2" comp record release after all). Just a shame that from the audience's vantage point you couldn't see him construct drum beats and launch samples from his MPC.
Indian Jewelry was the surprise face-melting of the night, summoning spirits at Music Hall with an awesomely loud and heavy set that mixed the occult with the industrial. Better experienced live than on record.
HEALTH were as tight as I've ever seen them, playing pretty much their whole discography as fans eagerly sent their bodies aflail and shifted like a drunken sea. They capped off their set with the new "USA Boys" before returning to do an encore which consisted of "Courtship", a song that runs for less than a minute. I looked at my friend and we both laughed a little, knowing we couldn't really ask for more.
More dates HERE. More pictures from Sunday's show at Music Hall below...

Nah I would rather much live in LA than your Hipsterville neighborhood. Every time I have to come into your neighborhood, I feel like I'm walking into a movie set....fake people trying to impress everyone else around them.
LA > Brooklyn

@2:11 WHAT THE FUCK are you farting about?!!! Williamsburg reminds you of a movie set, with fake people?! Is it fucking opposite day or something? Because last I checked, all the movie studios and fake boobs in the world are in LA! Did the damn sun fried your last remaining brain cell?

Both places suck equally. End of arguement.

Faggotry abounds in both places. LA's are just tanner.
