The War on Drugs @ Bowery Ballroom – 3/19/14
War on Drugs

The War On Drugs put out their excellent new album, Lost in the Dream, this week (3/18) via Secretly Canadian, and brought their current tour in support of it to Bowery Ballroom last night (3/19) for their first of three sold-out NYC shows. The show was a family affair, opening with Sore Eros, a collaborator of TWoD’s friend and past collaborator, Kurt Vile. Then came Doug Keith of Sharon Van Etten’s band, whose new album features TWoD’s Adam Granduciel. His band featured other members of SVE’s band, in addition to members of Megafaun (and Sharon could be spotted in the audience). (Less “in the family,” but The Julie Ruin’s Kenny Mellman was in the crowd too.) Finally The War on Drugs headlined, playing almost all of Lost in the Dream, plus a good amount of its predecessor, 2011’s breakthrough LP, Slave Ambient, and a track from 2010’s Future Weather EP. Pictures of the show, including one of the setlist, are in this post.

The War on Drugs do it again tonight (3/20) at Bowery Ballroom with White Laces and Lantern, and Friday (3/21) at MHOW with TEEN and Sore Eros. Both sold out.
