Mercury Rev played Bella Union’s official CMJ showcase on Thursdsay (10/15) at Le Poisson Rouge, part of their short tour. Though the band just released their first album in seven years, The Light in You, their set made the most room for their 1998 classic Deserter’s Songs, playing “Holes,” “Tonight it Shows,” “Endlessly,” “Opus 44” “The Funny Bird,” and “Goddess on a Highway.” Pictures and setlist from the LPR show are in this post.

Also on the CMJ showcase were Icelandic band Mammut, UK group Landshapes, and Ezra Furman (who played BV’s free day party the next afternoon). Pics from their sets are below…
