Yeasayer kicked off last night at Emo’s with an intensity-fueled set; their typically gorgeous harmonies suffered a bit live, but lead singer Chris Keating more than made up for it with prowling stage presence to spare. Then Man Man came on and blew everyone away. Live, they are a little like the craziest show you've ever seen, but with the addition of rubber snakes, kazoos, and a lead singer swinging from the rafters. Think Gogol Bordello, or White Denim cranked up a few notches, and you’re starting to get the picture.
Speaking of, White Denim is opening for Tapes N Tapes at Antone’s tomorrow, in what promises to be an energetic – and crowded - night. Local favorites White Denim are known for their dirty, funky garage-rock sound, and for absolutely killer live shows. If you’re there be sure to pick up their new album, for sale on tour before it officially drops for mass public consumption in June. And Tapes N Tapes – well, what can be said? Music blog darlings, these indie rockers exploded on the music scene in 2006, bringing to mind the Pixies at first listen. As incentive to check it out, listen to Don’t Look That Way At It by White Denim, and Omaha, a lovely little song by Tapes N Tapes that gets a Chillville-approved thumbs-up.
