The xx @ Congress Theater on 10.20.2012

On Saturday night (10/20) The xx brought their tour in support of Coexist through Chicago for a performance at the Congress Theater. John Talabot and 2:54 are along for the ride, and made for a great pair of warm-up acts. Jamie xx's beats were loud and pulsing, and Romy Madley Croft and Oliver Sim sounded great with their duel lead vocals and blissful guitar/bass tones. But it wasn't exactly an enthralling thing to witness live. All the same, many audience members seemed to enjoy the show just fine.
