The concert bonanza continues. Having just seen The Drums two nights ago (and thankfully not seeing Trans Am the night before), I (wearily) arrived at the Grog Shop for the Battles show. Truth be told, I'd been spending a bit more time with the Walls album (the opener) prior to arriving tonight.
I've really been enjoying this electronic / pop sound happening these days and Walls is one of the bands defining it right now. Their set was more of a DJ gig, as it was just one long performance, no breaks and no applause. But you know what, that's fine. I think it would have interrupted the story. You should really check these guys out and consider their new album, Coracle.
I mean, just check this track out - it's great!:
By the time Battles took the (packed) stage, the Grog Shop had to be near capacity. It'd been a long week and the path to the bathroom was gone - so I decided I wouldn't be staying too long. I enjoyed what I heard from Battles. Great stage setup, loved the guest video vocal setup. Here's a couple distance pics.
So knowing I wasn't doing Battles justice with this review, I at least wanted to also share a La Blogotheque video - just so you can appreciate their sound.
