Gentleman Jesse and his men
Great show. Really fun music. I really need to check out the album. Plus, we talked to him afterwards (Ethan knows him a little from Atlanta) and he could not have been a nicer more down to earth guy. But, where is the mustache?Black lips
Hands down best show I have seen in years. I cant wait to see them again. The energy was amazing. And they sounded awesome. They way they handled the chaos at the end (stage was full of fans and they still kept the music together), you can tell they are proper rock stars, like I have never seen before. I am in love. Seriously, so sexy. Awesome Atlanta bands make me so proud.Talked to some young hipsters on the subway ride home. I was surprised that they had not heard of some of my favorite bands. I was later informed by friends that it is because the bands I was naming were "big, like 5 years ago". So... yeah, I am 25 and already stuck in the past. They probably told their friends about the cool older lady they talked to on the train.

Francis and the Lights
We did alot of arguing over whether or not this guy was serious or joking. I was arguing that he was totally kidding, and totally awesome. Like... anyone dancing like that is being at least a little bit ironic, Right? Well, apparently (some post show research)... he is stone cold serious. Well, it doesnt change the fact that it is an awesome show to see. And knowing hipsters love for both ridiculousness and also anything throwback, Francis and the Lights ARE GOING TO BE HUGE.Les Savy Fav
Great show, as expected. I mean, did we doubt that the music would be good or that the performance would be awesome? No. He did his usual crazy stuff: stripped down, went into the crowd etc. This one was a slumber party (it was friday the 13th) so some fans got mud masks and there were feather pillows bursting open.But seriously, what the hell?! The email specifically told fans in advanced that this was supposed to be a SLUMBER PARTY. The band wanted people to come in their best pajamas!!! So, my and my 4 friend CAME IN OUR BEST PAJAMAS. But we were THE ONLY ONES. I guess new yorkers are too cool to come to a show in PJs. LAME.
