Warpaint
"What's enjoyable about their hour-long set was that they aloud the songs to breathe and play out. While they performed maybe 8 or 9 songs, they stretched it out for an hour giving their tunes a sense of space and grandeur. I can imagine how sweet it would sound if they brought out strings for the songs that have them. Another thing, I took away from them is how proficient musicians they are, especially the drummer." [Music Snobbery]Speaking of Warpaint dates, the band (who are also playing the Whitney this summer) just visited NYC and played Mercury Lounge with NYC/Australian band Sherlock's Daughter on June 14th. A set of pictures from that show continues below...

First off, Warpaint's drummer is amazing. Great sense of rhythm and dynamics. Saying that, I have to admit I was disappointed in the show as I thought some of it was plodding in that their catalog is short and often the jamming went nowhere. No doubt this will be a minority view.

"...they aloud the songs to breathe and play out."
Music Snobbery has the worst fucking spelling and grammar. Does he proofread that shit before he posts it?
Dude needs to hang it up. Does anybody actually read that thing? He looks like such a fucking tool whenever I see him at shows.

You know what he looks like when you see him at shows. That already makes you lame.
Posted by Anonymous | June 24, 2010 3:26 PM
he's pretty much the only dork in a fedora holding a big camera at any local show.

the point is....
warpaint is awesome.

nah, warpaint are actually pretty average.

sad/funny part (take your pick) is that the music snobbery hipster probably doesn't know the correct usage of either "aloud" OR "allowed."
fucking american schools.

this show was really really really REALLY... AWESOME! i was totally taken by warpaint, i was expecting some crappy LA bullshit, especially amidst the "already famous" hype against them, but they just took over. drummer was like 50% of the band, she brings them to another level. the other girls each had their own style, had lots of control, played great and it just felt GOOD. really a huge breath of fresh air and i look forward to the new record and seeing them do well and keep getting better. right on!
