Wild Flag played the the Rock Shop (early show pics)

March 7, 2011

“On March 5, all-girl supergroup Wild Flag made their New York City debut with two shows at the tiny Rock Shop in Brooklyn. Featuring some of indie rock’s most experienced and flat-out rocking women, the fledgling band sounded exactly like the sum of its parts. Now, for most other bands, that might seem like faint praise. However, when your “parts” are made up of two-thirds of Sleater-Kinney (guitarist/singer Carrie Brownstein and drummer Janet Weiss), ex-Helium frontwoman Mary Timony, and Rebecca Cole of the Minders, that’s a sum that most bands can only dream of.” [TheMST]

We were at both shows, but for now, a set of pictures (including the setlist) from the early show, which Yellow Fever also played, are in this post.

And don’t forget Wild Flag are also play Radio City Music Hall with Bright Eyes on Tuesday and Wednesday – tickets to the Tuesday show are still on sale.
