Wild Flag (10/10/11)

There was a choice last night, between two equally compelling shows.  The Beachland had Bitch, who I've seen before, and is always a great performer.  I've never seen Wild Flag, but I did have a great experience seeing Sleeter Kinney back in Hot Rock days.  However, the great new self-titled Wild Flag album (buy it on InSound) had swung me in the way of the Grog.

Opening was YellowFever out of Austin.  This duo sounded good, were really talented, and I really enjoyed listening to them.  I did.

Now I have to admit.  I think I'm feeling a little burned out... or something.  I went into the show last night with some excitement.  Saw some friends I hadn't seen in a while, and was overall pleased to be there.  But during my time there, I felt kid of distracted and unfocused.  So just as YellowFever was "good" - so was Wild Flag.  I preface this because I know this show was better than the creativity I can muster to do these ladies justice. Honestly, I was thoroughly pleased sitting back and the bar chatting with a friend while Carrie belted out from afar.

They did play my favorite song from the album (and of the night):
