Last night, Chillville fave Shearwater was at the Mohawk for a packed show, in their last American concert before jetting off to tour in Europe. Maryland-based Wye Oak preceded them, and if you like lovely, quiet indie folk, you should definitely check these guys out. Live, lead singer Jenn Wasner has a vocal honesty that recalls Neko Case in intonation and clarity. With only two people, each had to pull some major multitasking duty, but between Andy Stack on drums/keyboard/backup vocals (often all three simultaneously), and Wasner’s very effective use of looping pedals, they fleshed out their sound astonishingly well.
But tonight is Friday night, and you should be hitting the town! White Ghost Shivers are playing the Mohawk with their old-timey vaudeville-cabaret-jazz fusion that is not to be missed. They have a sound that seems plucked from a ‘20s speakeasy, and promise a fun night that’ll make you want to put on your dancing shoes.
Saturday night has to be all about the Lemurs EP release party; Belaire, Pink Nasty, and Low Line Caller open, and will then take turns jumping on stage to contribute during the Lemurs’ set. Between Belaire’s crazy danceable electronic, Pink Nasty’s earnest and sometimes-dirty pop, and the Lemur’s indie new wave rock and roll, expect a fun, crowded time at this highly-anticipated shindig.
