Just got back from the St. Vincent/The National show at Slowdown. St. Vincent played solo, no band. It was more electronic based than when she played at The Waiting Room. She opened with a new song I haven’t heard and she played what I will refer to as “Bang Bang” which is a really great song that she played at her other show. I don’t know why it’s not on the album. Hopefully it’s on the next one.

The National sounded great on the Slowdown sound system, but I’m just not that into them. I was really there for St. Vincent and got really tired and didn’t stay for the whole National set. The crowd seemed really into them though and, like I said, they did sound crisp and full. I do like the drumming in a lot of the songs.

I am pretty much brain dead, so I will offer photos rather than my words…and a video or two if you’re lucky.
