WOW. After a mediocre Tegan and Sara show at HOB on Monday, it was so refreshing to be at this Little Dragon show! Before we get to that, Xavier Omär opened. It was just him singing with a DJ on stage. There were some mixed feelings about his performance amongst friends, but he was really putting himself out there and I can respect that.
So Little Dragon. It has been a little over 7 years since I’ve seen them live (at the Grog Shop!). I guess they were originally booked for the Beachland Ballroom this time, but changed venues for “production value.” Based on the show they put on at House of Blues, I can kinda see it - if only for costume changes alone. So musically, they were on fire. It was different, fresh, and passionate. I even had in my notes, “the consummate alt art indie pop band.” I guess was really feeling it. And some of that may be due to the venue not being as full as for Tegan & Sara. There was plenty of room on the floor for dancing, which also has much better sound than the edges of the space where you’re at (if you’re me) if it’s busy. I already can’t wait to see them again.
I took a LOT of photos. You can see the rest of them here.
