Dirty Projectors played New Years (After the Jump) & NPR

Dirty Projectors @ Knitting Factory, NYC – New Years Eve, 2007/8 (CRED)
Dirty Projectors @ Knitting Factory

BV contributor Nick Masi was there, and he sent me this quick review:

They were great, of course. It was cool seeing them at Knitting Factory and Longstreth seemed to be in the best spirits I have ever seen him. They went on around 11:40 and played til about 12:20! That was the worst part of the show. I was kind of shocked. Especially because they didn’t play “Rise Above.” They missed the countdown, like everyone always does, but they made up for it. They stopped “Gimme Gimme Gimme” to do the countdown, and then went right into “New Attitude” to start 2008!

Dirty Projectors were also recently featured on NPR where the comments indicate they are as controversial there, as they are around here.
