Fleet Foxes

In less than a year Fleet Foxes have gone from opening a show at Bowery Ballroom to headlining their own to almost-instantly selling out two nights in a row at much larger NYC venues called Grand Ballroom (on Saturday, 10/4)…

“Fleet Foxes played a new song called “Silver City,” which is apparently about Robin’s first day of camp. He played electric for that one, instead of his standard acoustic. Another memorable moment was when Robin unplugged his acoustic for “Katie Cruel” and “Tiger Mountain Peasant Song.”” [look at me, I made a blog]

…and Webster Hall (on Sunday, 10/5)…

“Second night in a row of Fleet Foxes bliss. I know, I really am spoiled. Same amazing sounds, different banter. That’s really the charm of these guys; they love to respond to the audience. I like how someone just randomly yelled out, “Ren and Stimpy!” To that, Casey Westcott joked that there was no open invitation for random pop culture references. The best moment was when someone yelled, “Play Katie Cruel,” right after Robin had done just that.” [look at me, I made a blog]

Along the 2008 way, Fleet Foxes also made NYC stops at Union Hall and the David Letterman show. Pictures from Grand Ballroom, and both of this weekend’s setlists, below…
